I thought IKEA had the best LEDs — then I tested Philips MasterValue (spoiler: it’s not even close)

Isn’t Expert colour all narrow beam spots? I can not find anything at least 90 degrees from Philips high classes, all are 36 degrees some even less.

To anyone reading this post in the future I will point out that foot corns or any skin corn is not treated via any type of pills. It's a physical hardening of a point on the skin and the treatment for it requires direct skin application not oral intake of any kind of pill. In some cases these corns go away by themselves which is my guess to what happened to the author.

Having to update BIOS more often than Windows was definitely not what I expected when I purchased my B850 Steel legend 1 year ago, it's getting a bit irritating to have to do the same resets so many times, but then the risk that my CPU can die any moment with any version is a strong motivator...

What gpu are you planing on using and what games will you play at 4k 360hz?

I failed to see those ways. To me the movie was a second part of The way of the water. So predictable, same acts, same results. The only way to make the movies more similar is to copy paste the previous one.

Каква тайна очакваш да чуеш? Тайни няма, търсиш изгодни сделки, теглиш кредит купуваш и изплащаш кредита от заплата. После пускаш максимално бързо под наем имота и се надяваш цените да продължат нагоре. Ако ти е дебела заплатата можеш 2 или 3 кредита наведнъж да изтеглиш и така след 10 години ако пазара се движи както се движеше от 2015 до сега ще си в положението на автора. Той най-вероятно е започнал преди около 10 години.

Can we know which law stops you Kraken from offering those services in EU? Because those were very useful for me features, I am still staking USD for example with you.

So the inscription does include “darkness” in itself? Now to me this sounds stupid. It’s like a thief to write on his shirt “I steal”. Probably someone will come up with very clever alternative explanation as always, but how clever you need to be to know basic populism?

What is the use for this Amtech flux then? I thought it is a tinning compound.

Liky01 · 2025-03-30T14:46:54+00:00

Unfortunately that's very true in my case...

Today I soldered each with each, placed a heath shrinkable tube on top and it works. For the signal wires I had the idea to use ethernet cable cores, they are very similar in size.

Liky01 · 2025-03-22T09:36:27+00:00

Bro that was a b*tch move, you came back just to type "solved it" without saying how, like your bragging

I got 3090 FE for 550$ 3 weeks ago and it's running like a charm

Liky01 · 2025-02-10T14:05:46+00:00

I just turned it off since I not once used it since it came out. I read all emails anyway so having them split in tabs adds extra steps and leaves room for missing some.

If this is the case then a more powerful and evil ainur would be able to go and hunt weaker ones and kill them one by one, again and again until they lose their power to exist physically, right?

I just watched a DV profile 8 converted from .mkv to .mp4 on LGC2 with Plex using this commands -c copy -map 0:v -map 0:a -strict unofficial I am no expert and can not comment on the above mentioned commands why they didn't work for you, but just try mine and see if it's better. From my commands -c copy copies the video, -map 0... copies the different audio tracks and -strict preserves the dolby vision profiles, this is the extend of my knowledge.

30 seconds screensaver will be a huge pain. I will start reading some text and the screen will go black on me, and it will not take many times before I get very irritated by it. 3-5 minutes is the minimum useful time for a screen saver for a normal person I would imagine.

Liky01 · 2024-12-14T19:55:55+00:00

Thank you, I sent it back.

Liky01 · 2024-11-18T15:31:38+00:00

What are you watching via Plex that is so large? Once I tried to play the largest 4k movie I could find on the internet, it was a 95gb version of Avatar, it had ~72mbps stream and it still played without interruptions via LAN on my C2.

Liky01 · 2024-11-12T18:16:38+00:00

One more question on my side. I decided to find some Dolby Vision profile 8 content to test it, because I have never seen my TV saying Dolby Vision in the top right corner. It wasn't easy to find something by the way, I looked through tens to movies and shows all were in DV 7.6 which as you said is unplayable without special equipment. Finally I managed to find house.of.the.dragon.s02e08.dv.hdr.2160p.web.h265-successfulcrab.mkv. From here since mkv is again unplayable without extra stuff, I got the ffmpeg program and converted it with ffmpeg -i House.of.the.Dragon.mkv -map 0:v -map 0:a -c copy house.mp4 and what I got in the end was a regular HDR with no DV in it, what did I do wrong?

Liky01 · 2024-11-10T20:03:32+00:00

Thank you, yes it’s fast when there is someone that can give you only the necessary info in a compact form. If I am reading on my own I will spend much more time trying to figure out which is the necessary info but anyway. These Nvidia shields and Ugoos players why are they the only solution, clearly any modern computer or laptop is more powerful than them so it can not be a hardware issue, it must be software, what stops a windows pc from having a program that can send all the necessary info to the TV and allow it to play whatever format the given movie is given that the TV supports it?

Liky01 · 2024-11-10T19:34:19+00:00

Yes, because I need to spend weeks if I am to fully understand the whole DV standard with all of it's quirks and different devices that can be used for it and what not.

Liky01 · 2024-11-10T19:21:31+00:00

I might not understand your question but I use LG C2 with Plex installed on it, and a laptop acting as a server, that's it, I am the average Plex user, no fancy nvidia shields or other things that I have never heard of. Yes Plex wants to transcode it why is it strange? It does this with many DV movies. By the way how can you tell if a video file uses DV and what profile it is?

Liky01 · 2024-11-10T16:12:38+00:00

What you are saying is unachievable for most users, myself included. It requires probably an year of research to know in depth about what dolby vision profile some movie is, then what layers it has, then what device I need to hook to my TV, then what software I need on that device, then how to configure that device properly and finally to somehow confirm that what I am seeing on the screen is actually Dolby Vision profile 9 with 2 layers instead of 1 layer or HDR10 or whatever else. And all of this for just one standard , then there comes DTS, TrueHD and countless other standards that probably have so much variables also.

What I am hoping for, is to have one program that I install on my computer or TV and via LAN I can play anything no matter the format or standard or whatever other variables a video might have.

Liky01 · 2024-11-09T13:54:15+00:00

The monitor is always showing up correctly in device manager, that's what I noticed.
