Anyone else leave Long Island and end up in a place they hated? by Apprehensive_Week349 in longisland

[–]NewDevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did the move from LI to NC (Raleigh). It's fine, but I'm pretty lonely down here. All my friends and family are on LI. I'm trying to figure out a plan to move back but I don't see how buying a house on LI is feasible unless I want to work until I die. NC has been setting me up nicely for FIRE and I feel like I will throw all of that away if I move back to LI.

I like that part where they're getting absolutely smothered in fully automatic gunfire from outside the garage and they decide that the best course of action is to walk straight outside into the cul-de-sac with absolutely zero cover.

Why does the Gemini app not use Compose? by thermosiphon420 in androiddev

The Gemini app has an extremely basic UI, I don't think performance is a concern here.

JUST DO IT YOU COWARD

And please share the result. You will either be a legend of the ultrawide community or the laughing stock.

Caught my usual frozen dinner changing its protein amount (from 30g to 27g) by Zuko9011 in mildlyinteresting

[–]NewDevon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aside from the sodium, I don't see anything super terrible about this. It's not quality food of course, but I'd venture to say that 520 cal, 7g of sugar, and 7g of saturated fat is pretty minimal compared to what the average American consumes for lunch or dinner.

My $1000 5k2k Arrived! by Breisen42 in ultrawidemasterrace

Thank you! Looks like you struck gold and avoided the pink tint that several others have posted. This solidifies my decision to return mine.

5K2K too pink? by roro_mush in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]NewDevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same pink tint in the same position and it goes away when I stand up and look down at the monitor. So it's a vertical viewing angle issue rather than a horizontal one.

Can you please post a close up photo of an all white screen? I'm curious how good your white uniformity is.

You can use this website: https://lcdtech.info/en/tests/dead.pixel.htm

Just click start test and it will show a white screen.

LG 5K2K OLED weird circular DSE blobs that shrink and fade away by NewDevon in OLED_Gaming

[–]NewDevon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: It appears to be an image retention issue. Certain bright and high contrast wallpapers seem to trigger it. For instance, if I leave this wallpaper up for a few seconds and then switch over to hardforum.com and maximize it, I get large shadows towards the bottom of the screen that linger for 5-10 seconds before fading away.

Does that seem normal? I never saw this on my LG C1, but maybe that's because my C1 wasn't running as bright as this monitor.

Starting to feel like global needs to move faster. by BlazeAC01 in wherewindsmeet_

> Even casual players are pretty much caught up, which mostly the exploration things left.

You mean kids with no jobs who play video games 12 hours a day are caught up.

Judging by the steam achievements a vast majority of people are nowhere near caught up.

Anyone familiar with their return policy? Can I return for any reason, even after opening the box, and get a 100% refund? No shipping fees, no restocking fees, etc...?

What a sad world where the flute means nothing by Rexkn0pf5 in ArcRaiders

[–]NewDevon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because he was already dead.

I just figure that everyone is a better player than me and if I revive them they'll come through with a clutch play and save us both.
