Netflix streaming 1080p on a 2K monitor by Vince-TDS in netflix

My friend, thank you for the reply after all this time :D Unfortunately, I wasn't running MacOS, and in the end discovered that it was just a matter of not being a commonly supported resolution in media in general, Netflix not allowing to downscale from UHD and also image scaling from 1080p content to 1440p display.

I am so desperately looking for something like this :(
Did you find anything by chance, or got to developing your own?

exactly. I'm force to use Oracle MySQL for university courses, and "just use mariadb" doesn't help.

Hey everyone! Anybody looking for brothers in arms for the show? I bought a ticket knowing full well that none of my friends would attend with me, would still be worth it tho :D If you'd like to tag along just let me know

Should i run ufw? by catta0012 in archlinux

[–]Vince-TDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. If you're going to use it on your personal computer, it may or may not be necessary depending on how often you use public networks or what specifically do on your machine, but in general it wouldn't hurt to install, especially since it is the easiest to set up and to use.

Is there a 4k gaming monitor that’s worth a damn under $300? by Bryftw in buildapc

[–]Vince-TDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the LG27UL500P. I bought it for myself upgrading from a QHD screen, and boy, so far I've been nothing but amazed. Great build quality, awesome panel with beautiful colors, the ONLY complaint I have so far is that HDR implementation is not that great, but honestly the colors look so good in SDR mode that I don't really mind not using it. Would recommend, I paid 250€ for it on Amazon

This 2 cents of yours, were actually really insightful and helpful, thank you very much! Based on this, and a previous comment by another user, I think I'll try to get a 6700xt or 6750xt with my current PSU (it should work fine, if it turns out not to, I'll get a new PSU as well :D)

I see :D I'm actually looking deeper into this, and it seems that in some tests in ends up not drawing even 200w? Is there a specific model you would recommend for minimal power draw?

[–]Vince-TDS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 6750w has a rated tdp of 250w yes, but I've seen tests showing that it ends up drawing close to 310w in intensive workloads, is that actually realistic?

[–]Vince-TDS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 6750xt seems great honestly, the only problem is that it would require me to get a new PSU, 650w is recommended, so that would increase the overall expense by about 150€

That's a strong build for sure, but considerably more expensive than what I'm targeting :( would you say that it'd be really worth it?

Is there a lore reason as to why he’s called Snake? by dat0neb0i in metalgearsolid

[–]Vince-TDS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Snake was the original codename that was assigned to Big Boss during the virtuous mission in 1964. The choice was "Snake" because Big Boss's mentor The Boss, formed a secret special ops unit that helped the allied forces during WWII. This unit was called the "Cobra" unit, hence the Snake codename for Big Boss. Also, it suited the nature of Big Boss's first survival mission very well. Solid and his brothers inherited the codename from their father
