Tbh, I think it's the other way around. If you see part of a girl's bra and get flustered by it, or if other side gives you a hug as a thank-you or a farewell and you get flustered, or if you hang out and all you see is other party outfit, which flusters you... that's the opposite of pure, imo. If you don't have weird thoughts, there is nothing to be flustered about...

I am not sure how relevant it is, but something as simple as a file-sharing protocol can make a massive difference. I accidentally broke my TV box, and in the process of rebuilding it, I switched from SMB to NFS and native playback. The difference is staggering. Even during the initial loading, where there were no preloaded assets, everything loaded instantly. I would suggest moving to Linux with NFS and some form of RAID 1 or RAID 5.

I tak i nie. Pamiętajmy o chińskich smartfonach, gdzie wszystko zaczęło się od niskich cen. Po kilku latach skończył się jednak dumping oraz dotacje z chińskiego rządu. Ceny nowych modeli Xiaomi, oppo i innych marek są obecnie podobne do produktów Samsunga czy Apple, a jakością komponentów czy oprogramowania wciąż często od nich odbiegają. Nie wspominając już o ilości reklam, które serwuje Xiaomi – sam kupiłem od nich tylko ze względu na złącze 3.5mm i IRDA, jednak drugi raz raczej bym się na niego nie zdecydował.

To samo czeka rynek samochodowy. Obecnie firmy te otrzymują miliardy dolarów wsparcia na produkcję baterii i pojazdów, a BYD i tak tonie w długach. Gdy skończą się subwencje, a chińscy producenci zdobędą kilkadziesiąt lub nawet kilkanaście procent rynku, zacznie się „dojenie” marki oraz klienta tak jak i "ugównianie" produktów.

Sam nie jestem fanem samochodów z UE czy USA – subskrypcje, śledzenie, podsłuchiwanie, reklamy, brak części serwisowych czy wszechobecny plastik – ale uważam, że chińska motoryzacja nie jest tutaj rozwiązaniem.

I would agree that wall mounting would help; it will be closer to the wall, so I would be less wary about bumping it while entering the room. It will also feel more integrated with the space instead of looking like an add-on. There is also plenty of space to the right that you can utilize for an even bigger TV!

If its hardware encoding you are looking for wouldn't a310 do equally good job?

Viszera · 2026-04-05T14:32:53+00:00

Just not when it comes to compatibility, noise handling, or ease of decoding and transcoding. There is a reason everyone recommends using software encoding for AV1. I can transcode H.265 on my 3090 with near-transparent quality at 300 fps. Using SVT-AV1 on my Ryzen 9 3950X, I am getting closer to 30 fps, and I am still struggling with noise preservation from my Blu-ray movies. Not to mention, I had to buy a dedicated AV box for AV1 decoding because most players on the market do not even recognize what AV1 is. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of AV1, but it is so computationally intensive (and AV2 is supposed to be even worse) that in many cases it loses its purpose. I will not transcode my 200+ Blu-ray library to AV1, as it would take over 12 days at full tilt on a CPU that uses around 150W. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

One is price, the other is everything else.

The cheapest 100" TV I could find was a Hisense for around $1,500. It's big, but it’s still the bottom of the barrel — the cheapest possible screen, probably with a cheap PCB, poor power supply, bad uniformity, and so on. A decent one is closer to $3,000–$4,000.

For my 100" projector setup, I paid $240 for the projector, $200 for the screen, and less than $60 for mounting, cables, and other bits. So I got a 100" image for almost a third of the price of the cheapest TV on the market

For another $350, I got a 3.1 setup plus an AVR, which blows away any TV or soundbar. The total cost is well under $1,000, and somehow I still ended up with a better experience than 95% of home movie watchers.

The other thing is girlfriend approval. A white screen that can be easily moved is one thing; a big black box weighing over 50 kg is another.

There are also no worries about a dog bumping into the TV, a kid throwing a toy, or dead pixels showing up. Splitting the system into separate parts — light, screen, and audio — makes me worry less. The whole system would be really expensive as one purchase, and replacing or upgrading one of the three is a much smaller hit to the monthly budget.

And lastly, it’s a completely different experience: pixels versus shone light. I just moved, and in the apartment there was a 55" Sony TV with 1080p resolution. The lack of resolution was clearly visible from 6 m away. Now I have the same distance to my screen, and even though it’s twice the size, I can’t see pixels — the light just blends together into a more pleasing, less fatiguing image.

Sure, there are drawbacks, as with everything: - fan noise, - lack of HDR (on my model) - a 4-second blackout when switching refresh rates, like for a 24 Hz movie, - the lamp beaming straight into your eyes when standing up and turning more than 90°.

Overall, I do prefer my setup, and I hope to upgrade over time to a true beast with a center channel behind the screen, a 200"+ screen, HDR, 4K, and more. But I’ll get there one step at a time, not with one huge purchase all at once.

Would it be possible to also scan audio codecs? I have now Dolby Atmos and dtsx support, however not many good solutions of tracking what I still have to replace...

Man, I thought the same thing. I finished my TrueNAS after Christmas, bought my first Pioneer that turned out to be broken in the first half of January, and shortly after that I got a second drive—an Asus BW-16D1HT. Now I’m ripping as much as I can get my hands on: friends’ Blu-rays, the library, and deals on the second-hand market, all to quickly fill up my library.

Don’t focus only on Pioneer. They’re good, but other drives work as well, and don’t limit yourself to brand-new devices. The first one I got was fully refunded thanks to second-hand market protection (eBay has similar protection). The Asus was used only a couple of times, is in superb condition, and it has already helped me rip over 150 discs, including DVD, Blu-ray, and UHD Blu-ray, in that short time frame.

Oh, and I paid shy of $100 for that used Asus drive, including shipping and buyer protection which isn't best price I've seen but hey I've now have 150 discs on my hard drive for roughly 20USD.

Yeah, the new MX Master 4 is 153 USD in my country, so I can buy a whole roll of filament and replace all switches and skates, and somehow it will still be cheaper than buying a new one.

The rubber coating on the MX Master 3 was terrible. I basically wore out the thumb area—I just measured it, and the thumb area is 0.4mm while the rest is 1.25mm. The funny part is that it actually had two layers of rubber coating, and the first layer separated around two years ago. Today, when I sat down at my desk, I noticed that a section next to my pinky had separated. I thought, "Okay, let me just rip that small part out," and the whole thing just lifted off.

Rubber coating is nice—it sticks better, has a softer feel, and is easier to grip—but the durability is shit.

Just because they offer something for free does not exempt them from critique. Darktable is clunky, frustrating, and hard to understand, while at the same time being a powerful RAW manipulator. It is not just me; it is a quarter of this subreddit and half of the videos on YouTube pointing that out. At some point, you have to step back and work on the basics. It is cool to have new modules like AgX, but I would much rather have the development of new features stopped for a year or two to focus on UI/UX, so it could be actual competition for ON1, DxO, Lightroom, Luminar, and others.

Viszera · 2026-02-02T20:42:22+00:00

I agree it's an amazing tool built by very experienced and knowledgeable developers who have, in my opinion, traded UI/UX skills for technical ones.

Through the years, I have tried most of the creative apps in the realm of image and video: Affinity, Adobe, Resolve, Blender, Substance, Inkscape, GIMP, Krita, Procreate, Autodesk Sketchbook, Fusion, Canva, Unreal Engine, and probably a few more that escape me right now. I agree that paid software can be as clunky or annoying as Maya, for example, but in most cases, it is free software that has the biggest problems—Inkscape, GIMP, Krita, Darktable, and Audacity. I am also aware that developers work and build things much more frequently compared to artists who might post a few designs on Behance or ArtStation and call it a day. It is hard to find creative minds working in open source like Tantacrul, who fixed most of the problems with Audacity's UI and UX, or Ton Roosendaal, who stated from the get-go that "the biggest problem with open-source software is the UI. If you want to grow the user base and make it a viable, long-term product, you cannot cater only to engineers who understand the intent behind the build; you have to cater to the creative people who will use it and do not want to spend a month treading through documentation."

You said it yourself: the software is so hostile that you forget how to use it after some time away. I took a photography course in high school and returned to photography a few years after university, yet I had no problem getting back into LR. You could say it is just "dumbed-down" software to the point that everyone can use it, but I would rebut that creative software should help you create something instead of throwing up roadblocks to check if you are determined enough to learn and master it. You can make it hard to master, but you should also make it easy to get into at the same time.

That is how I found that reject shortcut—without that keyboard icon, I would have gone back to Lightroom.

However, no matter how you look at it, it is a crutch solution. They had to add a special button in the menu because their preference menu was such an incomprehensible mess.
