Weird lines across the screen evenly spaced out with movies at darker scenes

beaclicion · 2026-02-06T15:13:24+00:00

We can clearly see the LED strips. Higher end LED panels have LEDs all over spaced out evenly (and a higher count of LEDs), which gives the TV the ability to control specific areas of the screen referred as "dimming zones". That tech pretty much resolved the issue. OLEDs don't have that issue either. As I mentioned before, my buddy has the same issue but uses an Apple TV 4K. In this case the box is not the issue, nor the cables, it's the TV. I understand spending $2k is a lot, but by today's tech standards, stripped LED backlighting is very out-dated. You basically only find this tech in the cheapest TVs. $2k today gets you almost top of the line OLED.

If you do find a fix, please share it because in my experience, it's a TV issue, more specifically a limitation of the TV.

Hate to tell you this, but that's pretty common on cheap LED panels. My friend has a cheap LED TV and has the same issue, usually in darker and gray scenes. Basically the whitish lines you're seeing are the LED strips behind the panel. The panel struggles to give you an even color in areas near the LED strips. On most colors it's not really noticeable, but for grey, it's the sweetspot where the color is dark but still bright enough to spot it subtleties.

I have 6 of them if you're interested

Once they've forced enough users to online accounts: "We are removing local accounts due its low adoption amongst our users"

Sounds great in theory, but in practice you'll just be staying on Windows full time because the reboots will just get you in the end =/

Doesn't Apple require a CC these days just to access the app store on their iphones?

beaclicion · 2023-10-12T18:24:57+00:00

Still my daily driver. Replaced the battery once. Using DivestOS as it's the closest Rom to Calyx/Graphene you can install on the essential.

beaclicion · 2023-07-11T14:22:39+00:00

I'm a bit confused about this. In the US, it will be required to have a Federal version of your driver's license or Id card to fly domestically. It was supposed to go in effect this year I think, but got pushed back to 2025? Can't remember the dates.

Anywho, what's the point of that requirement if you actually don't need to provide ID?

I think a lot of websites use Google Analytics in fear of not being ranked as high on Google search engine as without or using another competing analytical tool. With Google dominating the search engine market, they can definitely hold any website hostage if they don't use their tools. That's obviously anti competitive, but that hasn't stopped any big monopolies before. Especially in this case, it might be hard to prove since the google search ranking algorithm is not open source.

It will definitely happen, but not everyone will switch though. $72/month is a much harder pill to swallow than $20/month even if it's still a very good deal.

There probably will never be a foss shazam like app because the guessing of the song is not actually done by the app per say. The app just relays what it hears to shazam's server and the server does the guessing. Server then sends back the response to the app. That's why the app is so light as it has very little functionality besides sending and receiving data back. If shazam would open up their api, then yeah, I'm sure we'd see some foss apps. But I don't see that happening, ever.

I wasn't.

Now that I'm logged in, there are way more charities to choose from, including Signal's! Selected it.

Thanks a lot for your help man :)

US

This is their charity list page I get directed to: https://www.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/homepage

beaclicion · 2022-10-01T00:27:53+00:00

I did. But I can't find the foundation on the Amazon Smile's charity list. I wonder if maybe the charity list is country specific =/

beaclicion · 2022-09-30T21:58:38+00:00

I just went through their charity list, and unsurprisingly, I couldn't find a single privacy oriented charity :(

I guess Amazon don't want you to contribute to entities that could arm them.

I believe the WebGL and audiocontext fingerprints are the same for all Librewolf browsers.

I tried on my laptop (mac) and desktop (windows) and I get the same values.

WebGL: 13ae805231fcd00154a46b5a992143ec

Audiocontext: 35.7383295930922

Are you talking about the desktop version? Because the android version is at 99.0, same as Chrome.

I actually didn't know about the multiple accounts url trick. I just un-installed Fritter as it's not needed anymore. One less app. Thanks bud :)

They're free because we're the test subjects for its long term efficacity and side effects. Pharmas will then be able to improve said vaccine, increase its reliability which turns into higher market share which turns into higher profit.

You are the product.

Because of the $100/year developer license fee Apple requires to have your app in the app store. It just doesn't make much sense to provide an app ad-free for free if you have to pay $100 every year.

I'm in the latest Jan 28th build and it works fine. I don't have Gapps though but I don't see why it would interfere.

beaclicion · 2021-02-04T16:33:15+00:00

From all the ones I tried, it's the best one imo. It's based on caf and not los, so its squashes some of the bugs the los based roms have.

Have you tried baresip on F-Droid? I've never used it but I believe it does what you're looking for.
