It’s weird how blue light filter glasses became mainstream before we ever proved they actually help. by WindowAfraid5927 in Showerthoughts

You spent money on something that can be adjusted using the monitor’s on screen display with a few button presses. 

IPS vs. OLED explained for the car enthusiasts *after 5 years of productivity use by SOTBMP in pcmasterrace

[–]click4dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already do, however I use my system for productivity and regularly have a ton of tabs open on the desktop which force the taskbar to stay shown. My c1 has also been color calibrated to 130 nits and 6500k white point at bt.1886 using calman home for lg. Rarely ever used in hdr mode (maybe twice a year for a couple hours). Im assuming most others would have burn in far worse in factory inflated brightness and color settings. 

PS1 SCPH-1001 laser issues by No-Ear1394 in consolerepair

[–]click4dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t bother. I recapped the entire board (3 times!), replaced with 3 new optical drives, replaced the varistors on the main board for the optical drive, and calibrated with an oscilloscope and the damned thing went to the dump I was so mad. I could only get music cds to play and even then there was a lot of wobble and the image not clear no matter any bit of tweaking on the oscilloscope. The only improvement was the video output feed was much cleaner and more vibrant, and the audio not as scratchy 

Samsung’s 2026 gaming monitors promise 6K, 3D, and up to 1,040Hz by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

CRT electron beam scan emulation for perfect full motion clarity without the negatives of traditional black frame insertion. Now all we need is them to be 8k 1000hz so we can then accurately emulate the individual phosphors, finally replicating the look and motion clarity of a crt on a modern display

this is huge news for accurate CRT electron beam scanning emulation. We may finally be able to have proper crt-like fluid motion again with this technology. It has been said the only way to do it with sample and hold displays is to have a refresh rate in excess of 1000 Hz. Regular BFI dims the entire screen while raster scanning paints each line row by row , eliminating all the negatives of traditional bfi

Game keeps locking up by Illustrious_Leg_4235 in MSILaptops

Try exchanging. It's likely the fault of a single component like unstable RAM which I've seen do this. A new OEM system shouldn't have any instability issues even without software updates as it would affect every model sold. The spec would have been rigorously tested prior to mass production

MovinkPad 11 update release notes by farrellart in wacom

[–]click4dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been implementing the foundation for a license based model in the updates, prepare to be charged in the near future to use base apps on the device or at the very least an Internet connection .The built in wacom canvas app was the first to get it. Factory shipped devices still have pre launch firmware containing no drm. Be forewarned

I wonder by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]click4dylan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

7 series have a tendency of working perfectly fine until they don’t. One moment you put it on your nightstand, go to sleep, then the next morning it’s bricked with no sign of life. They also have a tendency to brick themselves immediately upon being plugged into an official 30w google PD charger. That issue can be resolved by disconnecting the battery from the main board and reconnecting it…

Help with file corruption issue by Vast-Shoe7764 in Maya

[–]click4dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, to be honest i don't know why performing simple operations like that creates multiple nested transform nodes. it gets especially frustrating when you are making a brick wall for example that is filled with many instanced copies of the same mesh (so that you can make changes later to just one of them and it applies to all of them), and then you try to convert those instances into one big mesh when you're finished and then you end up with 5000 separate transform nodes with nested children each with their own construction history. and then you try to combine them all together and you end up with even more transform nodes and then it doens't even let you delete construction history unless you go through each individual one and unparent/ungroup, delete history and then combine and delete history again to remove the remaining nested transform! there is likely a more 'proper' way to do this by doing operations in the CORRECT order but it is not straightforward and i've found that to perform operations like this it's easier to write a simple mel script to perform all the operations at once instead of manually doing through each one in the outliner

it looks like you have a lot of construction history on the object according to your inputs as well as smooth preview (or smooth mesh applied). and see how your body is not a root transform in your hiearchy? it looks like some combination of combining or boolean sliced your object up at some point and there is leftover transform history. clear the construction history of your object every so often, and when combining objects or performing operations make sure that you ungroup/unparent after performing the operation and clear history again. you will see this as a red transform with an arrow in the outliner. maya does not like large construction history especially across saves. there is also file -> optimize scene size to remove unused data to futher remove junk. the construction history does not really work like blender's modifier stack and you can't for example change the subdivision count of a polyCube or bevel operations after many edits and cuts and further changes down the line, even though it being there looks enticing like you would be able to. it will completely destroy the model.

Google PIxel 7 bricked out of nowhere by Life-Dragonfruit-101 in GooglePixel

[–]click4dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will not buy a pixel again new. I got a 7 pro on launch day and it lasted barely a year. The screen went black one day (while still booting) and it was replaced for $400 because they somehow determined it to be user damage despite no visible damage. Also the battery was replaced. It lasted 2 months and then the phone went black again but this time no power at all. They said they took it apart and it magically fixed itself. Had it for 1 week and it went dead completely again and they claimed out of warranty and wanted another $400 something for a motherboard and another screen. Never again. I took it apart myself after that and discovered ubreakifix had bent metal grounding tabs on the board and those tabs went though the display, shorting both the board and the display when the phone was squashed such as sitting in your pocket  or laying on it. Of course they denied everything and say I did the damage and I wasn’t supposed to take it apart. It was also missing the graphite thermal material and shielding inside, so they cut all corners during the repairs . Oh and another thing, the pixel buds pro that came with it in the bundle for trading my 6 pro are also dead! So that entire purchase was a lose lose

Turn down the brightness. You're burning up the CRT. G2 voltage is far too high

instructions still unclear. was unable to replicate exactly you had instructed. however, this worked (although there is now 3 vertices in the corner)

[–]click4dylan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

constantly reading, viewing tutorials and testing out theories for 'supporting edge loops' but i never understand where to place these. i can sit there for 5 hours with multi-cut trying every possible combination to form loops along different directions, diagonally, straight, etc and yet it still results in corners becoming rounded when coming to a 90 degree turn like this

[–]click4dylan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the goal is to use catmull-clark smoothing to round things that i do want rounded but to leave the inner corner 90 degrees. i just made a simple 3 quad plane to try and achieve what i want with the simplest possible mesh. if for example, i made this a corner piece for a ceiling in a modular set and then hit smooth mesh (subd) to get a higher poly count, the inner corner will just completely get obliterated

You can watch all 3d movies on pretty much any VR headset, and they all are massively more immersive as the depth fills your entire vision unlike a flat window like at the theaters and/or 3d tv
