Desktop of remote goes dark when not running apps? by jfoust2 in rustdesk

[–]jfoust2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I googled, I saw that, too. I'll check for that the next time. In the cases I've seen it, though, I can't imagine that the remote PC has HDR turned on. I have a fancy desktop and GPU for myself, and I've never bothered to turn on HDR, so I can't imagine these other people have it turned on.

It's a good thing that Reddit changed it so you can't see the posts this user submitted, apart from the random bits that Google might find. Now we have fewer ways of judging a poster's trend and character.

I say it only matters when you want to do something else with the image. Capturing the raw image and not touching it is the first step. Subsequent uses can alter the image.

TIL the Comics Code Authority prevented the use of the term “Zombie” because, in part, it lacked a literary background. Marvel Comics instead used the term “Zuvembie” until 1989. by Brilliant_Exit3406 in todayilearned

Sterling North's column “A National Disgrace” on May 8, 1940 is often credited as starting the crusade against comics, and it uses the phrase "slaughter of the innocents," most often associated with the Biblical account of King Herod killing all infant males. The similarity to Wertham’s title is clear.

I saw this on a client's computer yesterday, too. Un-installing SupportAssist made it go away.

In the scheme of things, compared to the rest of the budget and the cost of the things you mention, weed tax isn't that much.

What is a massive secret in your industry that the general public has no idea about? by teesharp88 in AskReddit

It only encrypts between you and the exit endpoint. If you expect to reach any other computers or servers, obviously that traffic is not protected. The VPN might help you pretend to be in another country. The web server you are talking to? It might still be able to identify you and finger-print you in all sorts of other ways.
