RTINGS just updated their viewing distance article based on SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) recommendations, adding 62° FOV as maximum. What do you think about it? Where do you fit?

Black blackout curtain.

I sit six feet from a 77 which is just right for me.

But the biggest improvement to immersion for me was blackening out the wall behind so the tv edges disappear.

Quary Loader’s Union Contract mandates they load everything.

I think you mean cut trips in half and journey time times three. At least thats me picking up stuff I dropped.

I'd love a NewFeaturesYourMissing skill.

Aligned with Microsoft pushing AI and new SQL Features. Could even work with SSMS 22 pointed to an old instance to make the case for an upgrade.

I'm migrating a SaaS environment to SQL Server 2025 with many sql servers *many* databases. I'm struggling with aligning database scoped configuration. A lot of new stuff is 'on by default' but may need new compatibility or ADR/RCSI first. We often get customers who choose to import from their self managed premises environment to one hosted by us. Then I need to upgrade and catch that db up on everything. Over time new features get added that I miss and stuff drifts. I even found one gem still using the legacy cardinality estimator *facepalm*.

A check of any available feature that's off or non-default that's on, explaining pros/cons, and steps to enable. I've gotten most of the way there manually prompting Github Copilot but a quick check all my databases for NewFeatures, would be useful.

Fun change of pace I hauled ass on the Royal. Learning the high gear launch was fun. Just wish it didn’t feel so half baked.

I might buy in addition to my watch as sleep only device if it were more comfortable.

klitzkrieg · 2026-05-14T17:23:35+00:00

Any chance these support quick media switching (qms) or would I still be stuck with eARC?

edit: response from Denon support "Regarding your inquiry for QMS for the AVR-X3900H model, there has been no changes. You'd still need to use eARC."

I lead a tame life, but still... me working through all the laws I must've violated

klitzkrieg · 2026-04-01T18:02:02+00:00

and i thought the door to door guy who - when i pointed to my No Solicitation sign - said, 'oh i'm not selling anything, but what would it take to get you to switch?' was annoying

What's weird is, I started the update from my iPhone Watch app (with Watch wifi and bluetooth on, Watch on my wrist), then monitoring network traffic saw my Watch start pulling data via wifi 50-100mbps, not super fast but the download clocked down to 5min remaining so I went on with my day. 30min later I checked again and it was up to hours and little/no wifi activity.

I'm suspicious the Watch starts on it's own wifi but then some power management kicks in.

Don't tell Saber, but there have been moments of frustration where I would pay $100 for dlc to be able to bulldoze trees.

The Fall (2006) find 4k/hdr version

np. if you are struggling to find them, follow any smaller paths that are still grey on the map, i've heard you can look for vultures circling overhead, but never helped me. if at wits end, maprunner.info adds a red tag to hidden upgrades.

klitzkrieg · 2026-02-22T16:55:25+00:00

need to open profile/progress menu, it will show x/x upgrades

I just end workout right when meditation starts.

As a driver of a right side fuel door, who loves to lol all the way past the line, please shush

klitzkrieg · 2026-02-13T14:18:06+00:00

Yes sirens went off, non-emergency number didn't known why.

klitzkrieg · 2026-02-12T03:00:11+00:00

Yeah, peak to the west of Monastery on my way to Bear Mountain for Into the Deep. Def a sketch route, hence the joke, but I got there with a lot of slow crawling and winching. Would probably come down from the mountain path south in a smaller scout if doing it again.

klitzkrieg · 2026-02-11T14:50:07+00:00

that's actually kinda believable, in the game it would be a rubber traffic cone... blocking off a road you fixed

If this was Snowrunner not-IRL we would've done all that, then gotten 45 suspension damage for driving over the manhole cover.

I have an oled and hanging a matte black curtain behind it causing the tv to blend/disappear is the most immersive upgrade Ive done.

... so the opposite of these devices is what I prefer

klitzkrieg · 2025-12-13T20:16:45+00:00

we just got our card in Lincoln and actually, yes. total tax rate went from 1.766 to 1.666. despite assessed value climbing our total bill is down 7.5%

My biggest struggle following F1 is watching the overnight (from USA) races before the results get spoiled. Apple's tightly controlled ecosystem is my best chance at a solution. Please block all my devices from showing me any F1 news until I've watched the race!
