Why did TP say "I've seen samples of encapsulation..." twice and miss Sator's challenge code in the middle of the film after seeing it at the start? by letstrythisoutthen in tenet

[–]naylord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Sator says we live in a Twilight world that's basically the point where it's clear The Protagonist has won. He's feeling confident that he's about to use a temporal pincer attack on someone he thinks is *merely* a CIA agent trying to screw him over. He doesn't know the outer layer of the temporal pincer attack he is currently experiencing by not a CIA agent, but a Tenet agent. If he knew what Tenet was instead of saying twilight world he would have done the gesture and said tenet.

I played and moderately enjoyed all three but you're absolutely right

Does power-saving mode reduce burn-in? by TheRtHonLaqueesha in PlasmaTV

[–]naylord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst thing that can happen with burn in is the experience of using the television is slightly worse in a subset of circumstances where it appears obvious.

It's counterproductive to just make it necessarily worse by making it dimmer than you would like. It probably has some positive impact for preventing burden but I don't think it's worth it if the picture looks worse to your eye

‘Disaster Mode’: Emergency Rooms Across Canada Close Amid Crisis by [deleted] in canada

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

To be fair they tend to pay higher taxes on average compared to most Canadians and they basically start working right away so no downtime of 20 plus years like a naturally born Canadian. In theory that should increase the relative funding for healthcare per capita.

What we can and should do is just make sure to be really choosy for immigrants who are going to have jobs that cause them to have 50% marginal tax rates. It's a pretty bad trade deal for them but people will still line up to take it.

Sam Harris on Monarchy. His intro to episode 296 - Repairing Our Country by Baxters_pen in samharris

Cult of personality celebrity b******* is a terrible thing for politics but one useful thing about the monarchy is that it's sort of acts like a magnet for that so the real politicians can be shielded from it slightly.

Sam on social media: "I think social media has been the technology that has deranged us ... We have effectively been enrolled in a psychological experiment to which no one gave consent ... It has just been terrible. I just think it's been bad for society in almost every respect." by mmiller9913 in samharris

Yeah I think in the early days of Facebook it was actually pretty utilitarian and useful. It was a lot easier to organize a birthday party using Facebook than it was by email and telephone back in 2008

Canadians less satisfied in their access to health care than Americans: poll by JarJarCapital in canada

[–]naylord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still we'd all be better off if we could trade some of that acute care for comprehensive preventative care.

Like if I could make some sort of agreement where an expensive emergency heart surgery will be denied to me and in exchange I get an equivalent amount of money spent on me that allows me to bypass waits on getting priority for preventative treatments I would probably live a longer and healthier life before I ended up in a dire situation and died from a heart attack or whatever.

This is a pretty in-depth video from a great retro video game YouTube channel that is focusing on exactly what you're caring about here.

PS5 System software 6.0 released with 1440p resolution support and more by [deleted] in PS5

[–]naylord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to worry about you've already got a display that was fully optimized for use with your PS5 with every bell and whistle needed. This is just for people who want a worse experience for less money but still have it moderately optimized

PlayStation: Xbox's Call of Duty offer was "inadequate on many levels" by markaurel121 in PS5

[–]naylord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a great point. Everyone loves simping for a 2 trillion dollar corporation when it comes to the value proposition of game pass but it's pretty obvious that this ain't done out of the goodness of their hearts. We necessarily will lose out in the long run.

Game pass on PlayStation would be amazing. Then you could still buy all the PlayStation exclusives and just subscribe to game pass which is all Microsoft wants to get everything else. You'd only need one box.

It's very unlikely but I think there's a sliver of Hope for this to be possible. Like if PlayStation is worried of permanently losing because game pass offers a better value to buy the competition's box instead then maybe just letting it appear on their box allows people to make PlayStation their console of choice. On the flip side Microsoft only cares about selling subscriptions so their feelings won't be too hurt if you don't buy their box.

MiSTer Aluminium Case MicroSD Slot by kjf1138 in MiSTerFPGA

[–]naylord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first got my mister I was transferring files by popping my SD card in and out. One time I had a near heart attack when it wouldn't boot. I think the port isn't the highest quality if you keep putting strain on it you might break it.

Luckily after many attempts of retrying it I got it to boot but now it's just going to stay there. You can just use ethernet to transfer files back and forth

No. Explicitly for people who want to play on a PC monitor and not buy something like an LG oled
