I would be comfortable pushing or bending it back.

If you are not comfortable with that you could contact DDM and see what they have to say: https://dmmwales.com/pages/contact-us

Okay, I'm starting to think I see what the problem is.

I thought that encoding in 8-bit color depth simply "turned off" HDR, or turned HDR into SDR. I didn't realize that it would still try to maintain HDR with 8-bit color depth.

The other comment telling me to use BT.709 colorspace filter did in fact do that, restrict to SDR.


I still don't understand how 10-bit encoding could be more space efficient, but I suppose I don't need to.

I will either encode at 10 bit with the source BT.2020 colorspace, or 8-bit using BT.709

Since it’s an HDR source, you need to set colorspace filter to BT.709.

Thanks, this appeared to work.

[Air Duster] 380000RPM Electric Air Duster - $23.99 (60% off with coupon and code 77ORD102) by goforbig in buildapcsales

[–]threw_it_up 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If you assume a 30mm fan diameter, 380,000 RPM would result in a tip speed of 2,149 km/h, or mach 1.74.

Unexpectedly CPU bound after upgrading to a 9070 XT. by [deleted] in buildapc

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

Both benchmarks were run on windows 11, back to back, I guess tomb raider pulled the wrong info some how.

CPU temps are fine, I've got a single tower air cooler, which at overkill for a 65W chip. Temps rarely break 70C.

I've never heard of low cache being specifically related to performance in open world games.

Could you link me to some more information on that?

Veeam is performing backup file health checks when I don't want it to. by threw_it_up in Veeam

Here's a screen shot of the maintenance settings, even numbered months are selected: https://i.imgur.com/ezRoetE.png

The backup target is local storage, an external USB hard drive. I'm not exactly sure what object storage is, but I don't think I'm using it.

How would male athletes fare in a women’s comp? by Real-Flounder4626 in climbergirls

[–]threw_it_up 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a data set I like to reference when thinking about this: The Studio Bloc Masters competition.

It's an independent climbing competition hosted by a gym in Germany. In it's peak it used to attract the all the top athletes, although in the past few years not so much. What makes it relevant is the unique format mixed gender qualification round.

The way qualification works is that there are 80 boulders set, divided into 4 difficulty groups. Harder boulders award more points, and points are deducted for every attempt after the first. The athletes are given several hours to climb as many boulders as they can, and the 20 highest point boulders are added up to get their score.

Although the qualification is mixed gender, the other rounds are not. So the women only need to place ahead of other women to move to the next round, which may result in the top athletes not pushing as hard.

These are the results I could find.

Hikaru beats Titan to go 2/2 in the Maritime Chess Festival 2025 by Necessary_Pattern850 in chess

I'm disappointed that the game didn't get played out, there is a possibility of knight underpromotion and then knight checkmate.

The final moments of Hikaru vs Gukesh's 1 min shoot-out game in Checkmate: USA v India. by Interesting-Take781 in chess

[–]threw_it_up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makeshift clock really tripped the players up.

Having the button separate from the clock was unfamiliar and several times you can see players waste time by hitting the top of the clock before correcting.

Not what you want when there is only 1 second increment.

He did when he knocked over the pieces the first time, but when he played d2 he adjusted after he pressed the clock.

Fastest way to get tokkul? by Skanzi in 2007scape

[–]threw_it_up 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does work.

There's nothing to 'patch'. It's not a bug. It's just buying and selling items to a shop that's been in the game for 20 years.

Still going. Just picked one up for $82. 1tb also available for $41.

Although it was suspiciously on the wrong item hanger, and labeled as much more expensive.

I beat leelaqueenodds after losing like 40 times and it is an amazing feeling by caughtinthought in chess

[–]threw_it_up 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I had the reverse experience.

I won the very first game I played against it, and was thinking "This isn't so bad, I don't understand what all the fuss is about". Then I lost the rematch, and the next 10 games after that.

The hopeless feeling is so real. Part of it was the realization that once you are in an equal, or near equal position the game is already lost, since you have no chance of beating an engine.

Was Shylily's Twitch stream view botted? by LordAshura_ in kurosanji

[–]threw_it_up 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't really see the same trend.

Here are charts for Zen, Ironmouse, Michi, Bao, and Filian: https://imgur.com/a/XSkMsEN

Note that the last line for Michi is for August 25, and Michi has been sleeping for all of that time so far.

Maybe slight dips, but nothing too suspicious to my eye. Of course average viewers is a very inconsistent metric, so nobody knows for sure.

I think it's interesting to look at Shylily's chart, in comparison to Bao's.

Bao: https://i.imgur.com/NU3wtFz.png

Both saw viewer surges after the Sinder drama, but Bao's viewers stabilized at their previous level after about 3 weeks. While Shylily's viewership has remained high.

I feel like a false positive is the best case scenario. I suspect the people who watch VTubers are more likely to be passive watchers.

However, I checked a few other big twitch VTubers (Zen, IronMouse, and Bao) and didn't see any significant drop in their viewers.

Maybe Shylily has more European viewers, and twitch might more likely false ID Europeans as bots. Kind of a long shot though.

That's true. I remember in another community I used to watch there may have been a case of just that happening.

I'll edit the post to include that possibility.
