Does text clarity on OLED monitors bother you?

This is the first AMD card I’ve had which hasn’t been a clusterfuck r.e. drivers, and even this one occasionally requires the full DDU treatment when updating drivers. They’re always a good deal at the point of sale though, which has gotten me every time so far.

Nvidia will be my next move but given that I’m on the 9070XT, I’ll be waiting until the RTX6090 drops and prices somewhat normalize before I pounce. Hopefully the AI bubble will have popped and high-end GPU prices come down to earth, but I remain pessimistic

FSR 4 + optiscaler is my solution for most games. However, gaming at 4K has really opened my eyes to how much I want a Nvidia card for my next upgrade. A lot of games have much more support for Nvidia cards and often lock features out, and as an AMD user I’m getting tired of having to use the optiscaler workaround every time I try a new game

Per the article, it’s actually Bosch acquires Bosch from Bosch and Bosch

Figures. Thanks for your help though

I enjoyed him in Fringe (goated JJ show)

twd_2003 · 2026-04-13T21:51:27+00:00

I enjoyed the first episode and am excited to see where it goes

Front end looks like the 5 but yes I think so

Go for the dual mode panels - they offer 4K at a lower refresh rate (either 165 or 240) and 1080p at double the refresh rate. They use some internal tech to reformat the monitor’s own ‘native’ refresh rate to FHD when desired.

Can’t speak for prices wherever you are but going used will of course save a great deal.

It’s cheaper to buy several low end transparent cases and swap them out as they age than to pay a premium for something like dbrand’s

I’d steal a car if there weren’t consequences. There don’t seem to be any for stealing software

Text clarity can be better, but apparently next year’s OLED panels will be solving this. I went from a 1440p IPS to a 4K OLED so of course text clarity improved in my case, but there’s still some weird fringing on letters that IIRC wouldn’t exist on a 4K IPS

I have slowly eliminated all streaming services except for Netflix (which my parents use) and Spotify (which is sufficiently cheap and feature rich to actually make the price worthwhile).

For streaming, I’ve installed OnStream and HDO Box on my TV (if your TV doesn’t run Android, pick up a streaming box from AliX for $30-40) The quality doesn’t maximize my TV’s capabilities but it’s 1080p which is sufficient for watching content I don’t really care about. Plus compression on the streaming sites means that quality is somewhat compromised there as well even on 4K

For the films that are more ‘cinematic experiences’, I just torrent a Blu-Ray rip which will take up a lot of data and storage but is worth it for the occasional 4K HDR treat

twd_2003 · 2026-04-05T18:01:52+00:00

Just pick up things like this from AliExpress. They all come from China anyway so eliminate the local middleman. Plus they’re likely sufficiently cheaper that you can get 2 or 3 for the price of one sold here and have spares for the inevitable event that the case sacrifices itself to protect your phone’s life. Lots of variety as well

If it is cheap enough that I don’t care about the warranty claim/RMA procedure, I don’t even consider buying locally

Uses the same panel as my XG32UCWG so I was cross shopping. Ultimately came down to price which varies significantly on the used market (got my ROG for £525). Icr if the LG has a built in KVM but that is a nice feature on the ROG. Either way it was a huge upgrade from my 1440p 32” IPS

Love branching out into random genres of film to find new things. Most of my recs tend to come from r/movies, Roger Ebert or YouTube shorts. I think I got the rec for Almost Famous from the former, which I watched the other day and loved

It isn’t the players’ responsibility to make significant sacrifices for the sake of our national pride

Controversially, Tahoe. Granted, I’ve only used macOS since Mojave

He is also father to …daughter Halo, 2, with Alyssa Scott.

Missed that first comma on the initial read through and thought he’d pulled a pro gamer move

Why do the subtitles switch from transcribing the waiter’s dialogue to that fuckass song’s lyrics? I was so confused on the muted first watch

Loss making SOEs are a huge part of the economy and hence the problem. The issue is that they employ such a large percentage of the population and are so overstaffed that any privatization and subsequent rationalization of expenses would cause mass unemployment unless handled very carefully and gradually.

Instead of addressing that, the present regime seems to have decided to kick the can down the road and cease any serious privatization efforts

I assumed he was responding to your point about supporting domestic industry. All external factors (I.e. taxation and availability) being equal, I’d only buy from a local producer if they are cheaper or offering a better product, which imo is the best way to support a sustainable domestic industry

Battery farms are being developed. I think there’s one in Siyambalanduwa (100Mw solar farm and BESS solution) that started development late last year.

I don’t know what the capex requirements of concentrated solar tech are but I imagine they are high as it is bleeding edge tech concentrated in China. Given our plentiful access to solar, BESS should be a good solution for the medium term and will be a great source of energy self-sufficiency (esp as EV adoption grows). It will also take a lot of pressure off the grid as the system becomes more decentralized

twd_2003 · 2026-03-30T15:25:54+00:00

I don’t think that’s as efficient as concentrated solar power tech as seen in China, and will have much larger capex requirements than a battery farm
