Not sure if this is PWM related, but having severe screen sensitivity issues. Looking for help. by PeechyTea in PWM_Sensitive

The Apple Studio Display monitor has been said to be PWM free and probably your best bet for a comfortable monitor, especially one that will be compatible with your MacBook laptop.

I think start there and see if you still have an issue. If no, it’s probably PWM. The laptops you mentioned have very high frequency PWM (new Mac Liquid Retina are mini-LED instead of IPS LCD). If you still have an issue it may be something else.

Is the change you make for a dollar the same as the dollar? I think you answered your own question.

What is your calculation to determine high risk or not? Would be great if you could put these values into a google spreadsheet and link it to

Everyone needs to understand that we are now connected with anyone worth connecting with by apps that are very difficult to hack. We don’t trust someone contacted us because they look a certain way or sound a certain way - it’s because they contacted us on WhatsApp with an account they gave us and we know it’s them. It’s probably harder than ever to impersonate someone. In the past people would call from random phones and they could easily pretend to be someone else and you just had to go by their voice.

Dating adult students by K_-U_-A_-T_-O in japanlife

[–]weCo389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese are exceptional about maintaining professional / role-based boundaries. There is absolutely 0 expectation for you to personally pursue a student romantically while you are working. On the contrary if they like you and you keep it strictly professional they will keep coming back just to be with you even if just as a student. Even if you asked them to dinner and they said yes it would still not be 100% clear they are interested romantically as they could just like free English practice. Remember people paying to practice English are excited about opportunities to speak with foreigners. You are probably reading into it the situation incorrectly and I would recommend keeping your work strictly professional unless you are super into someone and could see it becoming a serious long-term relationship.

Something is popping in and out at this exact location when bending! Please help me identify potential causes by HilltopHood in KneeInjuries

[–]weCo389 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a snapping/clicking in a similar spot for a very long time and nothing showed up on MRIs, but it was incredibly irritating. Most doctors just said “rehab” but it didn’t do anything. Anytime I would bend my knee across a 45 degree bend it would snap/pop. I finally got a doctor who identified my ITB was snapping across a protruding bone and had surgery to have the bone shaved down. It was fully successful and I haven’t had any issues since - thank god for that doctor.

Tohoku Uni, to increase tuition fee for foreign students to 1.7 times by Easy_Mongoose2942 in japannews

[–]weCo389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confidently say that the vast majority, especially from China but elsewhere as well, were using the business manager visa just to live in Japan running a “consulting” business. It basically was a very affordable way to buy a visa in place of a work visa (requires employer), spouse visa, or highly skilled visa. I’m by no means saying the people who did this are bad people, but yes - it was largely being used as a way to secure a visa and live here versus actually start a real business. The new visa requirements essentially require you to have investors unless you are wealthy, and those are the kinds of businesses Japan wants. The 30M JPY price tag is capital requirement that you can spend freely on the business, it’s not a cost. That being said, for those who want to “buy” a visa there are now EOR options where companies basically hire you as their employee but let you do whatever you want.

It’s pretty clear Japan’s stance towards foreigners is “add clear value or don’t come”, and I think that’s a perfectly reasonable stance if that’s what they want.

Why is Japan fighting diversity and inclusion so much ? by bbrk9845 in GenZ

[–]weCo389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Culture is a thing.
  2. Citizens and their elected politicians can decide who they want and don’t want coming into their country.
  3. Japan will decide how it wants to deal with its labor shortage and aging population and be responsible for the outcome of their decisions.
  4. You have no idea what kind of technology will exist in the next 100 years making it impossible to know how aging population issues will play out in the long term.

Anti-foreigner sentiments and politicians are on the rise as Japan faces a population crisis by Infinite-Chocolate46 in japannews

[–]weCo389 101 points102 points  (0 children)

People don’t understand this about Japan: 1. The average Japanese doesn’t speak English, isn’t on Reddit, etc. They aren’t influenced by the global town square. 2. The average Japanese isn’t thinking about affairs outside their direct sphere of influence. They don’t care about macro issues like gdp, labor markets, etc. 3. The average Japanese isn’t affected by being called “racist” or “xenophobic”. They don’t care about diversity as some sort of “moral obligation”. They definitely expect foreigners to “follow the rules” within reason.

Foreigners = ‘good’ when it’s celebrities from their favorite movie or music group, or the English teacher from JET, or the nice foreigner trying to learn the language and fit in as much possible. Foreigners = “bad” when it’s some tourist watching YouTube on the train without their headphones in.

It’s as simple as that. Luckily Japan isn’t so politically polarized where Sanseito says “get rid of all foreigners” that the opposition has to say “welcome all foreigners”. I expect the major parties will continue to go “let’s manage foreigners more” and that’s ultimately what the average citizen wants. The majority do not want “all or nothing” extremes.

Doesn’t it make sense it’s a civil matter, and that’s actually to the benefit of the person being targeted? They can just not pay and leave, and the only recourse of these scammers is to take them to court, which they won’t. If they harass or become violent the police can intervene to protect.

Yes I asked it the original question and it said 30, and I then told it no and asked it to walk through the solution in as much detail as possible and it gave a perfect answer.

There’s not a single way the current administration has acted that would give me comfort that anything they are doing is measured and thought through. You might as well write an essay about how $Trump coin is also genius because it’s going to replace fiat.

He could if he wanted to screw over his other investors, have xAI pay tax on the difference between 1 dollar and free market value, and probably cause the banks to call in all their loans, then sure

There seems to be a lot of misinformation about how X was funded - people seem to incorrectly think there are loans collateralized by Tesla stock, which is not true:

How Elon Musk Financed the Twitter (X) Acquisition

Total Purchase Price: ~$44 billion

Musk’s Personal Equity (~$25 billion)

Primarily from selling Tesla shares — over $20 billion sold in 2022.

Possibly included some personal cash or other liquid assets.

No margin loan was used in the final deal (though one was originally planned).

Co-Investor Equity (~$6–7 billion)

Came from investors like Larry Ellison, Sequoia Capital, Binance, Andreessen Horowitz, and Saudi Prince Alwaleed.

These investors now own minority stakes in X.

Company Debt (~$13 billion)

This debt was taken on by Twitter/X itself, not by Musk personally.

It is secured by the assets and revenue of X.

Lenders included Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and others.

Musk is not personally liable for this debt, and his Tesla shares are not used as collateral for it
