Bruh I never made the connection that this was happening this explains so much

The monitor calibration tool on macOS does not support HDR properly, resulting in severe miscalibration.

Also while writing this post I realized “miscalibration” is not in iOS’s spellcheck dictionary lol.

Also Apple doesn’t fully support high refresh rate displays. My current display Apple supports as 100Hz when on Linux and Windows I can run it as 120Hz or 144Hz.

(M2 Mac Mini running 15.3.2)

External monitor is connected via thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable. It’s connected to my Windows/Linux computer via DisplayPort cable directly to the GPU.

This is a depiction of why Kaladin can’t quite save all of Bridge 4 in The Way of Kings.

• a tool for backing up offline installers

This really should be something they offer for free, and there are already some FOSS options that do this, although they aren’t as good as I’d like.

• ability to install previous versions of a game

This is a feature they already have for free and there would (or at least should) be backlash if they were to lock that behind a subscription

• extra insight into the preservation work they're doing.

Sure, neat.

• voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

Sure but said votes better have an actual impact.

Sleeve of saltines, some slices of cheese, and a side of grapes is actually so refreshing

Grab a box full and test a bunch until you find one that works well for your use case. That way you end up with a resistor that’s much better than the rated tolerance you’d get if you just grabbed one resistor at random.

Lego quality is still good but has noticeably degraded over the years.

Doesn’t address the main advantages physical games have over digital sharing. I’ll be interested once they have features that let me “switch cartridges” with a friend offline, or let me sell or gift my virtual cartridge to a stranger.

The Lost crown will be available to try for free, before the full game can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase.

Doesn’t sound like it thankfully.

And the entertainment systems crash and bug out all the time so I sure hope the more important systems are developed more thoroughly lol

They wanted 3 documents. There was a typo in the copy of my lease I was able to get (previous year) so I couldn’t use that. I was sharing a phone plan and it was under someone else’s name. Electricity and internet were included in rent.

Split it into multiple credit cards. I had a similarly very large expense recently, and I have 3 credit cards. I asked each for a credit limit increase, and took what I could get (none of them gave me what I requested, but all of them gave me some increase). Then I split the cost over all 3 cards.

Yo I miss all the great in-browser shockwave games

Most of what you mentioned here just requires an SSN or TIN which is easier to get than a drivers license or Real ID.

It’s not that easy to get a Real ID. I struggled to get one because I’ve been moving a lot lately and they require a bunch of documents pointing to the same residential address. I was only able to get one after I settled down long enough to meet that requirement.

I’ve used multiprocessing to squeeze more performance out of numpy and scipy. But yeah, resorting to multiprocessing is a sign that you should be dropping into something like Rust or a C variant.

Of the ways you listed the only one that will actually take advantage of a multi core CPU is multiprocessing

Wait hasn’t DDG been the default in Safari for a few years now?

They have some really small ones that only require like 1GB of VRAM, but you’ll generally get better results if you pick the biggest model that fits on your GPU.

I meant the productivity suite not just file sharing. I edited my comment to try to make it clearer.
