they aren’t, except perhaps as a counterexample of some dubious sort

don’t worry, they’ll tell you all about it

yeah well HP, fuck you too

lower visual noise of modern movies and series also helps a lot

and you’re so happy you can just mash one single button and your favourite track, game or series starts to play.

yes, that’s why I pay for some things and pirate others, because for me pirating is often significantly easier and less time consuming than paying

participating in a community ≠ making it a lifestyle

yep, sure did: https://old.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/5uw5cs

oh it would for simple graphics like graphs/charts, but it’d be worse than useless for everything else like pictures / photos / video. That’s why I mentioned Overwatch as the example, which was the most egregious offender of this. If you turned on the colorblind mode in that game back when it was first introduced, it just chroma hue shifted all colors making it look like this:

how anyone with a functioning eye and brain ever thought that was the solution is beyond me

best they can do for those, is to offer such filters

well I’m sure some people will find it useful, but in my experience global filters make a global mess of everything without doing much of anything to alleviate the problem. Lucky for people like me, many games already have better options, and in other applications it usually isn’t much of a problem

yeah those ones, they completely mess up all colors and still don’t help

if this changes all colors with a global filter the way that some games like Overwatch (used to) do, then it’s really not going to help anyone. I’m red-green colorblind, so when something is highlighted in red it isn’t as obvious to me as it is to people with normal vision. However, the fix isn’t too globally mess with all the colors, the fix is to let me pick the highlight color so that I can choose what works best for me. Many games have figured this out long ago (thank you game devs!).

You just made an enemy for life!

I’m not arguing that, it’s definitely very debatable if it’s ever going to have some practical use outside of its current speculative one. That doesn’t make it a scam tho

many are yes, but not all. Bitcoin and Ethereum (among others) are legit, and there are a few NFT projects out there that actually try to do the right thing even if they’re not worth much at all. Many other NFTs are nothing but pictures that have no meaningful value except what you assign it to, but they never pretended to be anything else so that’s still not a scam in my book

not a good look, Linus. If he were actually serious about handling mistakes and issues head-on, none of this would’ve happened because he would’ve publicly corrected his employee when he claimed their testing methods are superior to others’

I work with a random jumble of windows on a single desktop, it’s about as effective as you’d think

you gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket

ah the ol’ fargo special

Yep, as far as I know, at this time the Nvidia shield pro is the best for playing pirated content, either directly or streaming. It does all the audio and video standards you need (including Dolby Vision) and has enough power to do it without stuttering (with the right player)

DV remux hybrids are pretty damn cool
