I turned this off on my TV and was just like...wow! So much better!
From what I could tell, my TV was taking a perfect 1920x1080 signal, and instead of perfectly stretching it to 4K (4 pixels on the screen for every pixel in the input), it was first cropping the edges, then stretching.
This results in clean lines in the input becoming more "fuzzy" on the screen, which a very slight zoom effect.
It's maddening and I can't understand why it would be the default. Across my HDMI sources, TV apps, and live TV, none of these signals need any cropping. They fit perfectly with my settings.
I just hope all the people who "don't get the flu vaccine because they never get the flu" will actually start getting vaccinated.
To those people, odds are you don't get the flu because enough people around you did get vaccinated. And also, you're just getting lucky. You may have a better immune system than average, but you are not immune.
It's a serious matter, yet people just brushed it off and came in to work/school sick as a dog. Heck, I remember having to do this with colds in elementary school... It was either: I show up horribly sick, or my grades must suffer. (No, there was no way out of it. Simply punish those trying to protect their community from themselves. Zero tolerance for real life.)
The thing is, that infrastructure already prepared yearly for the flu. They have capacity designed around it. It is "normal" for thousands to die from the flu yearly, and nobody says anything. (Except that you should obviously be vaccinated.)
I don't understand, when I buy a processor I expect it to work 100% load for all of the instruction set. Anything less is a defective product, and should be returned.
Furthermore, it should be able to do this 24/7 for years at a time.
This test, assuming it actually does kill the processor or stops executing, clearly indicates it should be returned.
Is it possible that tinnitus is actually just a person's inability to ignore natural noise in the hearing systems? More of a physchological issue like chewing fingernails or having OCD, but which can be amplified by legitimate physical hearing damage?
I ask this because for all the life I can remember, I've always been able to perceive a high-pitched tone, even in completely quiet environments. If I actually focus on it, it's quite loud and annoying.
It's just that my "default state" is to not think or notice this tone, and instead focus on "actual" sounds.
I wish I had something written up to share. But it's honestly a mix of things I love to play with. Several full blockchain nodes (especially uploading to light clients), bittorrent client (seeding tons), plex, home assistant, boinc, tor bridge, grafana, web and email servers, zoneminder CCTV, mandelbulber (clustered rendering of 3d fractals), four different Minecraft servers (some modded), ADS-B plane tracking, weather station and radiation monitoring, and a bunch more.
It's really just one big toy for me. I'm using Proxmox for high availability of over 30 VM's (still want to play with containers soon).
EDIT: OPNSense firewall says I uploaded over 15TB in the last month. Fortunately Google fiber doesn't care!
"...he clammed up, taking the Fifth, and citing constitutional rights against unwarranted searches.
...border agents told him he had no constitutional nor any legal protections, and threatened him with criminal charges should he not concede to the search.
...he was eventually allowed to leave with his belongings, the devices still locked, and no charges were pressed."
My goodness! I guess those protections did exit after all! :)
Guidelines:
-Goons can lie to you all they want. Never budge.
-Politely refuse, and remain cordial. Stay strong mentally.
-Make sure your devices are turned off prior to even leaving for the airport.
