Now that you mention it, I have had a lot better luck with Display Port than I have with HDMI - will have to go to a friend that has a high refresh monitor and test out my display port hub.

I'm typing on one of those right now and I can say 120Hz is RARE. Even in Safari, as I am now, it's not doing 120Hz. Yeah, the hardware is capable of it, but the software doesn't deliver - at least right now. So I'm wi

Will second this - for the money the BenQ panels are hard to beat. But I always seem to end up with Dell panels. I have an over six year old Dell U3011 32" 2560x1600 panel and other than not having variable refresh is still a great

Just get a USB-C/Thunderbolt HDMI adapter that supports 120Hz - like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Function-Resolution-Thunderbo... The nice thing about having expansion ports is you aren't restricted t

Good point. I think the real value of this story is not that this data is readily available, but that the government is also consuming it - which most people (rightly!) have a problem with. If that's the wake up call it takes to make

Time to go back to a non-connected Garmin GPS while in the car and slip my phone into a mesh bag when not in use :( So glad I don't own a newer car with a cellular modem built into it. Hope I can die and be buried with my current &quo

We've been doing stupid crap - like subsidizing corn production for ethanol - that seriously needs to end. The amount of government/market mismanagement and interference driven by special interests is beyond ridiculous. The rubbe

It wasn't data - it was an "example" of made up numbers. But you immediately assumed the numbers were based on something factual. Because it fit your biases? Was published in a text book? Doesn't matter - your post p

When 90% of the "content moderation" decisions lean towards one end of the political spectrum that's hardly a mere disagreement at the adjudication stage. The day Parlor was deplatformed - by all of big tech in an obviously c

Twitter is transparent in how they do shadow bans? They still deny they are a thing but it's clear to see the network effects of them. Twitter is transparent - that's the most hilarious thing I have read today!

I think the lack of content worthy of payment has pushed people back to piracy. Or pushed people to complacency. Indeed, I think Hollywood and other streaming providers are overly flattering themselves if they think piracy is why their numb

Is Boeing in space with SpaceX? Would VW even care about EVs without Tesla? Would they lie about them like they did their diesel emissions? lol - holding up VW as something to emulate! GM had a pretty good EV in the 80’s - then killed it.
