(Author here.) That's an interesting point you mention about not seeing it, because prior to buying an OLED I'd read a bunch about fringing and in many articles I just... couldn't see it. I couldn't tell what was being i

Yep -- you've got it exactly. macOS and no Cleartype. Had I been using this on Windows I would have started to solve it by trying to tune that.

(Author here.) I actually am using it, but I didn't want to go down the rabbithole of an all-encompassing article on displays, PPI, scaling, etc. Using it to scale the display really helps, but I find that for the size of things I like

Those do show the best example, yes. And best to photograph. But it's also noticeable on any high contrast edge or a fine line, like a drawing in Autodesk Fusion (CAD software) or just the lines between spreadsheets. And no, no Clearty

Yep -- it's an IPS LCD. And based on the failure more (here's a video of it [1]) with a vertical bar dark and the whole screen blinking when large white sections are displayed, I believe it's likely a power supply problem, ma

This article is about a machine running macOS. Nothing to do with Cleartype in here at all.

by c0nsumer 9mo ago
Author here. There is no Cleartype; this is macOS. And as mentioned I couldn't see the fringing from normal use, that only became evident with macro photos. During normal use it just looked sparkly or weird or artifacted. And yes, the

On Windows, certificates can also be stored in the TPM.

Many, many more devices here... And good/typical enterprise level hardware... And failing TPMs are just something that happen. It's pretty expected these days. And on Windows when it causes a loss of certificates, it's actual

This is pretty neat, but is what you pictured the final product? It doesn't strike me as sufficiently robust for deployment. More like an engineering concept...

Thanks for explaining that; that makes sense. I still don't /like/ it because it seems I'll need to add in some sort of 0.001mm overlap into the code if I want to ensure this doesn't become a problem. And this feels

The last release was 2021.01 but the GitHub repo seems to be recently updated. So I'd say... Maybe? That said, there are often times software gets so stable that not having a new release for years is fine. Maybe this is one of them? (I

This is really neat, but it bugs me that the screen isn't centered on the keyboard.

I regularly see pallets of laptops turned in (either due to refreshes or end-of-employment stuff) for a major manufacturing / engineering (car) company. They are just as stickered, but with automotive nerdery. It's pretty neat. An

Ahh! Thanks for that... Yep, was it. I should have had more coffee before replying. Sorry!

Can you add wider channel width for wireless network captures? Your tool only offers 20 MHz and 40 MHz, but wdutil also offers 80 MHz and 160 MHz.

I'm with JKCaloun on having owned music for as long as I can remember. From the late 90s until the early 2010s I routinely bought CDs and ended up with a library of... 1200 or 1600 or so? A bunch of years back I made a concerted effort

I'm regularly asked by coworkers why I don't run my writing through AI tools to clean it up and instead spend a time iterating over it, re-reading, perhaps with a basic spell checker and maybe grammar check. That's because, f

It supports ETW as an input format, but I (personally) haven't yet gotten my head around how to do the same. My current worflow is capture with pktmon, then analysis in Microsoft Network Monitor to expose PID stuff. I figure there &#x2

Don't forget the one about how it's safer to be thrown free of a wreck (which will happen if you don't wear your seatbelt) than remain in the car. <sigh>

Yes they were. IDE stands for Integrated Drive Electronics because the drive could be connected directly to the ISA bus, using an on-board controller, vs. having to use an MFM or RLL controller on the bus in between it and the disk.

Funny, I did the same... Never looked back at Unifi. That was a constant fight with problems. OPNsense, a cheap fanless Brocade switch, and two Ruckus enterprise-grade APs from eBay and boom. Stuff Just Works, and when I want to do anything
