Or save your money and get a X90L and some bias lightning (ie. Medialight MK2 Flex). But at this time of year, I'd probably rather wait for 2024 models.

They are capable of displaying brighter whites and darker blacks, but not at the same time. :( Check the "starfield" test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVSQTHYZXD0&t=715 - the LG OLED TV shows all the stars

Right, I feel your pain, bilingual Android Auto sucks. I wouldn't use voice control to call someone (luckily there is a dedicated button on the steering wheel for that). But for other stuff (changing tracks or albums - "play xxx f

Or just push the button on your steering wheel and use voice control. You (mostly) do not have to touch the screen at all.

Yes, it's The Voices of Time by James Graham Ballard, 1930-2009 and it's a bit disturbing to be honest. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37663943

Yes, Samsung phones get two app stores by default - Google Play and Samsung.

Please notice that they do not say which year. :)

Yeah, it could supply 60W or even more. But it won't, because most people who care about this stuff set both the charging rate limit and max battery percentage limit in the phone's settings and don't worry about it anymore.

You can get one of those magnetic adapters if you worry about your USB-C port that much.

Isn't that the point of the article though? That they run everything on 48V?

FWIW, Amazon's Echo devices still seem to work just fine if you need a voice-controlled timer in your kitchen.

Not just the TPUs, also the people.

Samsung has been getting much better recently about the ability to uninstall apps that you don't really want or need. But it wasn't always like this. :(

Before and after, I'd hope. :)

Not just that. OLED TVs nowadays have a screensaver that kicks in when it detects stationary image for more than a few minutes. They also shift the image around by a few pixels to prevent logos and tickers from permanently marking the scree

Do it! I personally love the old Looney Toons, it makes them so smooth it's almost unreal (but in a good way).

Why? If you have a decent TV (hint: SONY), a little bit of motion interpolation can make stuff look amazing.

by imp0cat 3y ago
It's easy, but expensive. ;) Search for Digital Trends on youtube, they have a lot of videos about this. Their current "budget" pick seems to be the Sony Bravia X90L.

Yes, Sony TVs try to detect the original fps and display it accurately. https://www.reddit.com/r/bravia/comments/7ztuwv/what_is_moti...

They get dimmer as they age and might also develop "burn-in".

by imp0cat 3y ago
And you know what, you may both be right! Different TV's use different algorithms and tricks so what looks great on one, might look quite bad on another one.

by imp0cat 3y ago
Nowadays, TV sets can display a lot more that 60 fps (120, 144Hz sets are quite common).

It supposedly makes the content look more "just as the director intended". However, Samsung TVs are not exactly known for realistic colors. So turn up the eye candy and enjoy!

Well, an OLED will be pretty much dead after six years anyways. Also, you cat reset an old, slow TV, put it in "dumb" mode, then add something like a Vero V or another box.

We get those bike "boxes" - the first spot right next to the lights, that is reserved for cyclists - and they help a lot.

This. At least Zoom does it client side and only if your client is fast enough. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_arti...

Well, - frozen doors, LEDs failing, misaligned headlights, radar/camera cruise control suddenly braking for no reason - there are all pretty common and happen to all cars, not just Teslas.
