120 Hz vs 60 Hz? Night and day. Immediately noticeable just by moving the mouse pointer. Would expect improvements in scrolling to be apparent to even the most casual passers-by. 120 Hz can also noticeably improve frame pacing for 24p video

Reminds me of how, whenever I see a comment on an Internet forum where someone writes "u" and "ur" for "you" and "you are", I naturally read it phonetically as "ooh" and "urr", and

Beverages and pet food combined make up almost half of Nestlé's sales, with chocolate at around 7.6%. But I certainly wouldn't consider almost $9 billion in chocolate sales per year a rounding error.

Given Office 365 and day-one Game Pass release of all first-party titles, I don't think you need a tinfoil hat to imagine this. I suspect lingering antitrust concerns are one of the few things standing in the way of locking consumer Wi

Depends on the implementation. Most I/O calls return errors when reads or writes fail, but NFS, for example, would traditionally block on network errors by default — you probably don't want your entire lab full of diskless worksta

My immediate reaction to this is that the OS has a hard time establishing intent, and in some cases it probably should be this hard to delete data that's required for the system to boot on the grounds that you'd probably want it

Sure, and probably no worse for the world at large, or for the majority of Iranians. An improvement over the current regime isn't exactly a high bar. Even speaking as a someone who generally detests the policies of both Trump and the c

To the extent that they're actually effective, I agree. Trouble is, higher-ups are easily replaceable, and the rank-and-file True Believers may be even more willing to follow orders in the name of a dead tyrant than a living one. Or no

It also allows any one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, including the US, to unilateraly veto any binding resolution that imposes sanctions for violating said law, with no established rules or even informal expectat

I'm opposed to the death penalty as well, but this has nothing to do with why I'd prefer despots be left to live in obscurity rather than die a relatively quick, painless, and public death. Sentence them to live alone and anonymou

Fomenting a coup is very different than toppling a regime through military force. My biggest concern has always been that US military action against Iran would undermine domestic factions pushing for democratic reforms, at best leading to t

You can get a free subscription to a single Twitch channel per month with Prime. Twitch Turbo is site wide. IIRC other Twitch Prime benefits (free games, DLC, etc.) were rolled in to the Amazon Gaming brand, and more recently Luna.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Palme d'Or at Cannes, three Oscar nominations including Best Picture (which, amusingly, it lost to The Godfather Part II ). Great movie.

While I probably haven't played either in a decade, I bring sol.exe and winmine.exe on general principle, as both had their "Copilot in Notepad" shark-jumping moments all the way back in Windows 8 with the introduction of ach

120 Hz is around the point where I'd start to consider frame generation in the first place, assuming everything else in the system is optimized for minimal latency. At 100 Hz or less, I've yet to experience frame generation in any

Probably just due to the fact that nothing in the standard C language maps to the x86 IN and OUT instructions for reading and writing I/O ports, though MS-DOS-era compilers supplied macros or library functions to use them ( inp , inpw

This was true for the 10-digit CD keys Microsoft used for many products in the 90s: the first three digits could be almost anything, and the last seven digits had to sum to a multiple of 7, so, e.g., 111-1111111 was a valid product key (f

Yes. I get about 5 ms latency on my 2024 LG OLED (a bit more at 120 Hz, a bit less at 144 Hz). But there are other sources of latency that stack.

I also have a hard time letting go of expensive cables merely because they were expensive. For this reason, I probably have as many parallel SCSI cables as I do USB cables, despite not having used a parallel SCSI device in years, including

I've never had a problem with the basic 4-cell chargers that Panasonic includes with their Eneloop starter kits, other than the mildly annoying fact that they cover more than a single plug on a power strip. Build quality seems fine, an

I somes subconsciously correct typos even when not looking at them. It drives me crazy when UI design breaks this, like fixed-length security code / PIN entry UIs that automatically submit when you enter the last character of the code.
