I know for a fact that they do a bunch of A/B testing at a time. The metrics they measure to decide if the change was effective isn't transparent. I wish there was a straightforward way but I imagine the "Send feedback"

For me the delay on the home screen is long enough that I don't do it accidentally. It happens when I search as well and it's really useful when seeing if it's what I am looking for. I appreciate that it's muted. I have

What more can I do if I own _the movie_ that I am not able to do after ripping the blu ray? DRM is as anti-consumer as Apple and Tesla's policy saying the owner of a product can't repair their own product. Having physical ownershi

I do appreciate that Dolby digital 5.1 has become more common as a standard release and don't require a remux download.

It works well but the more annoying issue is that UHD has hdr built in and tone mapping is still very much under development. It looks fine but, for example, can't use Dolby Vision directly. To get a complete experience, you need to ri

My flashed LG drive, the slim laptop case size one, had been working fine for me. I sometimes don't feel like streaming or want storage space temporarily and playback using VLC. Mine is an older manufacturing date though.

Honestly, putting aside the philosophical debate, I own something I have access to without limitation and without the ability of a third party to take it away from me. I own a book I can read whenever, wherever and however I want. I don&#x2

I might be remembering wrong, it might also need the HEVC windows 10 app. It is a paid app but mine came free with my laptop. I know the main thing is using the Movies and TV app. The DV app is called Dolby Vision Extensions app. https:&#

I am curious about the current state of playback of Dolby vision files. I know that the Nvidia shield tv can playback videos and there is the movies and tv windows app that can tone map to SDR if you download the Dolby experience app. But h

Torrenting a reencode seems reasonable but for some releases I liked buying the blu ray because my internet speed isn't great.

Thinkpad sold that model with 16gbs as an upgrade while buying the laptop at the time. SSDs needing to be upgraded has also been recommended since that time. And the processor update was simply maxing out the processor upgrade from that gen

This laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU and while I love my old thinkpad, a third generation i7 isn't powerful enough to do 4k h265 decoding and physically lacks any hardware acceleration for vp8, vp9 and both 8 and 10 bit h265.

There wasn't a moment in time where it was casual walking at exactly 2 miles per hour, I was simply describing an average if you consider the total distance over total time. I was also going up and down a lot of elevation and stairs on

The amount of calories burned is based on my intensity and amount of time spent doing the activity. It'd not about being athletic, it's about having endurance. I don't consider myself fit. But I think the day with my most ene

I bought a budget stationary bike and have an ant+ cadence and heart rate sensor and use Golden Cheetah to see the data live on my computer. I don't care much for power generated as long as I feel like I am exercising but it can be est

Happy new year HN. I am going to figure out new ways in which to apply myself in CS so I can move past the current slump I am in. Not sure if it's burnout I can't recover from or my interests changing as I grow.

My takeaway from this at an individual level is get a booster shot as soon as possible if you haven't already. Can we estimate the severity of this variant on an unvaccinated population based on the symptoms seen in the vaccinated?

I personally would argue that the HN community does a good job at applying the scientific method and question unsupported conclusions. I don't think it's about believing which side is right. Many subjective topics aren't popu

Popular HN story topics are pretty narrow when it comes to seeing the bigger picture of what's going on in the world. I don't check often but a quick way to see interesting topical news is seeing the trending tab on Twitter. It&#x

I agree with you that escapism with tech can be more than a bad habit and it can take your attention away from things that would be more productive in the long term. However I don't know if I agree that it's a compulsion the way y

I think how many stars a github repo that you created or are a major contributor of is an interesting tech flair these days. Being a early/top adopter/contributor on places like stack exchange and reddit is good too. It's pro

Staring at a phone doing what? Swiping to refresh on social media for hours and hours at a time? Using a phone is like going to the library, what you do there is what actually matters. Checking social media can be thought of as asking a lib

I think we stopped talking about it because most people realized that it's not a proper application of the word addiction. Adapting to the changing times doesn't make people ignorant. I dislike how when certain groundbreaking chan

I would give you more credit and say the landscape of how content and news is delivered has changed. Many articles are written in a way to generate engagement first and then inform. I don't feel bad about not wasting time on clickbait

I strongly dislike the continued push to categorize bad habits using technology as an addiction. Addiction is not a description of a behavior that you think is bad and wish to change. Addiction is life damaging compulsive action that you wi
