Does the 1080p resolution show up if you go to Advanced > Show Resolutions as List and then tick "Show all resolutions" under the list? The resolution you are looking for is probably 1920 x 1080 (low resolution). If you choose

On mine, Apple TV+ (the official app as well as Safari) will refuse to play 4K through a similar adapter (VMM7100) on an OLED C2 42 from Cable Matters with the latest 120Hz supporting firmware. I assume it is because HDCP is broken. It work

The Google Nest Audio speakers are kind of a special case. They only sound good because they use a sealed, extremely rigid cast aluminum sealed enclosure with a high excursion driver. The performance of these speakers with a regular crossov

The YouTube link that starts with RJUvNV, titled "(a). sip" IMO, the first track is a banger (I really like it), and it doesn't sound obviously AI. The second track is more obviously AI, mostly due to the high frequency &quot

I remember this from a few years ago, when I requested the code for this from Charlie Miller on Twitter/X (he replied with a link to the code on archive.org). I was trying to use it to fix a MacBook battery, before I realized the cells

Interestingly enough, this particular question has been tested by Rtings [1] They found that during their tests, inverters which continuously varied the power did not necessarily lead to more even heating, but they do note that small quanti

FWIW, if this was somewhat recent, Gamers Nexus recently did a segment [1] on ASUS' warranty support and practices, and they say that they are making some improvements to the way warranty support is being handled. They claim that they

The precursor to these features was the "Audio/AirPods Accessibility" settings as "Custom Transparency Mode"). When I last tried them, some settings seemed to process the audio in the "control plane" (as o

Unless they changed something, in Canada I was able to try the AirPods Pro and the Pro 2 in store. They sanitize them between customers (IMO, not very well) with alcohol wipes. You just go in and ask someone to try them out.

I've been playing with Cursor (albeit with a very small toy codebase) and it does seem like it could do some of what you said - it has a number of features, not all of which necessarily generate code. You can ask questions about the co

So apparently this is actually configurable, but it's either on or off, and it's set to one minute by default (either 1 minute or no shutdown, no inbetween). The command in question is ```bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootshutdowndi

The BitLocker thing is definitely a problem. On Apple systems which have a similar FDE system, the preboot environment will shut the machine down if the page is left open for too long. The CPU/GPU (if present) are in a pre-power-manage

Is there any application of "Modern Standby" that is actually delivering significant value to customers somewhere? A lot of the theoretical benefits of it, IMO, have been relatively theoretical. Perhaps Windows updates, but the co

The problem with having standards for this kind of thing is that different units have different needs for communication and different levels of being smart. For example, some units want 2 temperature sensors and some want 3. The method used

Just as a data point for those in Canada (maybe US, but I'm not sure if it's the same company), I have a Senville unit, bought from their website, and they sent a replacement plastic (yes, it's a plastic bead in a piece of ru

Would also recommend trimming the silence off of the beginning of the video and show b-roll in the background while introducing the functionality of the app.

Seems like the popular (?) "Grokking the Coding Interview" course is sold through them. This was commonly recommended on sites like Blind. The content of the course appears to be widely distributed for free elsewhere on the intern

I have the unfortunate "habit" of writing in the style of chatgpt, even before chatgpt existed. So no, not a chatgpt comment.

Most of these built-in fridges have some (non-obvious) method to remove them from the wall fairly easily. Typically, built in fridges are mounted using a couple screws (check the manual) to the underside of the top cabinetry, and are simply

Dangerous goods shipping is about to get *even harder* than it already is... If I were to take a random guess, this had something to do with some dangerous goods being packed improperly or some other freak accident like that.

I wish the device had a camera tbh. It doesn't have to be a great camera tbh, but I think having the ability to take pictures of documents and scan stuff in is quite important.

I think that both sides (SW and HW) can learn to coexist better, and tbh, there is really a necessity for them to. The reality is that the reason software is currently the top industry/value creator when it comes to revenue is an artif

Do you actually have an example of something like this actually happening? From what I can tell, at least in Canada, absolutely nothing from China I've bought has ever even been opened for inspection, and it's all tagged as a gift

There are plenty of products which ought to be certified but are not, and plenty of products that probably do not need to be that are. This is across large and small companies, so I'm going to take a guess and say that in the AliExpres

Well fortunately, there is a setting that you can use to do "chain printing" where if you have a number of labels to print, it simply won't cut the last one it prints, and then you can send another job to the printer and it&#

The technology shown here is great - but I think the problem with most open-source voice assistants is that the voices just don't sound as good as the commercial ones. This one in particular appears to have a mixed accent and I'd

Unfortunately they do not mention MacBooks, which are also affected by the calibration issue. Unlike on iPhones, replacing the screen without soldering the old IC to the new one will make the display unusable with blotches (software issue -

I've got an example of this: Some Blackpink songs (cannot remember which ones, possibly Playing With Fire or DDU-DDU-DDU) were mastered and released on Spotify/iTunes [unsure if has been removed now] with a 18-19kHz carrier tone (
