Also note that the HDMI Forum refuses to allow AMD to make an open source implementation of HDMI 2.1 in their drivers for this reason.

Awesome. I find it so ironic that the main thing tempting me to buy to a high resolution high framerate monitor is the desire to better emulate a low resolution low frame rate CRT.

Exactly this. The last of my projects recently moved off of RHEL7, and I am ecstatic that I have a new enough version of vim to use LSP everywhere. I know how to navigate code and documentation manually. I know how to cobble together a poor

Pillow style tea bags are fully enclosed paper tea bags with no string or tags, and have a crimp around the rim. I never thought about them using glue, but it makes sense. Some brands I know of that use them are Taylors of Harrogate, Celest

Growing up, paper cups were all coated in wax, but I can't remember the last time I'd seen one coated in wax in the US, it's been at least a decade. Back then I remember being cautioned against using paper cups for hot drinks

I'm not a chemist, but skimming the paper it certainly sounds like the cellulose itself is what they are measuring: > Following, ATR-FTIR analysis was performed in the teabags as well as in the leached mixture of nanoparticles plus

Also worth noting that today's rules, 89 FR 7456, and the previous one, 89 FR 103054, both derived from the same NPRM. Apparently, based on feedback they thought some parts of the rules needed more work than others and finalized them i

In this case though, the griefers don't have to file a lawsuit themselves, they just have to post harmful material and file complaints. That is a much lower threshold. It is less effort than the sorts of harassment these people already

I don't think there is any plan to replace or even supplement ELisp with Guile Scheme. Guile is a language, but it is also a compiler and runtime. The later two have been intentionally designed such that different language front ends c

What was the purpose of this clemency grant? I know it is something about people who were granted home arrest during covid, but I don't follow why that group of people was selected as deserving clemency, as opposed to say people who wh

I've heard the opposite, that wood has anti-microbial properties that results in less cross contamination than plastic, even though it is harder to sterilize. For example, here is one study on cutting boards[1]. [1] https://p

Probably not. Combatting unsolicited calls has always had broad bipartisan support. The law that this action is based on was passed in 2019 during Trump's first term, and the regulations in 2020 by a Republican controlled FCC.

CRT emulation only looks good on 4K monitors or higher. Below that, the effects end up exaggerated because there just aren't enough pixels to implement them at the right scale. Furthermore, if you want to preserve the correct aspect ra

Even for geostationary you still need to gain a ton of horizontal velocity, more than LEO. You are staying over the same spot on the earth, but the earth is rotating and you need to match that same angular velocity. Being at a higher altitu

I found out after our solar system was installed that the enphase inverter came with a cell modem for monitoring and remote management. Our installers didn't know how or even if it was possible to configure the system without one.

My understanding is that this confidence value is not a measure of how likely something is correct/true, but more along the lines of how likely that sentence would be. Including it could be more misleading than helpful, for example if

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that package. I'll try it out. It should definitely be added to the default install once the devs are satisfied that it is stable.

Yes, a built-in updater would absolutely be my vote. The OpenWRT device knows exactly which firmware build it needs, so having it download the update directly would be much faster and less error prone than having me do it. I'd still p
