Remember the days before auto park? You would have to tell the drive to safely park the head before you could move it.

Are we including 3:2 pull down and frame doubling as interpolation?
183.
by thedougd 3y ago
Are they changing their interpolation settings based on source material? Some TVs will disable motion interpolation when they detect 24 frame rate content.

by thedougd 3y ago
Maybe some people can pick up on the fact that those extra frames aren't real more easily than others. Some innate sense thrown off by the interpolation. Motion interpolation gives me an uneasy feeling more than anything. For example,

Yes, and they even bought CA.

A killer feature would be a time series showing the rate of change from frame to frame. That would allow someone to jump to the more interesting parts of a video.

I’m having really great results with Frigate. Took me a while to figure out that low resolution sub streams should be used for object detection and the high resolution for recording. Also learned that go2rtc allows me to have one connection

I've been using a flat fee agent since 2012. $500 to list, $500 to close, but still have to pay the conventional 2.5-3% to the buyer's agent. Still a huge improvement.

I never saw much discussion as to why Capital One’s IAM role for their WAF gave broad access to a number of S3 buckets. That SSRF attack should have resulted in the exposure of the WAF logs, at worst. Who wrote the policy? Was it a centrali

Yes, it was covered everywhere all at once, after the event. The ex-filtration happened on May 27th through May 29th, and the vendor issued the alert on May 31st, after the wide-spread hacking. The Maine incident is not a new one, it too wa

Whose NOC was hacked? Or what does “thenoc” refer to? We’re talking about hundreds of organizations running MoveIt. Are they all culpable for not having threat intelligence better than disclosed vulnerabilities in COTS software? Or worse, i

I've investigated a number of MoveIT incidents and they're all looking about the same now. At this point, we should consider hosting a file transfer site a bad practice. These sites are usually used to transmit files between two o

Their integration with Google was terrible and last I used it only worked with Assistant and not Home. They’re dropping HomeKit and Google Assistant support now as well. So most customers won’t get what they want and will look elsewhere.

Yes they could push a firmware update and do whatever they want. Matter is also available over WiFi. Leviton is pushing new firmware to enable Matter on existing devices. Of course, a power user could block their Matter network from accessi

I went to my local Goodwill store looking for the final touches of my Halloween costume. I was disappointed to find the t-shirt bins were completely filled with tech company T-shirts, barely worn.

Yes, most of IBM charged you for coffee. And this is when they were still doing okay. The real gem was around 2010 when my location stopped picking up trash from offices and cubes. You had to dump your bin into the big one at the end of the

I’ve had success a few times with flat fee agents. $1000 to sell plus the buying agents 2.5-3%. Their argument was compelling, it’s not as much work to sell a house in the Internet age.

I use the Tuya based openers. They’re cheap and pretty good. I bet you could flash with esphome or other firmwares but I haven’t bothered.

My first CD-ROM drive used a printer parallel port. It worked well enough to run my first CD-ROM software purchase, Mad Dog McCree (1993). My PC was a microchannel PS/2 and it was difficult finding reasonably priced accessories.
