  • I watched it during the first couple of months of 2020; it was insanely accurate and the soundtrack was intense like a super upgraded version of the background sounds of plague Inc.

    The most unrealistic part was the CDC actually doing their job and the government actually enforcing quarantine zones lol.

    Real kicker is the final scene. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone else, but it really hits you after living through Covid.

    tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.

    I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.

    People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).





  • I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.

    After wasting an hour before finding out you can’t disable the “sent from protonmail” footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.

    It’s receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.





  • Its funny because all these grand Japanese OEMs like Sony and Panasonic got undercut by Korean rivals like LG and Samsung in the 2000s, which forced Sony to move further into exclusively high priced devices and for many other OEMs to leave the US or global market.

    Now TCL and HiSense are undercutting the grand Korean OEMs, which is slowly forcing them out of the low-middle end market.

    I upgraded from a 20+ year old Phillips LCD to TCL’s QM8K, and the display technology for being a QLED panel is astounding. It looks 95% like a high quality OLED for a fraction of the cost.

    Only downside is Google TV (Junk Android that you have to debloat a bit) and for some reason the TV can’t passthrough Dolby Atmos from app players like Kodi, even though it can do DTS-X just fine. I’m pretty sure the second issue is just a software bug, but TCL has been taking ages to respond. Pass through from an external source works perfectly fine though.

    If you’re in the market, I highly recommend seeing it in person at a hardware/electronics store. The side by side comparison is insane.


  • That’s because that game requires mad skills with the stylus lol. It required ridiculous precision to make your shots, so most of us would resort to spamming dunks.

    But I had one friend who was actually good with shooting and could destroy anyone in multiplayer and was the only one who unlocked every character.

    The 4 player multiplayer was also fun because it was just item spamming with no hoops so you didn’t have to worry about shooting, passing, etc.
