He wanted to write about more than just one video game

I had no idea he killed himself

It definitely depends on the application but my instructor showed it to us in training and I replicated it for a tech who wasn’t there later

There’s also two minimums, one for how much it can bend before the fiber breaks and one (much larger) radius for peak operation. A knot causes optical loss but it still works

Instead, they’re trying to force everything to USB with DP Alt mode which has a ton of the same annoyances…but at least USB C is flippable I guess.

HDMI 2.1 cables have 19 wires and USB 3.2 has 13 or 14 (can’t remember) so they’re really finicky and fragile. Fiber has 1 or 2 and is VERY rugged in comparison…you can literally tie a knot in a fiber cable and it’ll still work.

Plus with fiber, if your AVR blows up, it can’t take the other equipment out with it since it’s electrically isolated.

Fiber is also cheap cheap cheap!

Fiber is thin and easy to route.

Fiber can ALSO be shortened, extended, etc. in the field.

The only downside is the cost of the splicing tools (and the cleanliness required)

And I guess SFP connectors are pretty gnarly. But if it was aimed at consumers, they could slap a nice rubberized coat on it…

Man, I love fiber.

Well yeah if you get a toddler hooked on sugar, they’ll do that lol

Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?

How do you tell someone the country they’ve loved for 50 years is harboring a growing faction that wishes he’d never come?

“The guy you voted for doesn’t like you because of where you came from”

So don’t watch it. Problem solved lol

If you think he made it long because that “equals good content” you are either unfamiliar with Rossmann, not the target audience, or simply delusional

You’re telling me. I work in pro AV/networking and have to worry about DRM and HDCP handshakes all day.

Fair enough on my analogy being bad. Your second one is much better but I think it would be more accurate to modify it to “not being able to play a triple A game because you use Linux and the anticheat won’t run.”

My company orders a thousand TVs a month and we’ve dropped Samsung all together unless a client specifically requests it. I hated them when I was an installer (terrible to mount and configure, especially the Frame TVs) and now I hate them on the pre-sales side of things.

We looked into LG but they’re kind of a pain to get quotes from.

We default to Sony now.

Isn’t it more like buying a 4K texture pack dlc for a game and finding out your GTX 1070 can’t run it? The problem here seems to be getting max settings on unsupported hardware.

I think Netflix sucks and that OP should get a refund…but I also think Netflix provided what was paid for

They had totally different goals? And neither were left

Both her and her husband’s wiki page are full of bad stuff happening so I get it

I’ll include you both when I post this to my Lemmy community on Tumblr!

That’s good. I wanted to call them “useless red circles” in my comment but I didn’t know if anyone would get what I meant

She met her husband when she was 16 and he was 21 so… kinda but I don’t think it’s quite as creepy as “grooming” typically implies given the time period. At least he wasn’t 45

I had to look this up and it’s (kinda) true. I thought his heart was removed in preparation for embalming or something but no -

Her husband drowned and his body was found 10 days later. They build a makeshift crematory and burned it on the beach, turning everything to ash except a few pieces of bone and a chunk of… something. Probably not a calcified heart.

People nowadays don’t think a brittle calcium heart shell could have survived cremation and think it was much more likely to be his liver (which was saturated in salt water).

Mary and others at the time thought it was his heart so it doesn’t change the story at all. Just thought others might be interested, too

What’s the deal with Tumblr screenshots always including replies that add nothing to the humor lol

I asked my math teacher when I would ever use [whatever we were learning at the time] and his answer stuck with me.

“It’s not about learning how to [thing], it’s about learning to solve a problem in a new way”

I regret not taking it to heart in school but I try to remind myself of that when I “waste” a night working on something “useless” - you learn a lot more than the solution while solving a problem
