  • I don’t know how to feel about this.

    On the one hand, it’s cool that they pushed old electronics way beyond the known limits, but on the other hand is 120p really an accomplishment?

    Even my old Commodore 64 from 1982 was able to produce around 400p when pushed to the limit (I know progressive wasn’t thing on tvs then. I’m simplifying things to not end up on a side quest here). The norm was 200p and exploring how far the electronics could go in that resolution would be far more interesting in my opinion.

    If we’re just focusing on framerate, I’m pretty sure it would be possible to reach over the kHz limit with 1p.

    Essentially it would be possible to run 1p led-aray at 1MHz or more…


  • Google has worked hard to break up Microsoft’s monopoly and Windows-Office lock in effect. The way Google designed Android and the eco system around it pushed out the model where you fully own your device. (“own” as in be in full control of what you bought).

    Nowadays people are used to get things for the price of their personal data and/or spending half of the time using their device by watching ads.

    As I see it, Microsoft has just adjusted their offering on the consumer market to what people are used to today.



  • I’m openly critical against the whole NATO thing and DSA but you’re just being silly, ignorant, a troll or all of the above.

    I’d rather be a part of the Western military industrial complex than being Ukraine since 2014.

    If Russia just could stop aspiring to be the premier asshole of the northern hemisphere, Sweden would still be “neutral” and democratic neighbors of Russia wouldn’t be forced to put huge amounts of tax money into arms instead of healthcare.

    Russia essentially attacked the guy sitting next to them on the bus because they felt the guy was sitting too close.

    Of course everyone on the bus gets scared of the idiot attacking people!











  • I’m not a professional and not living in the US.

    1. Get a Wood Moisture Meter and check everything. If the wood contains more water than it should you have an ongoing problem and there is ongoing microbiological growth.
    2. Some of the Black / Dark parts look like fungus. (In Swedish “svartmögel” which is directly translated to “black mould”). That shit can cause allergies and worse shit.

    All in all: get a professional to check this. I’m Sweden we have “building inspectors” that are experts in leakage and mold that checks this for you.
