  • Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'

  • Check out the next evolution, PeLED or PeNC. Perovskite LED or Perovskite Nano Crystal.

    Should oulast LED 3x+, better brightness, better contrast, way better refresh rates with less ghosting, smaller pixel/higher density, etc.

  • I mean, the way the tech salaries have been dropping the last few years, can you blame the people giving into the bribes?

  • Well, yes and no. h.265 (HEVC) made it far better for UHD streaming to an extent. Around half the bandwidth of h.264 but 4x more pixels, so you only go up 2x bandwidth.

    Now we have .AV1 and h.266 (VCC) formats which need adoption first before we can really push 8K/UHD content. Again, not 100% accurate, but around 3-5x bandwidth of h.264 but is ~15x pixels.

    We've come a long way!

  • That's kind of what I'm getting at. Once you hit a certain size, it only makes sense to have a certain resolution. I know jumping from 65" to 85" made all my Plex content "blurry" bc it wasn't good enough quality/bitrate. Reripping BD and 4K BD used h.265 and 12-15GB/hr per UHD file was way better!

    Idk what 8K looks like, but for those new 98"+ displays, I wouldn't go any bigger unless 8K. 42-50" Max FHD, I would say 85" Max UHD. You can't really sit any further in a LR, so being that close I'd want it that way. Plus, it'd require the faster refresh rate to not look so bad moving over that much surface area.

    I'm just excited for PeLED or PeNC (Perovskite LED / Nano Crystal). 😎🤯 sorry, off topic...

  • To add... It would only matter in large format displays anyway. Pixel density is only going to matter so much.

    I remember when Sharp put out their Aquos 70" FHD TV and I thought, "eww, so grainy"! But now I've got a 85" UHD with the same density as a 42" FHD which helps with clarity since my viewing distance hadn't really changed (10ft).

    FPS is great and all, but not when most content is 24fps-60fps. 120 is an awesome sweet spot for 24fps content since its 5hz per frame.

    IMO UHD still has room for growth and adoption before another tech hits. Not to mention the financial strains everyone's in due to the fucking billionaire squeeze... And they wonder why people are tight on money?! Fucking idiots!

  • It would be a crazy marketing stunt for any of the privacy focused email service companies stated that Jeffery Epstein and others could have kept their secrets if they had used their service.

    I chuckle and die a little when the CGPT bois trash Copilot, but lie, when it was nonprofit MS was funding a lot of the research so that's their backend.

  • Apparently I'm more than noob level 😅 every time I try to get to Traccar, I get my gateway's landing page.

    Regular Traccar uses port 8082 for the web and 5055 for app. I cannot get that either through domain (gateway) or lan IP (yunohost)

    Normally I'd go 1.2.3.4:8082 (not my real lan IP) but Yuno seems to ignore that.

    I'll do some more digging when I get home, I'm at work with broken concentration

  • I don't follow this stuff much, but I'll tell you one thing:

    There's a huge void following his arrest and untimely death, so who's there picking up where he left off? Like the Sinaloa cartel situation. Now that tech has gotten better with encryption and the scapegoat is gone, how much worse do you think it is now than before?

    Personally, IMO there are waaay more tech magnates with vastly disposable income. You can put the puzzle pieces together.

    Microsoft says it's going to focus on the things that matter for Windows 11, such as improving performance

    Jump

  • Sad that Windows 8/8.1 Pro x64 ran perfectly fine on 4GB RAM. Now 16GB RAM feels like 2GB used to. So much bloat, you can't hardly strip it down. I think I will boot a w8 vm and make note of services, and start mimicking those on w11 and start blocking anything that isn't absolutely necessary!

  • Thank God my company is so antiquated they don't even know about half the tech that exists to spy on employees. Thankfully I'm also head of IT so imma keep them in the dark about that loll. Every time I upgrade the simplest things it's like I've shit out actual magic. It's great!
