Windows is rooted by design, and that's completely fine by everyone and their dog

root allows system-wide adblocking. thus more privacy, not less privacy

all that to be locked out of anything higher than 720p if you dare use a privacy friendly operating system 😂 right, I'll be holding onto my money then

the ability to use two Bluetooth dongles simultaneously, each for one device. try that on Microsoft's clown os and see how pressing the gamepad triggers makes the bluetooth headphones chop up the sound 😂

i started with Ubuntu. i think it's fair to respect the distro that works towards getting any rando started

i had a terrible experience too but this is with laptop mind you.

since people are often saying nvidia is just fine I'm starting to believe my problem is the mux switching and not even the gpu itself... but since I'm not an expert i can't be sure...

🤭 oh my, i bet the only possible solution is to replace the location log file ending (.txt) with .jpg to confuse the evil hackers

Hey y'all, I bought a x4x4x4x4 4 slots M.2 PCIe card foolishly thinking that if it fits in the slot, it would surely work. In the end, I got 2 of the 4 SSDs working on my old AM4 X470 chipset. I'm coming to you for advice what the cheapest way to get to use this would be. I've noticed that a lot of CPUs have a PCIe lane limitation of 28, just short of what I need (I'd like to run the SSDs but also a x16 GPU). I'm not too keen to buy a threadripper setup for this occasion...

Cheers!

HDR Confusion (lemy.lol)

Hey fellas, could you help me understand a bit more about HDR?

  • I understand that it's an absolute brightness standard, not like the relative levels in SDR
  • But why does it end up washing out colors unless I amplify them in kwin? Is just the brightness absolute in nits, but not the color?
  • Why does my screen block the brightness control in HDR mode but not contrast? And why does the contrast increase the brightness of highlights, instead of just split midtones towards brighter and darker shades?
  • Why is truehdr400 supposed to be better in dark rooms than peak1000 mode?
  • Why is my average emission capped at 270nits, that seems ridiculously low even for normal SDR screens as comparison.

Cheers 😊
