Sound like every medical professional I’ve spoken too, lol. Appreciate the effort.

Yep.

All doctors do is shrug and say its weird but normal.

I’d wager that people who have linux and are plugging in TVs to run at 4k 120 are probably also not significantly in the majority.

i mean, sure, do it, we deserve to have feature parity with windows, but its not a problem that is affecting the masses.

Problem for me is I dont have anxiety problems.

I have “Oh my fucking god, my chest is killing me” problems. Which, understandably, creates some anxiety and trepidation. Doctors/ERs/etc always want to blame anxiety for it, despite the fact that even the good IV benzos and shit do fuck all but make me not give a shit.

Glad something works for you man, I wouldnt wish this shit on anyone.

I feel like this whole HDMI 2.1 thing is only an issue for a minority of people with ultra high end expensive monitors, and is overblown as a result.

What’d you find?

I still havent found fuck all that helps with my chest pains.

We know the enemy.

We know every unoriginal comment, trick, and bullshit they do, because they have repeated them over and over again for decades.

We don’t have to keep giving them the false legitimacy of equal time or attention.

Really need Theodore Roosevelt to rise from his grave and start taking his big stick to all the big, monopolistic companies again.

the marking on top of a capacitor are purpose built weak/failure points so if the cap overheats the pressure can be released there, in a controlled failure, as opposed to becoming a mini-pipe bomb.

Often, I think, its an X, sometimes a manufacturer might use another letter like K or T though… I dont know why, presumably something with branding.

PS2 was also an extreme overreaction to the IBM cloning situation, with its various “safe guards” against unauthorized replicas that made it a bitch to work on/upgrade iirc.

the cap plague all came from a single chinese manufacturer? I thought it was across many manufacturers world wide

Something about experimenting with electrolytes in the capacitors or something, i think? i dont recall well enough to state it as fact.

doctors been trying to get up my ass about this for over a year now.

the two tabs in the US snes cart slot are the region protection.

You can get a cheap and easy adapter if you are a preservationist (its just a passive slot extender to extend up over the tabs, basically), or if you are a savage you can grab the two plastic tabs in your US snes cartridge slot with pliers and just wrench them out.

its a fucking tragedy theres no one making decent dumb TVs anymore. But dumb TVs last longer cause they dont run as hot or are as complicated… and disposable society needs products to burn so they can churn for extra profit.

Which is supremely funny, because the religious states always have the highest porn consumption. Which I guess means they wont get many customers.

if they are so concerned about children, how about doing something about the mormon church and the fucking horrible crimes that are committed against women and children in it?

Who hurt you?

altavista, lycos, infoseek, ask jeeves… i feel old.

I didnt realize ask.com was still around.

Iremember when it launched… another relic of the old internet.

For serious, tho: people change. I don’t expect mega corporations to ever change for the better.

at the very best, they can, on occasion, do something thats accidentally good.

But that never really meaningfully alters the trajectory of evil.
