American internal news is not “World”. See !news@lemmy.world

Yeah, Samsung not so much. The non-HDR picture is vibrant and gorgeous. The HDR is dark, muddy, and unwatchable.

Fortunately all the devices I have feeding them have the option to disable it.

Example:

HDR On:

HDR Off:

Only $40 mil? Didn’t they go after Fox for like $1B?

Problem:

“To inform legislative reforms to protect Americans’ civil liberties in light of developing AI technologies, the Committee must fully understand the nature and extent of the Biden-Harris Administration’s censorship efforts.”

Jim Jordan is an idiot, incapable of “fully understanding” anything.

“Accordingly, we write to request documents and information about the nature and extent of your company’s interactions with the executive branch with respect to the content moderation of your AI models.”

Content moderation doesn’t enter into AI models, he’s confusing the content moderation on social networks with AI models.

The cable would still need to do 4K though…

My number 1 requirement is being able to disable HDR, my sets don’t implement it correctly and HDR content is unwatchable because of it.

The only fix is to disable it on the device as the sets don’t have that option.

I like it! I’ve done a traditional version, but I dig the idea of avocado instead of eggs.

Not Youtube, but on my streaming service there’s an America’s Test Kitchen channel and a “The Repair Shop” channel.

Digging the style of the author, from the 4th book listed:

“You can use any wood to make a good workbench. Except for wood that is on fire. I do not think that would work. But other than wood on fire, use what- ever you have on hand.”

Appears to be a set of three and all three are in free PDF form:

It’s cool, been getting some sleep… except for the guy in hall yelling “I AM SATAN!” it’s been pretty good as far as ER trips go.

They’re keeping me overnight, hopefully booting me out tomorrow.

Landed in the ER today, they’re keeping me overnight for tests. Possible heart stuff.

Hospital gown. :(

Largely software updates. You would not believe how old some of this stuff is.

The problem becomes each update is tied to multiple systems, so testing has to be done across the board for each update.

So it’s easy to go “Why are we running xxx from 2016?” but then you have test it everywhere and that’s why it’s almost 10 years out of date.

I can’t speak for other companies, but in mine we do have a single line item for Tech Debt. It gets IGNORED most of the time, but we do have it! ;)

Tech Debt. So many of these companies investing in AI are doing so at the expense of out dated, broken shit that AI will never address.

Learning from Scout, which is also under the VW umbrella:

Caught up with the shared universe stuff from Mad Cave.

Exit City - 4 issues, noir detective story in a sci-fi city state off the coast of California.

Hour of the Wolf - 4 issues, Witcher meets X-Files.

Revolution 9 - 3 issues released, 2 to go. Group of assassins has one gain a consciece. 6 to go!

Pop Kill - 1st issue is out. Probably the best of the bunch, two warring soda companies, each run by a brother with one arm. Waiting on THAT explanation…
