Game consoles never used to have those features either. 😉 That’s the trick, you need a set that supports modern console features.
HDR management being a good one. The game developers encoded HDR to make a game look a specific way, you don’t want a set that either over-rides it and does it’s own, similarly you don’t want a dumb set that doesn’t support HDR.
All that BS is more beneficial to gaming than a generic TV, especially if your focus is low lag.
It varies model to model and year to year, but in general you want a television with either a “Game” mode or “ALLM” (Auto Low Latency Mode).
So on the LG C5 model that’s popular right now:
https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) - Yes (Up to 144Hz)
ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) - Yes
FreeSync™ - Yes
Game Optimizer - Yes
G-Sync Compatible (Nvidia) - Yes
HGIG Mode - Yes (disables the TV tone mapping and allows the game to control HDR - “HDR Gaming Interest Group”)
Response Time - Less than 0.1ms

For them, these inane conversations are likely their pressure/stress release. Medical gigs can be pretty high pressure and everyone reacts to that differently.
I’ve only witnessed it from the patient side, but I get where it’s coming from.
When I had my first heart attack, it was just after Thanksgiving and the cardiac ward was decorated for Thanksgiving. They had these “Guess the heart rythm” charts made out of tinsel, and I got to see them all as I walked the ward after surgery.
(Bonus, immediately after open heart surgery they make you get up and walk around multiple times a day.)
The chart right by the nurses station? I wish I had taken a photo of it… tinsel flatline ending in an angel. LOL.
Oh, it absolutely is, AND they have many times the population of lemmy, AND they vote, AND they are largely misinformed.
We have an election here on Tuesday, there is only one thing to vote on, a property tax measure to support the local parks.
OMG the amount of bad information floating around on this!
You can deprogram some people, but getting people to understand that they are being lied to when they spout nonsense like “ZOMG! Property taxes going up 75%!!!” is a tall hill to climb.
If the goal is “reviving democracy”, you need to go where the people are and that’s not the Fediverse.
That means sticking your toe in the local Facebook/Next Door and that can be problematic for a whole host of other reasons.
Definitely. You’re giving the surveilance state placement though.
Worth noting that Ring has announced a partnership with Flock.
So if you’re in the Ring ecosystem, maybe time to re-consider.
One of our biggest bookstores contracted with a local artist for some merch. That artist used AI with predictable results. Now everyone involved is getting raked over the coals for it.
No surprise, they just announced a 4th round of layoffs too. 😟

Globally?
So a 1 in 8,200 kind of thing?
1·13 days agoSure I could see that being a Microsoft problem, but a bad app is not a Windows 11 problem.
That’s like saying nobody should use Linux because of the Shai-Hulud worm.

The Mailbird issue isn’t really a Windows problem either.
But I’ll totally give him the OneDrive bullshit.
Problem - They’ll want to pay you for 0 days a week.
If only more boomers read books…
Wait, scratch that, if only more people read books. 🤣
