  • And computing.

  • I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.

    2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg's suicide, it was the beginning of the end.

    And now he's is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don't fuck it up this time, Kevin.

  • We're in Lemmy.world but I'm sure they got the message.

  • And at least the average Lemmy user isn't a complete fucking idiot.

    I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

  • Oh I had no idea. But it makes sense, cause I never see any Russian troll shit on there*

  • Context?

  • Ha! FWIW I didn't find out what it did until well into adulthood, long after my parents got rid of that PC.

    As kids, my siblings and I would push it for fun, having no idea what it did (other than make the number on the 7 segment display change). Never even noticed a difference but then again I was 6 when we got that computer.

  • Maybe; did Packard Bell produce upright PC cases in the early 90s? I thought they only did horizontal cases but I was like 6 back then so I'm just going by what my mom said to me.

  • Don't remember the brand but it was a Win 3.1 machine from Sears. It had a turbo button.

  • Your attack missed!

    You can pull the Enron card when talking about investments in general; your comments do 0 damage.

  • That was so funny I forgot to laugh.

  • Seriously, I do not have faith in USD anymore. What's left of my paycheck after bills all goes to BTC, and I sell what I need on demand to cover day to day costs. Been doing this since 2019 and it has paid off handsomely.

  • My portfolio disagrees.

    Y'all should have bought BTC when the price was hovering around $19K about 3 years ago. I told you the price was going to go up, but no one listened. Now it's at $105K, I'm $60k richer, and y'all are still whining and complaining that it's a "scam".

    Hate to break it to you, but bitcoin isn't to crash and burn anytime soon. It's still early; buy in now or regret it for the rest of your life.

  • Seems to me that you got an early or cheaper HDR display, then. To me the difference is night and day.

    FWIW, HDR does its best work if you have a display that can do true blacks. If you don't have an OLED, mini LED, or full array, you're going to have a hard time noticing the difference, especially if you don't know what you're looking for. HDR works best in either extremely dark or bright scenes, so having a display with a near infinite contrast ratio is important.

    Here's a hint for any display: Look at some HDR clouds while you toggle HDR on and off. You'll definitely notice the difference there. Also check the teals. It's less obvious but SDR displays can't do a proper teal.

  • Frame Generation adds input lag, but I haven't heard of any upscaling algorithms causing issues.

  • Fair, but I'm mostly interested in how they feel about modern AAA games, with their path tracing and HDR support and whatnot.
