Vr so weird to me, with every other kind of gadget there’s a clear ‘best’ that has all the bells and whistles and a ‘good enough’ that has most. But with vr it seems there’s no hierarchy, just a bunch of models with different and (imo) incomplete featuresets and nonsensical prices as if the tech is still brand new…
I don’t remember… I don’t think so?

So hold on, they don’t even know who 1215 of the victims were??
Oh fuck I couldn’t math… (40k-1.5k)/1.5k*285=7315 victims oh god
Oh I was trying to figue out where all the uk unions went on 2020…
I’ve been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn’t a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.
Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it’s worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.
I don’t use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason
Everything’s politics mfs when I refuse to treat them bcs they don’t like garlic
Counter - take: this is the natural outcome of Americans’ obsession with simplicity. If you mock every design with character and try to reduce visual noise at all costs you end up with these
Any is it not variable?
Nope, it does have wide color gamut and high-ish brightness, wouldn’t buy unless reviews said it was ok. But it does some fuckery to the image I can only imagine could be to make non-hdr content pop on windows but ends up messing up the image coming from kde. I can set it up to look alright in either in a light or dark environment but the problem is I can’t quickly switch between them without fiddling with all the settings again.
Compared to my cooler master a grayscale gradient on it has a much sharper transition from crushed bright to gray but then gets darker much slower as well, to a point where unless a color is black it appears darker on the cm despite it having an ips screen. Said gray also shows up as huge and very noticable red green and blue bands on it, again unlike the cm which also has banding but at least the tones of gray are similiar.
Also unrelated but just noticed while testing the monitors, max sdr brightness slider of kde seems to have changed again. Hdr content gets darker on the last 200 nits while sdr gets brighter. Does anyone know anything about that? I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work
3 months edit: I might’ve been wrong about this. At the time I had both monitors connected to the motherboard (amd igpu) since the nvidia driver had washed out colors. Since the cooler master worked I assumed the amd drivers were fine. But a while back I ended up plugging both into the nvidia gpu and discovered that not only were the nvidia drivers fixed, but with it the Samsung didn’t have the weird brightness issue neither.
I got a samsung monitor last year too (it was the cheapest hdr option and I keep seeing reddit praise them) and it has such a terrible hdr experience. When hdr is on either dark colors are light grayish, brights are too dark, darks are crushed, everything’s too bright or colors are over saturated. I’ve tried every combination of adjusting brightness / gamma from the screen and/or from kde but couldn’t figure out a simple way to easily turn down the brightness at night without some sort of image issue popping up. So recently I gave up and turned hdr off. Still can’t use the kde brightness slider without fucking up the image but at least the monitor’s brightness slider works now.
Also if there are very few bright areas on the screen it further decreases its overall screen brightness, which also affects color saturation bcz of course.
Also also just discovered freesync and vrr are two different toggles in two different menus for some fucking reason and if you only enable freesync like I did you get a flickering screen
I really wish there was a ‘no smart image fuckery’ toggle in the settings.
Next you’ll tell me mainstream is not niche
