I turned this off on my TV and was just like...wow! So much better!

From what I could tell, my TV was taking a perfect 1920x1080 signal, and instead of perfectly stretching it to 4K (4 pixels on the screen for every pixel in the input), it was first cropping the edges, then stretching.

This results in clean lines in the input becoming more "fuzzy" on the screen, which a very slight zoom effect.

It's maddening and I can't understand why it would be the default. Across my HDMI sources, TV apps, and live TV, none of these signals need any cropping. They fit perfectly with my settings.

I just hope all the people who "don't get the flu vaccine because they never get the flu" will actually start getting vaccinated.

To those people, odds are you don't get the flu because enough people around you did get vaccinated. And also, you're just getting lucky. You may have a better immune system than average, but you are not immune.

In 2018, the CDC says >490k were hospitalized and >34k died from the flu. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html

It's a serious matter, yet people just brushed it off and came in to work/school sick as a dog. Heck, I remember having to do this with colds in elementary school... It was either: I show up horribly sick, or my grades must suffer. (No, there was no way out of it. Simply punish those trying to protect their community from themselves. Zero tolerance for real life.)

It is? Yikes. If there's a paywall, I just end up reading the comments and never the article. Oh well.
