It still blows my mind that no OLED TV has yet added simple temporal blending between frames, the kind of which MPV has had for decades. They could even take it a step further and emulate the colour-dependent blending of LCD screens. But no instead it's the same terrible motion interpolation algorithms of 15+ years ago, or nothing.

What >100mbps content is there? 4K bluray just needs a bigger buffer to handle >100mbps spikes (Kodi for example offers this) and Moonlight/Apollo/etc is well into diminishing returns

I solved mine by chronically exposing myself to very low noise during sleep - wearing good earplugs in an already silent room. To the point where you can hear your eyeballs move etc. I guess this may be where the link to good sleep comes from, which implies a quiet sleeping environment

A bug(?) exists to disable liquid ass on the Home Screen that still works in 26.3 - enable Reduce Motion globally in accessibility settings, then add a per app accessibility override for “Home Screen & App Library” with Reduce Motion off, then reboot. Somehow this disables liquid ass throughout the Home Screen, back to iOS 18 gaussian blurs

Yeah it’s more of an annoyance for sure. I only discovered it was a thing when intentionally MITMing a domain on my router

Even with default https etc, HSTS still adds some defence against MITM - browsers won’t let you even forcibly accept a self signed certificate

I’m always surprised people pick Lua when Pawn exists. I think I’d even still choose it over MicroQuickJS

My solution to this is a pair of udp ports relayed to each other on a VPS via socat. Then you can point a home WireGuard server (behind cgnat etc) at one, and clients at the other, with no need to trust the vps

While I do like tone controls, I'm skeptical of the argument of adjusting bass/treble based on volume, e.g. the likes of 'Dynamic EQ' in D&M receivers. It has always sounded like it is doubling up something that my brain is already doing

Not a Ruby/Rails person, but from a quick look there are still APIs named exactly the same between those versions. Very nice to see

On the other hand, Laravel decided to change from snake_case to CamelCase between versions 3 and 4, just because. Literally 0% compatibility

It's on PHP 7.4, so between RHEL and CloudLinux there's another few years left in it, before I weigh up rewrite vs another round of hacking modern PHP support into Laravel 3

Still maintaining a Laravel 3 project. Barely made it 2 years before maintainability became a nightmare and the only upgrade path was complete rewrite. Projects written without an opinionated framework easily sail past 10 years of comfy maintainability

You can see their panic - in my country they are running TV ads for Google search, showing it answering LLM-prompt-like queries. They are desperately trying to win back that mind share, and if they lose traditional keyword search too they’re cooked

Also in the case of glslang there are enough references to GPL to (probably erroneously) strike fear into legal departments

A vague description or white lie might have been better here - a storage company with a fleet of servers shouldn’t ever be in this situation for the reason given
