    Does the 1080p resolution show up if you go to Advanced > Show Resolutions as List and then tick "Show all resolutions" under the list? The resolution you are looking for is probab…

    On mine, Apple TV+ (the official app as well as Safari) will refuse to play 4K through a similar adapter (VMM7100) on an OLED C2 42 from Cable Matters with the latest 120Hz support…

    The Google Nest Audio speakers are kind of a special case. They only sound good because they use a sealed, extremely rigid cast aluminum sealed enclosure with a high excursion driv…

    The YouTube link that starts with RJUvNV, titled "(a). sip" IMO, the first track is a banger (I really like it), and it doesn't sound obviously AI. The second track is more obvious…

    https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/sysadmin/HowWeSellS... Perhaps the most interesting (though sort of irrelevant) part from a linked page on the site is that "cloud" storage…

    I remember this from a few years ago, when I requested the code for this from Charlie Miller on Twitter/X (he replied with a link to the code on archive.org). I was trying to use i…

    Interestingly enough, this particular question has been tested by Rtings [1] They found that during their tests, inverters which continuously varied the power did not necessarily l…

    FWIW, if this was somewhat recent, Gamers Nexus recently did a segment [1] on ASUS' warranty support and practices, and they say that they are making some improvements to the way w…

    The precursor to these features was the "Audio/AirPods Accessibility" settings as "Custom Transparency Mode"). When I last tried them, some settings seemed to process the audio in …

    Unless they changed something, in Canada I was able to try the AirPods Pro and the Pro 2 in store. They sanitize them between customers (IMO, not very well) with alcohol wipes. You…

    I've been playing with Cursor (albeit with a very small toy codebase) and it does seem like it could do some of what you said - it has a number of features, not all of which necess…

    So apparently this is actually configurable, but it's either on or off, and it's set to one minute by default (either 1 minute or no shutdown, no inbetween). The command in questio…

    The BitLocker thing is definitely a problem. On Apple systems which have a similar FDE system, the preboot environment will shut the machine down if the page is left open for too l…

    Is there any application of "Modern Standby" that is actually delivering significant value to customers somewhere? A lot of the theoretical benefits of it, IMO, have been relativel…

    The problem with having standards for this kind of thing is that different units have different needs for communication and different levels of being smart. For example, some units…

    Just as a data point for those in Canada (maybe US, but I'm not sure if it's the same company), I have a Senville unit, bought from their website, and they sent a replacement plast…

    Would also recommend trimming the silence off of the beginning of the video and show b-roll in the background while introducing the functionality of the app.

    Seems like the popular (?) "Grokking the Coding Interview" course is sold through them. This was commonly recommended on sites like Blind. The content of the course appears to be w…

    I have the unfortunate "habit" of writing in the style of chatgpt, even before chatgpt existed. So no, not a chatgpt comment.

    Most of these built-in fridges have some (non-obvious) method to remove them from the wall fairly easily. Typically, built in fridges are mounted using a couple screws (check the m…

    I think that both sides (SW and HW) can learn to coexist better, and tbh, there is really a necessity for them to. The reality is that the reason software is currently the top indu…
