.. I actually wonder if the graphics cards could multiplex across multiple dp to a single display.

I started to do it to keep the dog dirt out of my sheets. It's the first time I have ever done this in my life. I now feel like an adult.

The reason they moved back is because Excel.

That makes for bad gift giving imo because then they could've just gone out and bought something for themselves.

I do the same thing and I am lauded within my family as an excellent gift giver.

Did anyone find it suspicious that the FBI didn't identify and publish a direct motive? Do you think the reason for his nutjob behavior was somehow covered up by the FBI because of the administration?

Those displays are not televisions - they are for menus at restaurants. They cost a fortune because they are low volume, high reliability devices that come with service contracts and repairable components.

OK how do I go about getting Roku to refund me for my TVs? That sounds like an excellent approach to take.

[-] WetBeardHairs@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

There is no hardware reset switch and in order to perform a software reset you need to get to the menu and to do that, you have to agree to the terms.

Yeah, computer monitors are manufactured to a different spec than television displays at the pixel level. This is usually called chroma subsampling.

Computer monitors typically are 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 which gives nice crisp and legible fonts. Anything less than 4:4:2 gives me a headache (also Windows....).

Television displays are usually 4:2:0. That's fine for rendering large text that is visible across the room. But trying to edit a word document would be a terrible experience.

I believe they manufacture the television panels with fewer pixel address lines and that reduces the cost. Also, smart TVs sell ads and your usage patterns which are used to subsidize the cost of the tv.

That's why computer monitors are so much more expensive than televisions.

HDMI CEC will let your other devices turn on the monitor and switch inputs as appropriate. You'll need some kind of AVR to play audio. Plenty of low cost, highly capable solutions out there like the WIIM Amp that lets you use multiple sources such as your PC or a dedicated streaming set top box.

Edit2: OK Per feedback I am going to have a dedicated external NAS and a separate homeserver. The NAS will probably run TrueNAS. The homeserver will use an immutable os like fedora silverblue. I am doing a dedicated NAS because it can be good at doing one thing - serving files and making backups. Then my homeserver can be good at doing whatever I want it to do without accidentally torching my data.

I haven't found any good information on which distro to use for the NAS I am building. Sure, there are a few out there. But as far as I can tell, none are immutable and that seems to be the new thing for long term durability.

Edit: One requirement is it will run a media server with hardware transcoding. I'm not quite sure if I can containerize jellyfin and still easily hardware transcode without a more expensive processor that supports hyper-v.

As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.

So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He's 10, so please don't recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)

He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.

Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn't just a punishment.

Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge
