they look at how most of us seem to be able to pay landlords and got jealous 😂

I'll chime in with a weird take: this is a privacy community, we are united in a sense of defending our peaceful and unproblematic browsing on the internet and sending messages to friends from lunatics who seem to want everyone treated with the suspicion of highest criminal activity. the article posted describes a "privacy infringement" onto someone who not only has already broken the rule, but strongly publicized it by making people have to smell it. the perpetrators didn't even have an expectation of privacy, so the premise is ridiculous.

I'll say it like this: if the tv detects nicotine patches on someone's skin, then i pick up the torches and pitchforks.

don't know about op's claims but one time a crack actually affected my computer - in a really goofy way. it just installed a background wallpaper that was advertising for canned tuna, all in Russian 😂 the brand didn't even exist where i lived. also i could easily reset the background, so it wasn't malicious at all.

That's precisely why I didn't blame windows in my post, but the windows-consumer mentality of "yeah install with privileges, shove genshin impact into ring 0 why not"

Linux can have the same issue. We have to keep the culture on our side here vigilant and pure near the kernel.

I love how everyone understands the issue wrong. It's not about being on Windows or Linux. It's about the ecosystem that is common place and people are used to on Windows or Linux. On windows it's accepted that every stupid anticheat can drop its filthy paws into ring 0 and normies don't mind. Linux has a fostered a less clueless community, but ultimately it's a reminder to keep vigilant and strive for pure and well documented open source with the correct permissions.

BSODs won't come from userspace software

Ah cool, I didn't know that there are layers of capabilities for different requested brightnesses. Thanks for your in depth reply! I'm also a 1000 nits enjoyer but I don't switch on any lights - I like when my eyeballs get blasted with colors. 😂

Hey there, thanks for the comprehensive reply, I learned a lot. Also, your blog is fantastic, I'm always happy when there's a new post =)

Question about the last point: I feel like in SDR mode, the OLED is pushing brighter images. I almost feel like it's underselling the capabilities at 270, but does so to give pixels a rest every now and then, in the hope that the bright spots don't stay stationary on the screen. It's a wild guess, I have no idea.

I'm using all of them sometimes. ^^ Washed out colors are not an issue on AMD anymore as you said it, but on nvidia I can't seem to fix it. I wonder if this is happening to absolutely everyone, as the arch wiki makes it sound like nvidia 545+ has been reported working...

About the contrast: I wish I could, but I found that the factory default was 70% and it did seem to often cause noticeable dimming because the image was too bright for the max avg luminance. It felt weird and I think it's because Alienware, like many manufacturers, just can't resist blasting the consumer with overtuned contrasts to get a purchase out of it.

I think it was win 8. I've dual booted excessively until dxvk basically made such a dent in the gaming exclusivity that I just stayed and enthusiastically followed it grow into perfection
