Got it. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Thanks, I'm new to Linux so don't understand the process. How long until a stable release typically?

Oooh this sounds awesome! How long does it typically take to get pushed out to the distros? I'm using Nobara at the moment.

Bro - sounds like you missed an opportunity to dual boot!

He tried but his best lawyers messed up the paperwork.

On second thought, If you use the same source 1080p video and lock one in at 1920 x 1080 window and expand the other one to as full screen as possible. The full screen video will be up-scaled so you should be able to compare directly on one set.

[–] TechAnon@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Ah, I see. No problem. You'd have to switch back and forth in that case or have two of the exact same TVs to compare at the same time. (Some sets do a better or worse job of up-scaling). You'd also have to take into account viewing distance from the TV. At a certain distance it won't matter, but as you get closer, it matters more and more. There are view distance calculators available online to help with that.

I don't think so because you're not forcing the 1080p video to be upscaled since it's stuck with 1920 x 1080 pixels in my example.

Start with a 4K screen. Play a 4K video in VLC. Keep it in windowed mode but make it as big as you possibly can on your screen. Fire up the same video but at 1080p quality. Force that window to be 1920 x 1080 in size. There will be some overlap of the windows, but you can look at the non-overlapped parts and directly compare the video. You can also alt-tab back and forth. Not perfect, but it should give you a pretty good idea. Others - feel free to chime in if this is a good idea or not. I think that so long as the 1080p window is locked in at 1920 x 1080 then it won't be up-scaled.

Florida is taking away the freedom of any person to eat whatever they want? Is anyone surprised?

[–] TechAnon@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

With machines, just remember the "clicks" or "notches" to compare progress. You'll never really know the real weight because who knows the maintenance on them and the amounts of friction per machine that are inherent let alone the pivot points that allow for leverage that can vary.

I agree, but I think it's more than that. Even if you think Trump is telling the truth and all of this is a made up lie (even though there are other signs like cheating on his wife to sleep with porn stars and being caught on a mic saying he just grabs women by the pussy), IT'S EXTREMELY DUMB for him to keep talking about it!

Trump should be renamed to Xenu.
