I have the same TV. It doesn’t specifically help you but using HDMI 2.1 sources works fine for 4K HDR 120Hz and VRR. I have too many devices (Xbox Series, PS5, AppleTV, Switch) so they are routed through a GUIDE3 switcher.

So I would think it is the DP converter or the HDMI cable not really being 2.1.

Ubiquiti NVR Instant kit is a great value, and you get 24h local recording without a subscription. And it is well supported with Home Assistant.

Some of the UniFi cameras are amazingly expensive though, $500 for an outdoor 4K camera is hard to swallow. But if you can swing it, you will not regret the investment.

I already have other UniFi gear for networking and it was natural to add cameras to the system.

Apparently UniFi Protect works with 3rd party cameras if they support ONVIF but I don’t know of any yet.

I have good memories of Gris, but it is a game about grief. It was kind of janky but I was in the right mood for it I guess, having lost someone earlier. I completely agree that it is not for everyone. I enjoyed it but I certainly did not have fun (what a weird thing to say about a game!).

Agreed, the story and characters really make no sense. I still found the game interesting enough to play it to the end, and it was ok. It was really the setting that kept me going, though.

PSA, the Trapped in Limbo DLC is hot garbage and should be avoided, it will instantly ruin any good memory you had of the game.

Same here. I did it the hard way with a modchip but these days it’s all software. It lived as a media player for a long time. I eventually replaced it with a PC running Windows Media Center, that was nowhere near as good…

Yes precisely. It typically made the PC run at 4.77MHz to match the original IBM PC. Back then Turbo meant 8 or 12 MHz, not much more…

This is kind of misleading though. It was common at the time for games to run as fast as possible and then break as CPUs got faster.

One famous example is Wing Commander which is unplayable on a Pentium-class machine because it runs too fast.

This is also why DOSBox has a speed setting and a keyboard shortcut to adjust it at runtime.

Same here, this exact conversation happened.

In every meeting where feedback is requested since then, there is a permanent note that says “please no questions about RTO”.

…but passing on the right is illegal.

I work in games, the reason it works the opposite for them is because Unreal Editor is a product that is also shipped.

Sadly for most of us, the tools used to make the game (that includes the engine) are for internal use only, and most of the time there is no army of programmers available to do all of the work ahead of time. So it pays to wait and focus on the hot path used by the game you are shipping right now and not a hypothetical one you might ship later.

Now that’s something I didn’t think of: Prey in VR. 🤔

I’ll have to give that a go!
