My GUESS, and I have no knowledge of this, but my guess is using oil to generate steam is less efficient than simply running a diesel engine.

Oil -> Steam -> Drives Engine
Diesel -> Drives Engine

Yeah, Samsung not so much. The non-HDR picture is vibrant and gorgeous. The HDR is dark, muddy, and unwatchable.

Fortunately all the devices I have feeding them have the option to disable it.

Example:

HDR On:

HDR Off:

The cable would still need to do 4K though…

My number 1 requirement is being able to disable HDR, my sets don’t implement it correctly and HDR content is unwatchable because of it.

The only fix is to disable it on the device as the sets don’t have that option.

I can’t speak for other companies, but in mine we do have a single line item for Tech Debt. It gets IGNORED most of the time, but we do have it! ;)

Tech Debt. So many of these companies investing in AI are doing so at the expense of out dated, broken shit that AI will never address.

Learning from Scout, which is also under the VW umbrella:

Caught up with the shared universe stuff from Mad Cave.

Exit City - 4 issues, noir detective story in a sci-fi city state off the coast of California.

Hour of the Wolf - 4 issues, Witcher meets X-Files.

Revolution 9 - 3 issues released, 2 to go. Group of assassins has one gain a consciece. 6 to go!

Pop Kill - 1st issue is out. Probably the best of the bunch, two warring soda companies, each run by a brother with one arm. Waiting on THAT explanation…

Room-mates with a Lebanese refugee for 7 years. Good guy, went to his wedding, he came to mine.

“Senate Democrats appear ready to back down”

Full stop, no need to further qualify that…

If there ever was a disqualifying statement for a leadership position…

It’s up to the Congressman to remind everyone when his Republican opponent tries to lie about him.

Removed, efitorialized headline.

OG Headline reads: “Democracy Is Under Siege Globally. Canada Is Being Tested”

Normally, when a news site replaces a headline, there’s a “close enough” factor and I give the submitter a chance to change it before removing it.

In this case, there appears to be no attempt at the original headline.

Author has updated the article to state, more or less, that they have no proof of this and are talking out their ass.

“Update: I should note that any original plans or contracts have not been verified and any cancellation of these plans or contracts have not been verified. Coverage of this is limited, indicating some traditional media don’t have enough proof to report on it. It should also be emphasized that this very high $22 billion figure is not concerning any short-term contract. My understanding from the reporting is that it was the amount Carlos Slim’s companies were expecting to spend on Starlink orders and services over the coming years (or decades) across Central and South America. But, again, I have not seen any official statement or report verifying any of this is definitely true.”
