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.

Matt’s just fine, what do you think they made the paste out of? “Is that hair gel?”

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

Great XKCD!

I guess you round up.

If Trump went after my daughter and I were the judge on his case, he’d immediately go to jail and be fined to the maximum extent.

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.

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.

Glad there’s still hope for some of them at least. I used to see “in two more weeks everyone will see X and Y on TV and the truth will be revealed” and then a month later something similar at a later date… I’d think “how many times can they do this until people give up?”

Does anyone know what happened to all the Qanon people? I don’t think I’ve heard much from that group in a while. Did they finally figure out they were getting played after all these years?

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’ve never heard this one! Hahahahaha! wow!

I think it’s time the term “Y’all Queda” comes back.

Any legal experts in here? Can this be used as testimony for the judge/jury?

It doesn’t matter mathematically because I live in a dark blue district in a dark blue state, but I’m going to cast that vote.

I disagree with this part. It does matter because there’s always so much talk about popular vote. I’m glad you’re voting anyhow! 👍

Their lead investigator will surely sniff this one out!

/I’m going to hell!
