Don’t they use quantum dots in some OLEDs? Isn’t that what QD-OLED is?

seems strange for you to criticize the quality of Wikipedia, then? you have personal experience that demonstrates why these volunteers are putting their time towards this instead of towards editing articles - editing articles is a difficult and sometimes contentious process.
- Comment on Photographers Are on a Mission to Fix Wikipedia's Famously Bad Celebrity Portraits [404 Media] 1 month ago:
honestly you aren’t wrong. I’d guess it’s just a case of the Wikipedia photo being a bottom priority for them, but then you would think “update Wikipedia photo” would be somewhere on every publicist’s to-do list. Maybe this project will encourage more publicists to explore how to do this.

Wikipedia focuses on those other issues as well, they just happen to be a group of volunteers trying to manage the most comprehensive repository of information that the world has ever seen. If you see issues with articles, you are always welcome to sign up and edit the articles yourself!

Wikipedia does such a solid, unmitigated GOOD service for the world, especially the English speaking world.

Lol EXCELLENT example of the kind of photo Wikiportraits is trying to replace. It’s hilarious, but not great for the internet’s most reliable resource.

thank you for sharing!
- Comment on Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters 1 month ago:
i would feel okay about it if the energy cost of AI wasn’t so astronomical. It would be a fun quirk to play an open-world game full of characters that can sort of hold a conversation with you like this. But if we have to boil oceans to do it (and we still do as of this writing), then it just seems beyond frivolous. I love video games, but nothing in a video game is important enough to justify that energy cost.

Pi Holes are awesome! Blocking ads at the router level is a great idea. However, I have heard they can be a bit finicky, so not the best solution for all.
- Comment on After two hours, open world shooter Atomfall is far more Far Cry than S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 1 month ago:
Sounds like a fun romp, though I will admit to being more partial to the STALKER style.

- Comment on Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 | Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
hell yeah the rumors is true. Well it LOOKS solid, but i don’t know how much actual info there was to glean out of that video. This is coming from a different studio than the people that brought you THPS 1+2, so it remains to be seen if Iron Galaxy can pull off the same kind of loving remake that Vicarious Visions gave us in 1+2. I think Iron Galaxy was responsible for the Killer Instinct reboot, so we know they have some cred on bringing old games back to life.

- Comment on Reddit Blames Google Algorithm Changes For Not Hitting User Growth. 2 months ago:
yeah i mean i know my workarounds like old.reddit and certain third party apps that still work, but most users aren’t doing that. Everytime i accidentally end up on the default reddit experience i am amazed by how messy, ad-riddled, and annoying it is to use. If that was the only way i knew how to use the site, I would simply open the site less.

- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism [404 Media] 2 months ago:
I think Rose hits this point pretty good:
It’s not that social media is fundamentally evil or bereft of any good qualities. Some of my best post-Twitter moments have been spent goofing around with mutuals on Bluesky, or waxing romantic about the joys of human creativity and art-making in an increasingly AI-infested world. But when it comes to addressing the problems we face, no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing.
so keep doing it to have fun if it’s what you do for fun! just don’t make the mistake of thinking it is a substitute for direct action. Personally, I think good political memes might be one of the few things we can actually do online to change minds. a funny meme that also makes a good point will probably reach way more people than a well-written article that makes the same point!

- Comment on Steam Brick: A DIY cut-down Steam Deck, sans input and screen 2 months ago:
I think it would be hard to find a NUC that costs the same or less and still performs the same as the Steam Deck. You could maybe get there with a custom-built SFFPC, but it would be tricky.

LTT deliberately fucked over a small boutique water cooling shop. They had a host if other fuckery that needed to be exposed. Why would GN chill out when LTT was doing stuff that directly opposed GN’s pro-consumer and pro-small business values?
