If you have a theater nearby that offers Dolby Vision films you can try out a version of HDR. They use laser projectors so the blacks can really be pure black. When the screen goes dark just before the movie the entire theater will be pitch black except for emergency lighting. It’s glorious.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.world•Obviously the answer is yesEnglish4·7 days agoI live out in the country with a lot of farms and yeah people do this. I’ve seen apples, peaches, firewood, and a few other “shelf stable” things.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How long would a shuttle from Earth to Vulcan take?English4·9 days agoVoyager’s “variable geometry pylons” were designed to allow greater than warp 5 travel without the damage to subspace. It’s also entirely possible that Starfleet adapted the borg technology from the Delta Flyer to increase the travel speed of shuttles. The warp scale is logarithmic so even a fraction of a point increase can shave significant portions of time off a trip.

(/s just in case)
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?English3·14 days agoEDIT: I meant QSV Gen 7, which would be intel Gen 11. Kaby Lake and up can still handle HEVC in hardware but they have to use software as well for 4K.
worth mentioning that any intel cpu with an iGPU from generation 7 (kaby lake) and up can handle 4k hevc transcode in hardware. i just upgraded my plex box to an i7 8700K and it works quite well. an old office workstation with like a 9th or 11th gen intel cpu would probably rip through transcodes.

aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.
Caveat: I am not a programmer, just an enthusiast. Windows programs typically package all of the dependency libraries up with each individual program in the form of DLLs (dynamic link library). If two programs both require the same dependency they just both have a local copy in their directory.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•Oblivion Remastered troubleshootingEnglish2·1 month agoI can (anecdotally) confirm the overclocking sensitivity. Although it seems to be more that this game just REALLY pushes hardware if you let it which is naturally gonna draw out overclocking instabilities.
IF you’re going to do this, make sure use some sort of sealed package (like the box in the photo). You used to be able to slap these things on like a sheet of plywood and just send it as is but now if the package isn’t sealed and is obvious misuse the post office can just throw it in the dumpster. If its a sealed package then the post office has to deliver it and the permit holder has to pay the charges. https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2019/pb22525/html/updt_001.htm

It’s been a bit since I saw the original behind the scenes vid or whatever it was, what was the context?
Just curious, do you know how many trees were MOLESTED to create that air you’re breathing?
