Yup, watched a bunch of games I'd never play myself. Especially grindy games. Watching a stream/video is also much less of a commitment, I hate leaving games unfinished.

Shocker, LLMs are only built to predict the next most likely word in a sentence and nothing else. Glad we test all the things there not good for individually though.

People always hate on k8s, but rarely mention alternatives. Because either you use a cloud offering, aka k8s hiding behind a facade. Or a VM and then your tooling kind of sucks or is equally complex to k8s

Love the guy saying it's like the Reichstag fire. So the shooter is a nazi?

I agree with the layoffs and maximizing monetization. But I think so far they haven't actively killed any of their purchased products. It is in their financial interest to keep things running as long as possible to get their return on investment.

Is your share value massively inflated due to a bubble? Why not invest in that bubble! Feels bad to have exposure to them through an ETF, my poor gainz...

How can you be "left behind" in art? I can make a cave painting right now and there would be nothing wrong or inherently bad about it.

Check out Hitler's paintings. He didn't get into art school, sure, but they aren't awful. It is certainly beyond anything the average person could just draw without practice. This is just garbage.

 

My main question first: Is my setup incorrect or are the dimming zone based monitors really annoying in day-to-day productivity? For one, the brightness of elements on the screen change too much. I.e. the task bar and cursor brightness change drastically depending on the background, even on low settings. On the medium/high settings of backlight dimming you can clearly see the square backlight behind the cursor. Is this normal and I'm just sensitive to this?

Also general HDR question: SDR white content like documents and websites are insanely bright. Is this also normal or should I play around more with the settings? But I assume I should switch them back when I actually want to consume HDR content?

Would love to hear from someone with some experience with HDR monitors especially LCD with dimming zones.

Backstory

I'm currently upgrading my two ancient 1080p 60Hz monitors. Nowadays I do mostly productivity stuff with my monitors, especially a full-time work from home job. But I do play games occasionally, so I wanted to get something for that aspect too.

I got myself the AOC G27G3XMN because it was recommended by Monitors Unboxed as a good entry level true HDR monitor. I wouldn't mind spending more on a monitor, but OLEDs for productivity don't feel worth it to me.
