Mostly unable to make use of certain features. Say your display supports 4k @ 120Hz. If you have an improper cable you might be able to get 4k30 or 4k60, but not 4k120.

DisplayPort gang rise up

First off: cables don’t have version numbers. The host and the client have ports that adhere to a certain spec and the HDMI foundation made that very unclear by incorporating 2.0b into 2.1 and now not every 2.1 port supports the same things. Cables are defined by their max bandwidth, i.e. high speed, ultra high speed or high speed with ethernet. You might see marketers saying something is a 2.1 cable, that just means it is capable of supporting some or all of the 2.1 spec.

Second: the only reason to get new HDMI cables, like you said, is if you currently have a very old one and have devices that actually make use of the bandwidth. And I’ll tell you right now, most of the high speed cables will do just fine. It’s when you start doing 8k120 with HDR and VRR with eARC you’ll need heftier cables. The only external devices to support that, though, are either supplied with cables because their makers don’t want you bottlenecking your device, or they are PCs.

Third: the only reason HDMI is even a thing is because this joint venture behind it successfully lobbied their inferior product to TV manufacturers. DisplayPort has always been and will always be the better interface for video.

Borderlands, particularly 2

And though shalt always immediately splurge for any Pro or limited edition on the market and dump your old console as soon as possible to minimise losses - PlayStation 5:5

If it wasn’t for Goldblum I probably wouldn’t have given it a chance but I’m glad I did.

If you have a limited knowledge of Greek mythology you’ll go ‘wait how was this in the myths’ and look it up and kinda be surprised how true they stay.

If you know all about Greek mythology you’ll have a laugh at how they mangle certain things and put things together that are not supposed to be together.

Thanks for sharing, turned it off on my tv and shared it

I think I need to read up on the fediverse a bit more. Technically it looks like anything in the fediverse at the moment is ActivityPub, even though it supports 3 more protocols. At this point, only Hubzilla uses something other than ActivityPub, even though it also makes use of AP. I was confused because Matrix is also an open protocol and also federated. I had figured everything federated could talk to each other underneath… That’d be the dream, right?

Hmm okay. I’ve logged into Element with my lemmy.world account though

My stationary bike has a display that tracks loads of stuff but there’s also a phone/tablet holder if you prefer an app. You can use anything you want but you just gotta commit to a certain run plan.

As for me, I do about 10 minutes at low resistance, high pace. My dash shows me a virtual speed indication. I do the first 10 minutes around 25 kph.

Then I slowly move through the gears and try to keep the pace flat. After 25 minutes I do a short intermission where I get the lowest gear and paddle loose the legs.

Then the buildup again and trying to keep the pace above the previous pace.

Essentially it’s all about what you want to gain.

For strength, you’ll do better with explosive bouts (after proper warmup or you’ll tear off your leg muscles). For endurance, it’s all about keeping up a pace in intervals. The higher the pace you can consistently keep during a set time period (for instance an hour), the better, but it’s important to find your base level first by taking it easy. Consistency is key above all else.

Keep in mind that if endurance is your goal, you should never think ‘oh this is going pretty easy, I can take it up a notch’ because you might not last the full hour without over exerting yourself which will lead to sore muscles. The other way around is also true, though: don’t give up if it gets tough. But there’s a difference between stretching your comfort zone and going outside the lines.

This is actually brilliant. If he wouldn’t have made this error, nobody would’ve read what he said because it’s all a dime a dozen at this point. Most folks will know not to make light of the whole thing but now a lot more people have read his words. I wonder if it was on purpose.

I think Element does what you’re looking for. Get yourself a fediverse account, log in and watch it go. Difficulty, as ever, is getting your contacts to switch.

I thought I saw Zampella from Respawn saying stuff about it. All we need is for it to be Titanfall x Battlefield 3

Edit: It adds up to what one might call classic Battlefield, but bigger — big enough that it merits the efforts of four separate studios in DICE, Motive, Ripple Effect, and Criterion (Ridgeline Games was briefly part of its development before being shuttered after founder Marcus Lehto’s departure). EA CEO Andrew Wilson claims it’s one of the “most ambitious projects in [EA’s] history.”

Our youngest comes into the house mewing until someone replies.

She looks exactly like our Zola. Except ours is a bit of a diva and loves to be photographed.

C/aneurysmposting

I have three young girls. Every now and then, this huge orange male comes in. My cats are nowhere to be seen if Orange Joe shows up.

I can’t imagine yours enjoys it but probably just rolls with it because it’s too much of a bother to fight it.

Any free online game is gonna be ruined by its community. Do yourself a favour and look for a game you actually like and pay for it.

I totally agree but I suppose you have to note that at the time, it was somewhat unique.

That said, pop music has been bland since the 70s. Rock has dominated the charts for decades and anything remotely experimental is just called ‘noise’ by boomers who just seem to want more of the same.

The surge of dance music is a breath of fresh air that has become the same issue, but now affecting the next generation.

Borderlands 2 is great! Should work with Proton.
