qirex posted:samsung's "QLED" is a cynical attempt to create customer confusion and charge more for their middlin' edge lit lcd panels than actual oleds cost, in response samsung's high end marketshare is plummeting because hey making worse tvs and charging more for them isn't the best strategy so what the gently caress is qled i thought it was just a regular lcd, but using quantum dots for backlighting so that they were individually controllable. the ultimate FALD if you will

Notorious b.s.d. posted:so what the gently caress is qled no qled is just lcd with a coating or something that every company has been doing since 2015 or so, samsung just went full "Q is better, is 2 more" with it, all their current qled tvs are side-lit even the $4000 ones, coupled with samsung's legendary quality control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DBzfkP9w0s [if you don't feel like watching the video they improved the image quality of a tv by putting it back in the box and dropping it on the floor a few times] there's a different technology called micro led that might be what you're thinking of, they're starting to sell really large displays like 140"+

https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/1/8/16860780/tile-partnership-boosted-board-bose-headphones-track posted:Tile wants to track all your gadgets, even those without a tracker attached. Today the company announced that it has partnered with multiple companies that'll soon incorporate its location sharing technology in their products. Bose, Boosted (the maker of Boosted board), Samsonite, Herschel Supply, and Propeller Health (a maker of connected inhalers) will all allow users to track their devices through Tile's location tracking platform and app, without the need for an actual Tile tracker. this sounds like a good idea but ive read the tile app needs location services at full blast on your phone 24/7

Notorious b.s.d. posted:so what the gently caress is qled Okay I looked this poo poo up on Wikipedia so you know it's reliable, there's two types of displays that use quantum dots the first kind just puts a QD coating on top of a normal LCD that does marketing bullshit the other kind actually produces light from quantum dots and doesn't actually exist in volume manufacturable form atm

i had a panasonic cd player and when i was a kid ther was a part in a tune where they stopped and started back up again that sounded cool and i thought it was a skip in the cd player so i'd bash the crap out of the cd player to try and replicate it. i've got a mcs turntable that's a technics rebranded for macys or sears or something

qirex posted:I've had a panasonic microwave for 12 years, needs suiting FYI: replace your microwave after 8 or 9 years. The magnetron decreases in output power over time so you’re probably getting like 40-50% less hearing power output now. Fortunately, Panasonic still makes dope microwaves. Mine has a one-button reheat that appears to use magic to automatically choose the right time to get something warmed up again.

cage-free egghead posted:That's how I imagined the future would look like when Motorola first did it. I think it's a great idea personally. Honestly I think having the phone being both your pocket computer and a literal computer is the way of the future, rather than companies shelling out $1,200 to $2,000 for their employees to use as excel and outlook machines.

if they make everything work wirelessly, switch on/off automatically, not kill your battery, and not painfully slowly, yeah people will probably use it assuming it does browsing and word processing without making GBS threads itself e: without having to buy a bunch of dedicated purpose built hardware that only works to sync with your phone

so i went and bought a dumb pioneer receiver with a flip up screen https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071X596WM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for my car because it was the only one with carplay that fits in the old style single DIN space in my car. literally yesterday i ripped apart my dashboard getting the old one out  and then the people on the lotus forums tell me that most people who have installed a flip out display have had to CUT OFF THE END OF THEIR WIPER STALK to make the display not hit it on the way out so i was probably gonna return it and just hot glue an iphone to my dash or something. then alpine announced this today which i don't generally like because it has that dumb hover look that the new mercedes cars have but i guess it's probably the best choice and it fits in a single DIN space so hey. https://alpine-usa.com/company/press/ces2018/2018/new-9-inch-ilx-f309-in-dash-system-from-alpine-electronics-will-hover-into-many-vehicles  supposedly shipping in feb. I guess i will throw this old stupid parrot asteroid that crashes all the time in the garbage and wait for the alpine. If you were thinking about buying a parrot stereo for your car, don't, it is beyond garbage. runs bad andriod, crashes and randomly turns the stereo on and off without user input, the fm tuner app unexpectedly quits all the time, etc. so CES is... good?
