If 80 million in debt got paid off with 800k then it already ruined everyone's life. Too late. Might as well have not paid it

this could be cool if they coupled it with that tech that makes little physical pop-up buttons on touch screens but a purely virtual keyboard is just never going to be a sufficient replacement

The one gimmick that I thought was actually practical was the one where the reverse side of the monitor was an e-ink screen, so you could close the laptop but then continue to use it in applications that don't require even 30 fps, like reading.

While it can't detect static frame changes faster than 45-60, the motion detection between two frames is much more sensitive, which is benefited from smoother interpolation between frames. The limit of this is more due to the medium being viewed through than anything else. It's why a movie at 24 FPS looks totally fine, but Panning over a huge vista in some 3d game on a 120hz screen has screen tearing and looks 'bad'.

I agree, you should turn on motion smoothing on your TV for more frames, which looks better

The entire American Idiot album never mentions Bush or anyone in the Bush administration by name, nor does it mention anything specific that Bush did.

It's the perfect time capsule of 2000s era "bad things are bad" politics.

I didn’t read the article but I’m assuming it’s in the same vein as encouraging people to default on their mortgages in 2009, ie good for banks and bad for you

torx is good. i suggest buying one of those roll-up electronic repair kits that has a zillion type of weirdo torx or the indented star bits, with good metal, magnetizer, magnetic pads, plastic slipping-jimmies, etc. i've gotten so much mileage out of my no-name aliexpress kit that whips rear end

blatman posted:

i got one of those ifixit kits years ago that's basically the name brand version of the one you're describing and it does in fact own

there's also something to be said for someone being like "hey can you fix my thing" and without missing a beat you literally roll out this specialized toolkit like you're a master thief breaking into the shadow vault

Do you have any recommendations for a kit? Looking through a few to purchase now after reading through Gradenko's post about screws.

anything from ifixit that includes the plastic magnetized box of driver bits is top notch, you probably dont need a dozen varieties of spudger from the larger kits
