Fayez Butts posted:TVs do and features and picture quality change yearly 1redflag posted:
They have series numbers. The series will change and the model number will change (usually every 2 years). Not once will you ever be asked for your year/make/model of your TV. Also picture quality really hasn't changed within the type of display (OLED, QLED, Direct View, etc) except for more pixels (UHD, true 4k, 8k). This has been a huge pain point in the industry as its been stagnant for the past few years. Whats even funnier to me is if you are referring to Samsung "2019 QLED" they are the same series/model that came out last year. No changes at all according to the engineers I talk to over there. Just a marketing gimmick to address the above mentioned pain point.

H110Hawk posted:Devices which make noise not explicitly commanded by their operator should be illegal. I'm looking at you cars, phones, tvs, microwaves, everything with electricity basically. Same goes for dumb lights, at least those can be easily blocked. Um the noises and lights all mean something. If it is beeping it is trying to tell you something, usually something you should know. Why would you want to mute a microwave? It only beeps when you press buttons or its letting you know its done heating your food

Rolo posted:Yeah my Samsung smart tv is just a neutered display with a game console as my streaming device. I had to remove all network settings and unplug the lan cable when I realized there were no settings to get the ads out of my face in the menu or to not automatically switch to some terrible SamsungTV channel as soon as I turned off my ps4. I have said it here before and I will say it again. Do not connect your TV to the internet. All of the major brands (Samsung, Sony, LG...to name a few) do targeted ads and analytics of what you watch. Not like a Google Chromecast doesn't but at least Google doesn't put the ads on your screen (just other devices which is creepier to some extent). I bought some stuff this past weekend

oscarthewilde posted:honestly, i've never found building a pc to be particularly relaxing. i was always incredibly paranoid that i'd somehow apply too much pressure and break some important part or forget to ground myself an short the entire thing. it's never gone particularly wrong, but i don't think i could spend that much money and stay relaxed. electronics are not as fragile as you think. It takes a lot to break them and drat near impossible to short them from static shock. Hell my powerbutton is a screwdriver I rake across the leads on the Mobo. But I was once told my computers look like how they imagine they would look after the collapse of civilization so

DrBouvenstein posted:My dad has been to my new house about a half dozen times, and always asks where my CO detector is since he can't see it (and was about a minutes from running out to Ace to get me one each time.) When I bought my house it took me a few months to realize there wasn't a single smoke detector in it. There was a mounting bracket for one in the hall that I assume the previous owner took with him.

mystes posted:Keurig machines are pretty bad but I guess they have the advantage that offices that have them will typically get coffee as party of some sort of subscription or service agreement. This at least prevents them doing what one place I was working at did, which was just buying literally the cheapest coffee they could get from staples or wherever they got their offices supplies. Or they do like my (I think I still work there) office and have a Keurig but no k cups and the lovely communal pot.
