do they just not calibrate their poo poo?

its not just calibration, if you want uniform screens you have to pay more because they have a lower yield (and also apple buys all the good ones) and samesung is cheap

but they're "fixing" it with a software setting, which means they could/should be applying that setting at assembly time and not exposing it to the users

ill believe it when i see it. i doubt it can be truly fixed in software, it's probably going to be a quick hackjob that kills the gamut

I saw you actually returned it but going back a few pages and for anyone who might encounter this again and for people who likes and can tinker with things to get things done:


You can try using metal files to work the edge down to desired depth.

Something like this would work.
https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/files/8-inch-half-round-file-96629.html

Then carefully sand it with various grit sandpaper, start with 300 then ends with 1200 grit and possibly finishing it up wet sanding it.

https://www.harborfreight.com/9-in-x-11-in-wetdry-sanding-sheets-assortment-10-pc-60297.html

For wet sanding, be careful to prep it properly so you don't get it wet. You can either take it apart first or tape it up properly.

Total cost, less than 10 bucks :awesomelon:

It will also give you a unique look with the bare metal part too, just cover it with industrial strength sharpie if you want to make it darker. You can also vary the layers of sharpie to get different hue.

Xbox is in no way a success. it is a huge financial failure and Microsoft spent years of creative accounting trying to hide the losses.

the entire Steve Ballmer era at Microsoft has been one gigantic rolling disaster, propped up by windows and office being endless money fountains. the new guy seems to be doing much better in at least not loving up as much as ballmer did. I bet we will never see another real Xbox.

they were the console leader during the 360 era, then they hosed all of that up by not putting the right ram in the console and also thinking that HDMI overlay paired with a cable box was a future (google did this like 7 years earlier with google tv and it failed miserably). they then put a non user replaceable hard drive while simultanously requiring that you install your 50gb games to said hard drive (after constantly ragging on sony for having done this with the ps3).

oh and then put a camera that nobody wants with the console that literally could not be unplugged* or they system would not work

*eventually removed in a software update despite saying it was impossible

ballmer era microsoft was basically defined by "never learn from your mistakes and always double down"

doesnt anroid re-render every layer of the UI every frame? like even if the background is covered up by a button or folder on the home screen, it still gets rendered, then the overlay happens

he also spends at least two paragraphs of every phone review either 1) whining about the lack of a headphone jack and damning apple for removing them or 2) praising the presence of a headphone jack and damning apple for taking them out

i got banned from commenting on the verge for calling nilay a moron because he said that the iphone 6 cpu was just as powerful as the a desktop processor because the geekbench scores were similar

yep, my loose understanding is zelle is similar to an ACH transfer but processed immediately and confirmed later. those are normally, at least i thought, fee-free, but zelle doesn't commit to that for all banks, so i'd guess it's partly built on the risk models banks have for each other for pre-approved check limits cross-bank before batch processing ACH transfers

its basically like handing someone cash which is why it has no ability to reverse transactions and is the preferred payment method of scammers everywhere
