  • if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

    Ehh not really. That’s kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

    “It could be possible with some changes” the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I’m not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it’s definitely possible one does, but that’s not a guarantee at all

    “RTFM” My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as “prepare the chicken” and aren’t at all clear what they mean, unless you’ve seen someone do it first, but it’s published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like “1 can” which just drives me insane as though that’s a standard unit.

    There’s also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. “Chop” parsley - how finely? “Mix the ingredients” how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?




  • It’s available but not flourishing last I checked. Just to be clear I’m not denigrating it at all, I desperatelywant it to flourish. I pay for nebula, too, as well as patreon for many of my preferred creators, in the hopes that they can explore alternatives to YouTube. Hell, I pay for floatplane and dropout too, as much as I hate the fractured environment it’s creating, I want the most direct way to support the content I watch, but YouTube is almost certainly still my most watched platform












  • Not impossible at all, but there would be similar judder without some compensation. It’s pretty normal for 144hz monitors to support being driven at 60fps, but it’s pretty abnormal for a 60hz monitor to advertise 48 or 24fps via edid. Most modern 60+hz TVs are perfectly capable of doing so, though.

    Either way, that’s one reason I’m very happy with the 240hz wave that seems to be going on. You can display 24 and 60 fps content simultaneously with no judder, as well as even higher frame rate content.

    That combined with the popularity of VRR and free/g sync makes me even more optimistic for people to see just about everything the way it was meant to be seen
