Ominous

So we just got ATSC here in the Detroit market, so now the major networks are broadcasting in HEVC rather than just MPEG2.  I was excited hoping for less compression in sports and that sort of thing, not expecting them to broadcast anything in 4K....but for now at least it just means they can cut their bandwidth from 12 or so Mbps down to around 3 to 4 Mbps.

Maybe now they can fit even more sub channels with movies from the 70s and 80s that nobody will watch! 

Anyone else in a market with ATSC 3 that has the equipment to view it experienced anything different? 

The Preload is up on Steam.

Coffee 

Draw so cute 

Twins and toys 

And 8 more garbage things my kids watch.

Finally a proper “after” photo. Blue balls are cured. Also your kitchen looks fucking amazing!

Thanks...but...

I veto'd all these colors thankfully. 

Almost done now. Still need to paint, install the kitchen faucet after we work on replacing some of the plumbing, and install new light fixtures.

Preloaded and waiting!

No preload on Steam so far, but it should only take a few minutes to download.

They explain it in the beginning: they’re attempting to see what GPU you need to for PS5 details/performance.

Makes sense then. 

Why are was all the exa

PS5/XSX are basically using max PC graphical fidelity settings - except in a couple oddball areas and above what’s possible on PC in one area.

This confirms that the only difference with quality vs performance modes on PS5/XSX is that it doesn’t scale resolution and caps to 30fps. If you don’t mind the resolution scale, keep your 60fps on your next gen console  

Why are they using old budget GPUs in that?

Yikes. And of those 61%, how many are going to only take the first dose and say "eh, good enough," and then not be immune but act like they are?

All them anti-vaxxer moms putting men into the lead. 

Maybe we'll get this life expectancy thing back in our favor.

It's usually pretty obvious once it hits your lips but before it gets into your mouth.

You're not supposed to dunk your hands in the coffee Eric.

How can I tell if it's too hot or too cold?

Depends how much coffee I'm drinking. I work from home so I don't really worry about germs.

Adding code blues to make shift patient rooms because they are over run with covid patients.

Crazy. Here they check your temp and all sorts of shit just to walk in.

This thread reminds me I need some work sweatpants. 

But can he walk down a ramp?

Don't love the lack of hood on your stove, but I do LOVE that you seem to have a plancha as your middle burner on your stove. That must come in so clutch.

There is a room on the other side of the kitchen, so venting it outside would have much more challenging sadly.  And it's pretty handy for makin bacon pancakes.

Oh and we have countertops now.

Backsplash coming soon.
