The problem is that these ‘features’ give you the fake appearance of performance but at the cost of actual performance. And they aren’t even good in the first place. Upscaling is like smearing vaseline all over your screen and saying “see how good it looks” when it’s just a blurry mess, especially with temporal elements. Frame generation gives artificial smoothness but doesn’t help input latency which is the part of frame rate that actually matters.

The kicker is that it costs real frames to generate fake ones. The game ends up looking and feeling worse.

So I have to roleplay romance in my role playing game? I don’t play role playing games to play roles! /s

I have personally used an electric lighter for several years primarily for starting campfires. It’s definitely less convenient than a traditional lighter but totally works and doesn’t need any lighter fluid. I don’t personally feel comfortable carrying flammable fuels in my backpack, so electric was a good choice for me

US citizenship isn’t that much of a benefit these days anyway

Strongest on piano. I have dabbled a bit with accordion since a relative has one, beautiful instrument.

If you’re technical, you might be able to change out the chipset as WiFi+Bluetooth is usually on an M.2 2230 E-key board on most machines. But agreed that it is very annoying and this isn’t feasible for most regular users

One option you have is to import your organized files into Immich through the immich-cli. That will make sure it ends up in the intended file structure.

Should have said ‘included’ rather than ‘free’ since it is a paid service

Shortcut: blocking something the Doug Ford government wants - Good!

Haven’t been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven’t gotten rid of my old account yet

But how else could companies make more money off of something you already paid for? Will someone think of the shareholders‽

Going from your suggestions I was able to find a workaround to change the device’s state with just one click, so thank you for that.

For the second problem, it seems that while HA sends a command instantly, it only actually changes states on the dashboard once the device sensors update, which seems to be hard coded to happen about every 30 seconds. I am using an integration from HACS (Custom VeSync) though, so I feel like the problem is more likely to do with my own setup. Then again HA would previously just send the requested command no matter what the state was before…

Either way I’m not really familiar with Github beyond reading release notes and readmes.

Edit: Reading further into the integration I’m using, I realized that it relies on cloud polling. I wonder if there’s a way to make Home Assistant assume that a command went through, change states immediately, and then confirm the change with the next polling cycle, rather than just waiting. Unfortunately I don’t know how to implement something like this.

I do have one problem with the new humidifier cards. Some buttons got shuffled around and now turning a device off and on went from being a single click to three separate operations. Additionally, it is less reliable now, as it won’t send a turn on/off command instantly, rather only when the state of the device changes in HA. I don’t toggle them frequently, but when I do I want it to be fast. I’m sure there’s some workaround for it, but it just worked previously and now it just doesn’t.

What went wrong for you? I didn’t have any problems with the last one or this one so far (I use Z2M)

The reported numbers will be very inaccurate due to people not bothering to test any more. There will always be a surge during holidays, especially during the cold season.

Before getting Sponsorblock, I would always manually skip forward past the integrated advertisements. This tool does the exact same thing but faster and more convenient for me. My conscience is unaffected

Not sure if you’re serious, but as someone who graduated a US high school just a few years ago, yes young people actually do care about stupid things like this. Real otherwise completely normal seeming people discriminate based on bubble color.
