I bought this right after it’s available, I like the screen but the Asus OSD is barely tolerable and I have to grow my patience because of it

Can't you avoid the OSD if you control it with DCC?

OSD ?

On screen display

thanks (and i should have thought of that...mea culpa)

Once you transmitted, you’re exposed so the authority can find you sooner or later

Well yes but you could of course choose not to stay at the location you transmit from.

I’m no expert but this sounds like a digital version of the anamorphic lens/system, doesn’t it?

It is.

Some modern films are still filmed with anamorphic lenses because the director / DP like that, and so we in the VFX industry have to deal with plate footage that way, and so have to deal with non-square pixels in the software handling the images (to de-squash the image, even though the digital camera sensor pixels that recorded the image from the lens were square) in order to display correctly (i.e. so that round circular things still look round, and are not squashed).

Even to the degree that full CG element renders (i.e. rendered to EXR with a pathtracing renderer) should really use anisotropic pixel filter widths to look correct.

Yes, and when working with footage shot with anamorphic lenses one will have to render the footage as non-square pixels, mapped to the square pixels of our screens, to view it at its intended aspect ratio. This process is done either at the beginning (conforming the footage before sending to editorial / VFX) or end (conforming to square pixels as a final step) of the post-production workflow depending on the show.

I was also on the verge of installing OBI to troubleshoot networking issue on one of our clusters. So maybe next time there’s a similar incident

This is my experience as well, the RFCs turn out are being made for internal processes and policy making. And also I have the feeling that people are making it like Request for Approval for technical changes, so we have to take significantly more time on the RFCs than the real work.

Buy two Yubikeys and save your passkeys there if you would

And heat the whole house in parallel

I know because I hqte iPhone keyboard so much, and the calculator app. I wish there’s an alternative timeline where we still have Palm keyboard with big screen

If you're OK with a ridiculously tall phone: https://www.clicks.tech/

Unfortunately it turns the iPhone into a lever that is always trying to launch itself from your hand. The iPhone part is much heavier than the keyboard part. And the ergonomics of the camera control become impossible (unless you have enormous salad fingers or something).

What are "salad fingers"? Lettuce discuss it more.

There's no alternative calculators or keyboards on iOS? (I don't have an Apple device to check on so I genuinely don't know)

I love the Panecal app, can recommend if you can handle looking geeky while using it

SwiftKey PCalc

you're welcome :)

Security team in most of the corporates is just a bunch of checklists markers, so for zscaler, crowdstrike or whatever they’re doing for compliance and/or certification and you can’t say no to it because it’s the company policy and who know better than “security” team?

The problem I have with them is they are a no-talent crowd who enjoy pushing everyone around.

This is 100% true.

Their adblock shamming overlay is also blocking part of the screen (on mobile) by the way

Don't see that overlay on fennec + adblock, what are you using?

brave seems to have some special sauce since it appears to be able to hide the fact that ads were removed. I am guessing they are doing so without triggering dom events.
