@kazitor Except that 2K refers to 2048x1080.
1080p is just 1080p. This shit ain't consistent.
-
Oh shit, I'd never heard of 2K being an existing slightly different resolution. Once again I pay the price of confidently asserting anything!

There's a price for that? I've never had to do that.

@pie_flavor Battle Royale ALL THE THINGS.
Also PUBG has a snow map soon.

Alright, officer, what seems to be the problem?
Wait, I was just in Settings...? Well, whatever, show me the needful!
Uh, sure.
Doobly doo....
Well that was productive.

@mott555 The moron part is for people who prefer 4k 60fps over 2K 120fps. The billionaire part is for people who can afford a >60Hz 4k monitor and a GPU that can output 4k at >60fps.
I don't think there are even any standards for 4k at greater than 60 fps. And my rig does 60fps 4k just fine as long as it isn't the Unity Engine.
And I hardly game anymore anyways, so it doesn't really matter.
-
@mott555 Right. 60fps, for the sort of high-tier gamer who cares about 4k, is bad.

I'm not falling for it, I know better... I washed my hands like twice... washing just doesn't take that off...
how bad could it be, though, really...
OW. WOW. THAT WAS STUPID.
Well, it's too late now. Just gonna have to ride this out...

I'm happy with my 16 FPS at 720p.

I got probably 2 specs of Carolina Reaper powder in my eye once. That was a very fun 15 minutes.
-
@anotherusername On the plus side, I ended up with 7 habanero poppers (7 whole habaneros).
For the filling, I used cream cheese, cheddar, a dash of garlic, a few pinches of chopped onion, the seeds/membranes from the habaneros themselves, some ghost pepper flakes, and some reaper powder. Wouldn't do to not have the filling be hot, after all...
So good!
(they're all gone now)

My monitors are 2048x1152. Consistency! :)

@anotherusername I had some of the spicy cream cheese left, so I had some on toast with a few extra sprinkles of reaper.

Hey there, asshole, if you have to drive a huge-ass pick-up, which is oh so practical in the city, would you mind configuring it correctly so that the headlights shine on the streets instead of my rear mirror? After standing in traffic (for which there apparently was no reason at all) for half an hour and getting blinded by a thousand suns, that started to really get on my nerves.
And oh look, it was a dodge, with a USA license plate. Who would have thought that?!Don't you have dimmer switch in your mirror?

It does that automatically. And was on. Still too fucking bright.
Also shining in the side mirrors.

Status: I have done nothing for the past six hours but play World of Light. And I think I've spent two of those trying to beat Dr. Wiley. How the fuck are you supposed to beat eight metal Mega Men with 100 stamina each? If I take Bowser and give myself extra stamina and super armor, and do nothing but side special, I still can't beat more than four of them.

Unsurprisingly, the DAC on this monitor is shit. I plugged in my in-ear headphones (which work perfectly fine) and nope, it's shit at the start. Bass response is basically nonexistent, and I can actually hear 60Hz interference from the mains!
Well, I didn't get it for listening to audio after all...

One of the things I did while getting everything running smoothly on this machine was disabling the nVidia sound interface in the Device Manager. On boot, Windows would reset the sound to it and to two speakers, rather than the internal sound and the 5.1 system I have attached to it. Did I mention I have two monitors connected by DVI and nothing via HDMI or DisplayPort?

I've got headphone jacks on my monitors. Every-time I update my video card drivers it resets all the sound settings and sets them as default.

Why?
Redundancy? Students implies countable and finite?
This seems too picky - I could think of all sorts of annoying uses for an infinite number of students for discussion purposes.

@sweaty_gammon there's this famous quote from a CEO of our local We Live Off Only From Goverment Contracts, Inc., that goes like "every developer can be replaced by a finite number of students".
