  • I want to light up a small room to make it seem like a sunny day. But 5k bulbs just seem harsh.

  • Temperature doesn't necessarily equate with lumens. I prefer closer to 2700K (warm), as once you pass 3000-5000 it's just a very harsh white, but a higher number of lumens (depending on space 1500+). Also you need to consider the way you want your light projected. A direct beam can be good for focused work but can cause some harsh shadows. Using up lights or wall washes can give you the reflected light that makes the room seem more lit without harsh shadows.

    Edit: something else to consider is CRI (color reproduction index). Try to find 90+ bulbs as those will ensure the colors it lights up look true to their originals. Makes a big difference especially if you're painting.

  • Easy to confuse stupidity with malice. They're chasing one thing and one thing only: the almighty dollar. Look at it through that lens and their actions make sense. For the rest of us though, that's just stupid.

  • YouTube Premium quietly goes up in price to $14 per month | That's a significant $2 increase with no official announcement.

  • Maybe mentally I've already been hit with inflation, but $2 and "significant increase" do not tie out to me.

  • I did that as a kid in school passing notes!

  • Washington is considering replace gas tax with controversial pay-per-mile program

    Jump

  • Existing gas taxes also affect them in this way then. They pay for the gas tax used and they're not driving on public roads, so that seems to be a wash.

  • Washington is considering replace gas tax with controversial pay-per-mile program

    Jump

  • That makes sense to some degree, given that the taxes were meant for maintenance of roads. However the per mile tax should also be a sliding value based on vehicle weight as that increases damage to the road. So a light car going a few miles wouldn't be taxed as heavily as a truck going a long distance since it wouldn't damage the roads the same way. Though at the point you've thrown out any incentive for more fuel efficient ICE powerplants.

  • For a split second I thought this was for Sync and went to search for it on the store.

  • What are the age ranges for various generic age descriptors, eg, "ancient" "elderly" "old" "young"?

    Jump

  • I heard a teenager describing a 40 year old as "elderly". Context matters.

  • Hollywood announce that they're producing The Meme Movie. What do you think would be the worst scenes of the film?

    Jump

  • Didn't they already do that with the Emoji movie?

  • A fight erupts in U.S. housing market as deteriorated affordability clashes with the 'lock-in effect'

    Jump

  • I miscalculated at 9% which is $4,023. Which is within $200 of the value. Regardless though my statement still stands. 6 interest points yields almost a 50% cut in buying power. Any of the other levers can tweak it but the core of the premise remains the same.

    Jump

  • Saw this in a news article: The monthly principal payments on a $1M note at 3% is equal to the monthly payments of a $500,000 note at 9%.

    So a 6% jump in interest rate effectively halves your buying power. Of course people aren't going to sell their houses if they don't have to.

    Edit: got my percentages 1 point off.

  • You can change it once connected, but every time it defaults back to LDAC

  • Publicly traceable and verifiable hashes of the images authenticity. Submitting a hash of the image can prove who submitted it and when and then any altering of the image would yield a different hash which you would know you're not looking at the original image.

  • I know Blockchain is always in search of a solution, but is this one place where it may work? Take a hash of the image and store that hash in a chain, that way you can always hash the image and see if it's been altered?

  • Side by side test with my headphones showed better speration of the range (including bass) and a more solid connection, especially while flying. Kept having LADC constantly try to bitrate switch on me, and when I set it on highest quality it kept cutting in and out at times. Sample size of 1 so YMMV.
