  • This was exactly my experience on the TV end. Prior to getting my LG OLED I had just experienced my family members bargain price 4k panels and did not think 4k was worth it. Then at my work we upgraded all of our QC tvs to LG OLEDs and the lead of team gave us a demo. The contrast and color difference in HDR on the top of the line OLED panel was amazing. Bought one a couple months later. My wife indulged me, but didn’t really care. Once it arrived and we watched a movie on it she was 100% sold. We both consider it one of our best big ticket purchases. Also told my coworkers about it and a few purchased some in the years following. They all love them as well.

    The only complaint I have about mine is how fire appears in HDR. The color is washed out and has some ghosting in dark scenes where it is the brightest object. Not a huge issue most of the time though.

    Also for OP, IMO high quality 4k OLED panel is only worth it if you watch a lot of cinematic content in that is produced in SDR or HDR. if you are just watching sports, news, or sitcoms most of the time I would not consider it worth it. I have advised my father against getting one for this exact reason.




  • Fully agree that we should be allowed to mod any of our technology to put on anything we want. My point was that Apple is being singled out for it when almost every company in the modern era does similar things.

    Windows is a proprietary OS, but it is designed to be licensed and run on any compatible hardware irregardless of who the hardware manufacturer is. You can even install it on an Apple computer. Apple’s OSes are only designed to run on Apple hardware. And then is given away with that hardware. They do not license it out for anyone to run on just any hardware.


  • If you are using wood food skewers, they are probably bamboo. While not a wood, bamboo is actually really hard. On the Janka hardness scale it rates well above food safe, non-exotic, hardwoods like oak and maple.

    Bamboo skewers are cheap, food safe, and available at almost any grocery store. They are one of my go to cleaning tools.

    Definitely don’t go with any wood from a piece of furniture or a random piece of wood if you are worried about ingesting tiny bits of the wood. Some species of wood can cause real issues for people due to their oils and some more exotic lumbers are actually toxic. Wood used in furniture? You have no idea what that was finished with or what kind of glue was used.


  • Having owned and used both iphones and android phones, l definitely see all of the issues presented in the lawsuit as valid. I just don’t understand how these charges are being brought up under antitrust laws.

    It’s not exactly like the microsoft antitrust suit from 2000ish, iOS is a proprietary operating system on a proprietary piece of hardware. Nintendo isn’t being hit with suits for not allowing me to play playstation games on my switch.

    If the government really sees an issue with this they should focus on creating a set of interoperability mandates much like the EU did.
