My latest 'free' computer motherboard has an i7-6700K, with integrated graphics. I tried to run Resolve 20 but it complained about my not having a real GPU. I ended up getting an Intel Arc B580 for around $300, which I thought was

It's important to build on solid foundations, rather than on faulty assumptions. My experience is the standard medical approach to lung problems is basically wrong. There was a submission ~6 years ago about using ethanol to sanitize pe

I was looking at used video cards to use with Davinci Resolve, then I noticed that Intel's latest GPU was a good value. Last week I bought an Intel Arc B580 card. What's the problem with Apple's .mov files and DaVinci? I just

Years ago I read a comment here sharing how they'd taken to wearing amber glasses when walking at night, so they could be protected against the excessively-blue LED streetlights in their neighborhood. I bought amber safety glasses. The

Halogen bulbs do dim out as they age. The most common problem with modern headlights is the plastic covers get oxidized (cloudy) due to sun exposure. The cloudyness blocks some of the light from the bulbs, and scatters the rest. https:&#x2

Human eyes are hypersensitive to blue-white light, but the old lighting science found that orange-yellow light is best for humans in a low-light environment.

I saw a car with terrible headlights, so I started a recording to see if there was flicker (which sometimes indicates that they're aftermarket). The light turned green, the car pulled forward & leveled out, and the headlights becam

My theory is the manufacturers' marketing departments went to the engineers and said "we can't sell cars with safe headlights anymore, please make the next model's headlights seem brighter than they actually are." B

I’m not sure what you mean. This submission had fallen to the second page, without any substantial comments. Are the HN comments cautioning about Tylenol now invalid because President Trump shared the same sentiments? Defending Tylenol seem

There is no row over Tylenol: there are comments on HN going back for at least 13 years how this drug would probably not be approved if an application was submitted today. I've joked that if you're an old person trapped in a nursi

Iirc the mild poisons in nightshades trigger the learned helplessness response in people who are on the jagged edge of sobriety. I think I remember where I read this - check your protonmail address.

Nightshades are problematic for stressed and old people because the plants have mild poisons. Old people and addicts tend to not be able to handle the poisons in tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and chilis. But for people that are nightshade-t

At least he gave credit to HN, so the diaspora could find the source. The article is interesting. I think more needs to be said about how our eyes perceive color w.r.t. led lighting.

Apparently the low light performance of the full-frame Sonys is a combination of IBIS (mechanical in-body image stabilization) and Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) sensors. The Sony A6600 (APC) has IBIS, the A6700 adds BSI. Other camera manufact

Aspartame (1965) was approved by the US FDA in 1974/1981. This is commonly paired with acesulfame-K (1967) to provide sweetness in low-calorie drinks and sodas. Saccharin (1879) was the first artificial sweetener, followed by cylcamate
