There's a gothic joke in here somewhere too

I'm pro-Green but I'm not sure about this guy yet. But he might not even be leader by the time of the next general election.

Carswell hit back against Afzal's comment - not to deny inciting racial hatred but instead to note that he cannot be prosecuted because he now lives in the US.

"I live under the protection of a free Republic where free speech is protected and your courts have not held jurisdiction in 249 years, Mr Afzal," Carswell declared.

I thought Tizen was cool, though I never used it.

Is it possible to choose an exit node? Because if the exit node's in UK, it presumably doesn't help with the geoblocking aspect.

Games, posters, and singles in the basement. Albums on the ground floor. DVDs and classical upstairs. It was fun just to look through stuff, but I think I did actually buy all my music and a lot of my game boy games from HMV.

Technically IP law covers patents, trademarks, copyright, and designs (sometimes also called design patents). Patent protection is 20 years (plus a little bit extra under certain conditions. Trademarks is indefinite in theory. Copyright (in many jurisdictions) is 70 yrs after death or 50 yrs for certain works (e.g., music recordings). Designs, I'm not really sure.

A lot of OLEDs can't hit 400 nits, though, right? [Edit: maybe not for sustained brightness, but peak brightness they can?]

In his previous video, he said that if you don't play in a dark room, the second setting for paper white should target 250 or 300 nits instead of 200, so if you play in a lit room, you should be using more clicks for the second screen (but I don't know how many).

Didn't know about Syria's flag change

This is so engrossing. I've made it to chapter 77 while "working". What a story.

Awesome, thanks. I appreciate my budget doesn't give much to work with. I did already think about this one for a while - there are loads of 1000R out there, but I thought it might be a bit much, so would prefer a shallower curve. The AW has better ports and is probably going to have better HDR as well. It's still in the shortlist.

I did wonder how likely it is that the S2 would even be able to max out its display output. If MKW is 1440p @ 60, that might be the ceiling in practice (at that resolution, at least).

 

I don't have a Switch 2 yet, but I wanted to upgrade my screen and would like it to be future-proof for a Switch 2 when I inevitably get one.

According to the specs, docked output can be HDR and it can do 120Hz @ 1080p and 1440p and 4K60. Output at best uses either HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 (it's ambiguous).

Has anyone who's got an HDR-capable monitor comment on whether the HDR is noticeable from what you've seen so far and if HDR gets output regardless of refresh rate? There's a 1440p monitor in my budget that is HDR400 certified that goes up to 120Hz and beyond, but I've also read that the max refresh rate the monitor can handle a 10-bit signal at is 60Hz (not sure if beyond that it does 8-bit + FRC or just doesn't support HDR). I'm not sure if this is perhaps overkill for a Switch 2 or whether I still have scope for a monitor that will make better use of the S2's output.

 

Who would've thought that with the money pumped into a few top Saudi clubs and hosting all the games from the QFs onwards in Saudi, that Saudi clubs would dominate?

Well done to Kawasaki, though. I doubt they'll go any further.

 

PSA there's a big sale on the eshop until April 27. Quite a few first-party titles with a 33% discount and others with bigger discounts. I picked up Portal 1 & 2 for about £3, it really is good.

I also discovered https://www.dekudeals.com/ recently - it tracks prices over time so you can see how good the current discount is and physical/digital from different retailers.

 

I gave it a look because it's been in the news a bit and friends gave it the thumbs up. It's a bit heavy, but not overwhelmingly so, and I enjoyed it. I'm not sure I'd put it up there as a great bit of TV, but certainly the message about what kids have to go through these days is interesting.

 

Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured.

 

All matches from QF onwards hosted in Saudi Arabia, single leg (new format this year)

 

Sanfrecce Hiroshima won the first leg 6-1, but were found to have fielded a player who was serving a suspension in Asian competition due to his actions at his previous club. It was turned into a 3-0 win for Lion City Sailors, who managed a 1-1 draw at home in the second leg. Just AFC things.
