Didn't know about Syria's flag change

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

Switch 2 docked output in c/nintendo@lemmy.world
[–] ladel@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

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).

Okay, sure. Don't spend too much time on it, though, because I'm sure I'll end up happy with whatever I get.

I was planning to get this Samsung G50D for £242. My reasonable shopping list includes 32-inch screen, wide viewing angles (so probably IPS), a height-adjustable stand since I'll use it for some office work as well and might move it about, [edit: and 1440p]. Preferably I'd like to keep it below £300.

Awesome, thank you. All good to know. I know HDR400 is the lowest, but much of the other things I'm looking at in the same price range don't have any certification, they just support HDR10 in some way. If I could find HDR500/600 for a small price premium, I could go for it.

Ah, okay! Thanks. I'd still find any comments on general HDR output interesting, though.

Switch 2 docked output (feddit.uk)
 

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.

Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] ladel@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

The new “BritCard” would be used to check on an individual’s right to live and work in Britain, with senior No 10 figures examining the proposal, The Times has reported.

The card, stored on a smartphone, would reportedly be linked to government records and could check entitlements to benefits and monitor welfare fraud.

I'm not against what it's trying to achieve, but will it achieve that and isn't there a less expensive or better way to do it?

Starmer says no [Scottish] independence referendum while he is prime minister in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] ladel@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No PM is really going to want to agree to one. It's going to take a lot of pressuring and strong SNP showings in both parliaments to get to a stage where a PM considers it.

Yeah, they're definitely the same thing

In the United States, Tefal is marketed as T-fal.[6] This is to comply with DuPont's objection that the name "Tefal" was too close to DuPont's trademark "Teflon".[1] The T-fal brand is also used in Canada[7] and Japan.[8][9]

I was warching somebody yesterday say that since Cadbury was bought by Kraft and Dairy Milks are no longer milky. I really didn't notice it if that's true, but then again, I eat a Dairy Milk on average once every few years.

WTF is this ad in my recording app in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

I've seen ads like this for Temu (Teemu?) where they have a bunch of seemingly random products and I actually want to click it to find out what they are.

Asian Champions League QF results (all games hosted as a single leg in Saudi Arabia) (infosec.pub)
 

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.

There's something cool about getting a Japanese card, isn't there?

Anyone picked up something good in the Easter sale? (feddit.uk)

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.

Secret mission: Shiny Museum 5 (infosec.pub)
 

Annoyed that I got a duplicate, but I didn't know these missions existed. I wonder if there are secret missions where you have to get two of the other shiny ex cards?

How are people getting on in vs ranked mode? (feddit.uk)
 

I was originally targeting Great Ball Rank 1 for the 50 hourglasses reward, but actually it's easier than I thought and I'll try for Ultra Ball Rank 1. I'm just using my Blaine deck, with a win rate of 51%, but I made it to Great Ball Rank 4 today.

I've noticed that if I'm struggling at a certain level, if I wait a day or two and try again, it feels much easier. Presumably the better players/decks are moving up to the better ranks and it's just the worse players like me who are left behind, making it easier to win games again.

There may be a new feature/event coming that lets you peek at one card in some wonder picks before making your choice (www.pokemon-zone.com)
 

I'm not sure of the maths, but chances would increase from 20% chance to get the card you want to ... 40%? It would be nice if it was for all wonder picks, but will have to wait for an official announcement to see how it's going to work.

Just updated the app - looks like ranked matches are coming (tomorrow?) (feddit.uk)
 

Manually updated the app and it downloaded some data, probably related to the new set. Wonder pick has had a bit of a visual change as well. If you can't see the new set tomorrow, go and update it manually
