It was a Q90T bought in October of 2020. I also remembered another issue, after I replaced the TV with an LG, I started using it with a gaming laptop so my friend and I could play games on PC together. But we had nights were we spent an whole hour trying to get the TV to recognize the Laptop's output. Sometimes it'd work, other nights it would refuse, and it got worse over time. I hate that TV with a fiery passion, it cost so much money and it was not worth it, not even close. The prior TV I had was a Sony top of the the line in 2007, and it was immaculate, lasted until 2020 when I replaced it.

I'll never buy another Samsung TV. I bought a top of the line LCD/LED TV in late 2020 and it had so many weird issues:

It had frame rate issues with some streaming devices. It was widely reported as an issue in the Samsung forums, but it was never fixed.

The interface wasn't user friendly, taking many many more button presses to switch Inputs than any other TV I've had.

The grid of LEDs that were supposed to turn on and off to help make dark spots darker ended up being distracting, you could clearly see when one or two of the LEDs turned on, causing an area to get highlighted by comparison.

Nope, never again, I bought an nice LG OLED and it's great, build quality, UI, responsiveness, picture quality.

Being born in the 80s, I was told I was born in the nineteen hundreds. It didn't feel great.

We didn't catch the fact that the rubble covered stove in the cafeteria early on works. So we never found a way to cook food, eventually we found another oven, but it was broken and we had no idea where to get the parts to repair it. We went back to the beginning to cook food, but the logistics of trying to haul things with our limited inventories back and forth to get food and also explore became unfun so we quit.

My friend and I tried to get into Abiotic Factor, I love the setting, I love the premise, but we had a very difficult time getting a foot hold where we were just dying of starvation over and over. I need to circle back and try the game again, the same thing happened with Subnautica, took a few tries to get enough momentum to get established and have fun exploring.

It's too bad JD Vance won't be joining the Couch Mile High Club on Air Force 2.

Oh Hi-Rez you trash company. You ruined one of my favorite franchises of all time, not once, but twice with Tribes Ascend, and Tribes 3.

I miss multiplayer in PC games being done by joining a server and playing. No match making bullshit, it was fun to be in a server with a mixture of skill levels. As compared with a lot of game snow, when ever your skills improve, you just get thrown into a harder tier of match making until you reach your limit and burn out.

The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

Elon is such a weirdo.

Always saying the quiet part out loud.

It's predatory, and even worse, will prevent some people from healing through grief. The future kinda sucks.

Just as the company who's offering the service is motivated by the all consuming need to make money, so to is the journalist strives to make click bait to drive revenue. So the wheel turns.

This service is creepy as hell though, anything that's literally a black mirror episode should probably be reconsidered as a product or service.

 

I'm not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.
