It takes 2 frames and tries to put an intermediate frame between them. It doesn't try to remove motion blur from existing frames. That's NEVER gonna work.
Nonono, I'm going to shoot it at 48 FPS so you're fucked, fucked, fucked!
If you want to distribute it you'll need to pick 24 FPS, fuck it to 30 FPS, or fuck it to 60 FPS!
Oh, you picked the sane choice of 24 FPS? Well, if you want to PLAY it, take that 24 FPS and then fuck it to 30 or 60 in the player, then feed that to the TV, which will fuck it to 120 not by doubling / quadrupling it, but by adding extra shit in!
You think you're clever and have a BR player that handles 24 FPS output cleanly and a TV that will properly quintuple that to 120 FPS? Fuck you! I'm going to make a new shitty fucking movie about giant city tanks!!
Your LG OLED will have multiple display settings profiles.
You can set one up for general content and turn all that shit off. You can set another up for content where you do want it on.
Just hit the settings button on the remote, then change the picture mode to turn it on/off as appropriate.
On your LG OLED, pretty much the only feature you should enable is dynamic contrast, set to low. It gives non-Dolby Vision HDR content dynamic tone mapping, and makes shittyily-mastered HDR10 content (like many early HDR-enabled games) watchable.
Hangouts was their best app, it did everything, and it could have been updated to do more / support better codecs / etc. But they kept neutering it.
We went from Hangouts to:
Messages, for SMS Allo, for other text chat Duo, for video chat Chat, which is a clone of Hangouts but with more bullshit and less functionality Hangouts, which hasn't completely gone away because because it works, works on the web, is built into their "Google Apps for Business/Education / G Suite / Whatever New Name" thing, and is the only one people actually use
Hey Google, give me $10,000,000, a small team of code slaves, and I'll fix this all for you within a year.
Spoiler: It's "Hangouts", it supports SMS (fallback and explicit), it supports the stupid assistant but it's off by default, it supports group SMS and falls back to spamming people individually if they don't support that shit, and it supports end to end encryption (okay, okay, we'll bake in the Google spyware, put down the jumper cables). It works on the web, including redirecting SMS to / from the web client from / to a preferred linked device. We'll update it to support new video and audio codecs too. And we'll even add in a search function so people don't have to use the awful Gmail search to find things from their chats (which only gives you results a single damned line at a time).
1: There are plenty of idiots who work for negative money. They do so because they don't realize that they're paying for the increased maintenance and wear on their car. The cost is externalized to the point that they don't realize it exists.
2: They are stupid and / or lying. Go ahead and look up any internet article on the subject. Further, taxi medallions are hugely profitable. Buying into one after Uber / Lyft came into the scene and eschewed all the laws would have been moronic and a huge loss. But actual owners of those medallions are still making obscene amounts of money.
The only way to "work the system" is to get a ton of tips (Uber didn't even let people tip via the app for the longest time, and were shamed into allowing it), or drive for both Uber and Lyft at the same time and pickup double / fake fares when Uber / Lyft are handing out free rides to customers. This was a huge scam recently, and it was reported even here on Slashdot.
As usual, you don't know shit. Now I see why that AC troll goes around posting all that shit about you.
Uber and Lyft are dead if their drivers actually get paid. Currently, drivers for both Uber and Lyft make negative money if they have to pay for fuel or vehicle maintenance.
Modern Android is Google "apps and services" (spyware) on top of Java (but don't call it Java or else we'll get sued - we wrote a compatible API from scratch and just reused the signatures, OKAY?), on top of Linux on top of shitty Qualcomm SoCs that, for some reason, require a support contract for the OEM / Google / carrier to update the Linux OS or system services running on top of it, jammed into a case with inadequate heatsinks and no way to cool the thing so it overheats and throttles almost instantly.
And if you get an Android device that isn't a Nexus^W Pixel, you ALSO get spyware/bloatware installed by the OEM. And if you get it through your carrier you ALSO get their shit injected too.
Android needs to be scrapped at this point.
1: Ditch the Java approach. I don't care if you don't call it Java. I don't care if your JVM is better than Oracle's / IBM's / whatever. Ditch Java. Run native.
0: Did the last bit above scare you? It should have! Secure your fucking shit and that means isolating processes properly and giving users transparent control over applications! Notice how I labeled this one 0 and not 1?
2a: Tell Qualcomm to fuck off. If their shit doesn't come with 5 years of firmware/driver support for the SoC and various other bits they produce, screw em. Samsung is eager to step forward and will commit to updates if for no other reason than the fact that their phones run their shit (in certain markets). Alternatively, Intel is always desperate for a shot at entering the mobile market, and Google can outright buy almost whatever ARM design / designer it wants.
2b: Tell OEMs to fuck off. Android is already locked down hard and tight (Android is NOT AOSP), and OEMs have to sign away their souls to get the latest version or to market their shit as the first "Android <Stupid Dessert Name>" device or to include the Play Store & Google's apps and services. Tell them they need 5 years of timely security updates or they can fuck right on off to the Kindle Phone landfill. Tell them that all bloatware and modifications have to be fully uninstallable by users.
2c: Tell carriers to fuck off. No preinstalled bloatware at ALL! If a user wants whatever shitty carrier app you're trying to infect them with, let them download it from the store. Also tell carriers to fuck off regarding updates. Updates should come from update.android.com , not the carrier. If OEMs want to provide updates for their specific shit (their app that supports 22 cameras or their butthole scanner or whatever else) let them push it via the store. If they need a lower level firmware/driver update to support that specific shit, let them submit it to Google for review, certification, and inclusion via update.android.com (like WHQL,but actually review them and do so in a timely manner).
3: Give users control. Users should be able to manually install apps, drivers, firmware, and updates from anywehre if they accept the risks. Maybe Google's slow at approving an update for your phone's 22 camera shit. Maybe we're 10 years in the future and update.android.com is dead / incomplete / hostile . Users should be able to flash custom images. Users should be able to get root access. Users should be able to perform a FULL backup and restore with or without root access. Users should not have to look for hacks or exploits to do what they want with their hardware or figure out how to not blow e-fuses. Samsung Knox and Google Safety Net can fuck right off. If I root my phone, I can't use the app for my bank. Yet I can do everything that app does, and more, from the browser by going to my bank's website and logging in.
I'd rather have 12 isolated VMs than 1 VM with 12 containers, or any amalgamation adding up to 12 containers. Storage is cheap. Memory isn't, but a minimal Linux install to support your software stack isn't exactly a big overhead in that regard. The only real benefit it brings is having fewer servers (physical or virtual) to manage/update, but you'll still have at least one, so either deal with it or script it.
Of course I'm only concerned about crashes with other cars. Crashes with fixed objects are apples-to-apples when comparing safety ratings. I'm specifically talking about how the safety ratings only use vehicles in the same "class" for certain tests, and these are typically the scenarios you have no control over (some jackass slamming into you).
In the scenario you describe, the massive vehicle's engine would be much more likely to slow down by crushing your engine, then run up the body and end up sitting nicely on top of your cabin, which has absorbed a huge amount of energy to break intentionally-weak welds, twist flexing beams, and otherwise slightly deform while keeping the passengers safely inside with minimal change in their protected space.
Wrong. You don't understand. I take it you don't live in an "urban" area. These clowns lift their already-too-tall trucks and SUVs up an extra 6 inches. Their mass is simply ABOVE your crumple zones, in line with your head.
Safety ratings are a joke because they don't control for the mass of the car in the way most people would expect.
The * rating often neglects what you're up against. 5* don't mean shit when you're colliding with something that's 3 times your mass, or even just the same mass, but taller (by default, or lifted up by some jackass) so their engine just slides up your hood and into your face.
Hillary's campaign manager fell for an obvious, Apple-themed phishing email and gave up his iCloud credentials which were then leveraged to get more shit.
Over 2 years later, that's all we have any actual evidence of.
Olive Garden is cheap, especially on weekdays at lunch. The breadsticks are great (because they're fucking warm garlic breadsticks) and some of the soups are decent. Fuck salad. They have a couple of pasta dishes I like, but they're nothing special. But by the time the actual food comes, who cares? You should be 3 baskets of breadsticks deep at that point, asking the server to just grate the cheese into your mouth because you won't be using your arms any more.
Plenty of restaurants go out of business. Even popular ones. Popularity has little to do with restaurant longevity. Real estate is by far the bigger concern.
A shitty restaurant no one goes to will stay there forever if they own the building and lot, or are friends with / fucking whoever does. A restaurant that's too successful will often draw extra attention from whomever owns the building or lot. They'll get hit with huge rent increases and all their success will be bled away.
Slashdot Mirror
That's not what happens at all.
It takes 2 frames and tries to put an intermediate frame between them.
It doesn't try to remove motion blur from existing frames. That's NEVER gonna work.

Correct, it's the lighting.
Most people won't notice the the difference between film and video framerates, even with pulldown / judder.

Bullshit. You've got a blurred frame, another blurred frame, then a blurred blur of those two blurred frames jammed between them.
Chat has more functionality than Hangouts in the same way Slack has more functionality than IRC.
Fuck Chat.
Wasn't hangouts a direct Gchat replacement at the beginning?
Hangouts was their best app, it did everything, and it could have been updated to do more / support better codecs / etc.
But they kept neutering it.

As usual, you don't know shit. Now I see why that AC troll goes around posting all that shit about you.
You can literally go ahead and look it up, or ask anyone who has driven for Uber or Lyft. The "gig economy" is almost always a scam.
The official Bittorrent client has had ads for a long time.
Didn't Fox buy Last Man Standing? (So, you can't be "finishing" it because more will be made.)
