  • Yeah I had one such 47" “HD Ready” plasma that did 848x480p. The pixels were so large you could see them but 720p content still liked good on it, and DVDs looked even better than they did on an HDTV due to the similar resolution of 720x480 that they output at. They were so much sharper on a display close to their native resolution.


  • Remember when 1080i was a thing? Now it’s all but dead beyond broadcast and cable TV (which is pretty much dead).

    People used to say that 720p was better because it had a higher vertical resolution at any given moment due to being progressive scan, but IMO 1080i looked sharper for the most part unless there was a lot of motion in the scene. The resolution was high enough that the flickering from the interlaced images didn’t bother me. So I usually went with 1080i over 720p. Sports titles and games with a lot of action were the only time when I would go with 720p.





  • It’s common in the US too, given the mashup of different cultures here. I use a different accent depending on whether I’m talking to a black person, a white person, a Latino, a native American, etc. It’s called Code Switching and most people from around the world do it without even realizing it because everyone wants to fit in (however some of us with autism might think it’s silly and refuse; it really depends on the person as to whether or not you do it).


  • I feel like this mainly applies to Scottish people. I mean the mere fact that they spell the way they speak means that they’re aware that they’re pronouncing everything incorrectly, yet they still do the accent anyway.

    The way they have to put so much effort into every word they pronounce seems extremely tiring and stressful on the vocal cords; I wouldn’t blame them for dropping the act once they’re safe and sound at home.



  • I solved this problem by simply refusing to look at the clock when I get up in the middle of the night.

    Even if it means every in once in a while the alarm goes off the second I lay back down, it’s still a worthwhile tradeoff to remove the anxiety of calculating in my head how much sleep I still have left to do.


  • Thanks for letting me know. YT Music Morphe is s league above YT Music ReVanced, which hasn’t gotten any new features in forever.

    YT Morphe, on the other hand, only seems to be a marginal improvement. I don’t really notice much of a difference beyond minor improvements, even after combing through every setting. Return YouTube Dislike is still broken for Shorts, but at least the ads are gone again.

    But anyway thanks again for telling me about it.











  • Edit: Well they could have worded “accounts are required to access old reddit” a lot better.

    I’m actually okay with this if it means more people get to check out old reddit. That said, I’m a bit confused: why is reddit now requiring all accounts to log into old reddit? I thought they wanted everyone using the new site? Did they have a change of heart? It’s kind of odd to force people to visit the old site to login now, you know?

    Furthermore, why are you looking at new reddit to begin with? I go directly to the old.reddit URL so I never see messages like this (they only pop up if you’re on new reddit). If it was unintentional, you can use Old Reddit Redirect to solve that problem.
