Go back far enouph we are all not native. We are all immigrants from Africa as far as I know.

Great. Any time someone has a successful business that supports Linux somehow it is just terrible. I always wonder if these are these real people or just FUD from competitors trying to make Linux support undesirable. Sure I prefer FOSS, but I’m also happy there is some commercial game support. Maybe I’ll use it some day, maybe I won’t.

In an absolute sense, no. In a behavioral sense anyone who cannot define what is enough will never have enough. In this sense we have a lot of high income poor in the us including billionaires.

I just install HomeAssistant. Seems like a good choice.

If your talking about true research, has AI actually changed much yet. Go to a research library and use their professional search tools and people. Then read.

Life is more complex. I do not live in a society that ia that socialiatic. I worked 26 years then said FU and probably will not work again. Money is more or less meaningless now. How is that different?

On the otherhand, my grad school was 100% paid but I also worked hard. I did not do it to make money nor did I need to work to pay for it.

Just pointing out money is less of a motivator then one might think.

It is not. Subscribe to the feeds you want the view only subscribed. There are several views.

Not against AI. I use it quite a lot. I also find amusement when it tells me things that are just wrong in a very sure way. So never fully trust AI. If you accept that then AI can be quite useful.

Not at all. The Volt is great. No major issues. Not sure why your loosing your shit over something you seem to know nothing about.

Over bloan. Software does not age but security does. Other things that do not age well is specialty tech hardware components. Batteries are a question too.

I know my volt at 10 years does not have a viable oem battery replacement (back ordered and nutty price). I can get a reasonable after market battery though.

The primary reason to use Lemmey is decentralization and avoidance of Reddit enshitification. Lot of Lemmey blocks shit show lemmey nodes though I am sure they exist.

Yes good analogy. Just my guess. Been a long time since I actually worked in the field.

There are various designs of backlights. They typically have a stack of loose components in an assembly. By loose I mean not totally fixed but not too free. They have to free float enought that temperature changes do not cause issues. They also have to not stick, warp, or buckle over time. Harder to engineer then you might think.

So consider what might happen if for example the top backlight film might buckle some then stick to the back of the lcd. The film might deform which would change its optical properties. Then later thermal cycling might cause release. It might do same elsewhere.

Not saying this is mechanism, but just example.

Edit: Keep in mind the LCD is glass, and the backlight components are plastic. Very different thermal expansion coefficients. Then add LED or CCFL lighting and you have a big changing heat source. Add on top of that humidity changes too.

Backlight I think. Probably film pack warp / buckle / wetout. Just a guess.

Edit: Worst part looks kind of like a wrinkle.

Sounds to me like the backlight behind the LCD. They have components which could potentially sag, stick, or warp. White screen is probably best way to see. Also look at various angles. May be more visible at some angles then others.

Hard to unsee. I know this feeling. I used to work in the industry years ago. Displays are never perfect and hard to unsee things once you see them especially when it was part of your job.

See the edit to my comment. If not sharp, could be warping of films in backlight.

That is an interesting one. LCDs as far as I know do not usually burn in and if it is moving then it is not really that anyway.

I will interested what others come up with?

Edit: Is sharp or gradual. Might be warping of films in the backlight for example if not sharp. Just a thought.

There was a time when I looked at LCD screens I saw all the defects.

One of:

• Thank you and if good learn somthing. Asquestions.

• I know, if I know this.

• I do not want to hear it, if it is repetative garbage.

Anyone who is not cautious in choosing a partner for the next 60 or 70 years is nuts. This is probably the most important decision you will ever make. We are almost 30 years in and it is great but it was not easy to find someone. Not sure it is comittment exactly. More finding someone that wants a long term partner and that you both like each other and can stand each other over the long run and are heading in a similar direction in this complex world. Lot of people do not seem to know the difference between lust and love too.
