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.

By the way, the president does not decide policy. That is congress in the US. The president administers policy. So the number one thing is follow rhe constitution and the law and the spirit of the law. Sadly thw current administration cannot even meet this low bar.

Fix the deficit. Pay down the debt. Stabalize and reverse the erosion of the middle class.

I prefer following science rather then quackery. People forget what the world was like before vaccinations, floride, and public health. Sadly in the US the quacks are in charge now.

So yes vax for me,

There are a lot of things going on. Internationally, China and Russia and others at war or preparing for war with the west. So big geopolitical stuff. At home an aligment of those forces to create political instbility with existing forces internal to the US. A media and social media enviornment that thrives on outrage not truth. Disastisfaction that has resulted in a major political party being taken over by fascist, authoritarian. and corrupt influences. A populus that thinks this is just fine for one reason or another. A wealthy corporate power elite behind the scenes that likes this.

If nothing else put on ear protection or ear plugs. If you wear hearing aids some have a noise block freature.

Sure maybe 8 counties. Yes I have had a passport for decades.

None, we only use linux.

The leadership is not the government. Leadership varies widely. The actual government workers and departments are different. Lot of very compitent people. There are questions of course. Big organizations tend to grow, how to address. What should be the priorites. Government cannot do everything. Mandates tend to grow. Polotics and money tend to corrupt. Like IRS, rich people do not want to pay their taxes so republicans always under fund.

If your talking presidents. Trump is the least comperent in my lifetime. Bush 2, first term not really there, second a lot better. Of course Raegon, Biden, and Trump got too old in office. The others back to the 70s which I lived through and was old enough to follow, mostly competent but all had issues of course. I am not rating these on whether I approve of their policies.
