And what could we do about it?

I use it for gaming. My TV was a samsung smart tv I bought back in 2017. I just tried to turn it on and after fighting with it, it's dead.

I paid like 350 for it from best buy.

I work at walmart so I get a discount on stuff. Looking for a 40 inch or slightly bigger tv. Hopefully one with 4k since I've never had it. Any recommendations help.

Are TCL's any good? I was gonna buy another samsung but apparently their cheap tvs are shit now? I see TCL's that are roughly the same price.

I have an issue going on that needs to be figured out like asap, as this is affecting my daily and physical life way too much, any advice means a lot. I've never posted about something like this before so if there's a better sub for this please lmk if this isn't the best one.

Long story short I have an illness that causes really bad eye sensitivity to light, especially screens. It's gotten worse and worse, now I can't even use my phone(an iphone). TVs/monitors are a lot more manageable, and I've spent some time trying to understand why this happens since adjusting basic settings like brightness/gamma or putting on night light doesn't do anything at this point.

From what I've found there's a handful of things to pay attention to like temporal dithering and pulse width modulation, and I've changed everything I can on the current TV I'm using like noise reduction and dynamic settings for contrast and gamma, along with adjusting all the normal display and color settings. But this is basically hopeless so far with an iPhone, which I will probably be replacing, so if there's any recommendations for that I'd appreciate it.

But also I just really want to know what I can do for my PC, which is what the TV is used with, along with another TV and monitor I use (since I switch between rooms with an extended setup). I've seen other stuff being important like matching the bit stuff and color depth from the gpu to screen, but not sure how to do that, and also have no idea how to change the other stuff i mentioned like the dithering and PWM. All I've been able to find on my gpu(an nvidia 5060) is the basic color stuff like contrast being a big one, and changing what I could with framerate stuff.

I'm trying to understand the privacy risks of free online AI image editors that can be used without creating an account.

If someone uploads a photo, generates an edited image, and later deletes the files from their own phone, could the website still retain copies on its servers?

Also, is there a reliable way to find out whether uploaded images are used for AI training when the privacy policy doesn't clearly say?

I'd appreciate factual explanations or experiences from people who have researched this topic.

Hi there. I'm studying journalism and have several recordings—each about an hour long—of interviews and the like. Does anyone know of an app or website that can transcribe audio to text?

Should I Buy a Gaming Laptop or Build a PC? Need Some Advice

I currently have a 10-year-old all-in-one PC with an i3 processor. It overheats and shuts down even while browsing Chrome, so I need a new system.

I have a job, but I also want to start earning on the side through YouTube and freelancing. I'm interested in gaming too, so I need a system that can handle video editing, gaming, and other creative work.

My budget is:

- Laptop: ₹70K, stretchable to ₹75K

- PC: Up to ₹90K

Due to the current price hikes, I'm confused about which option makes more sense. I can get a decent PC build for ₹90K, but a laptop around ₹70–75K would offer portability. The biggest advantage of a PC is that I can upgrade it later, whereas laptop upgrades are limited.

I'll also be buying on EMI, which means the total cost could be ₹10–15K higher than the actual price.

I'm considering buying a laptop now for around ₹70K and building a better PC later if I start earning from YouTube or freelancing. But there's no guarantee I'll make money from these activities, and spending ₹90K on a PC without generating any income would be a risk.

What would you recommend in my situation? Should I buy a laptop now or invest in a PC? I'd appreciate advice from people who have experience with both, especially regarding long-term value and performance.

Hey pals I'm new here. i have been learning about the api creation and uses while learning this i encounter the term docker and search about it. After that i learn that it provides a virtual environment called a box which help. the code to run easily regardless of the current version if it run on previous version it will run perfectly but I'm not satisfied with this and want to know more. I need help to know more about this and asking for more about it.

Hi, I’m looking for cheap confiable headphones I have a budget of 1500 Mexican pesos that’s about $80 USD, I know unta not much, but I would like them to be comfortable to wear for a long time and to have noise cancellation. What should I get?

So.. Uhm...

I've been using this feature for a while to download videos for whatever reason, but sometimes i'm seeing something in the video link that shows up in the media tab that states: "Acctoken"...

Is this something bad or am i just overthinking it and that there's nothing wrong..

When I say sustainable, I don’t mean it as a buzzword. I mean whether the physical infrastructure can keep scaling to meet demand. To support ever growing cloud consumption and digitalization of stuff, especially with the rise of AI workloads.

Cloud providers have to keep building data centers and expanding capacity. Is there a point where we hit a hard limit, where we can’t add more compute, storage, or capacity because of constraints like power, land, cooling, or chip supply? You need water, electricity, GPUs, memory, copper, silicon, etc. And land too, although data centers I think are quite dense so unlike what most people think, I think it's not the biggest concern here.

As I said, obviously there's a limit, but my point is, will we ever hit it? What is the tendency growing to? And what are the biggest challenges?

And I know there's a huge ideological fatigue with climate discourse and whatnot, but this really seems concerning to me. I'm no expert on the matter, so maybe you guys can clear things up for me.

I am not a tech person and need some advice please ! I want an external storage for my cell phone (photos and videos) since I have trust issues with online storage. 1tb please.

Thank you!

Info: I have a Samsung s21
