If it supported it, 100 Hz paired with a mouse set for 200 Hz was nice and smooth.

The Croscore fonts ARE the Liberation fonts, just renamed.

I keep both for naming compatibility and also because the 1.0 Liberation versions had truetype hinting (2.0 and up did not).

They still do. It's the required font for all US Supreme Court legal work.

Have you tried eye-patching as a therapy to train the non-dominant eye?

As a lay person who likes to look at fonts closely, the purpose they are intended for matters. I don't like the Atkinson font for body text because I find it too round. For a transit sign I suppose it is fine since it would be printed at display sizes and only momentarily gazed at.

Calibri is a high-quality font that works as body text, but it's cold.

Times NR on paper is fine, on screen it is not fine unless you have a high resolution display.

I don't like newer codecs like AV1. I find them blurrier. Perhaps the bitrate is too low, but they do seem blurrier compared to h264. Even VP09 has often seemed better.

h264 is a very good codec.

they usually run newer codecs at a much lower bitrate, and do group testing to make sure the quality is "acceptable".

in double blind testing, at the same bitrate, you'll pick the "new" codec every time. but yes, they're trying to save money on bandwidth. it's annoying

Another example of why Android is better for this use case. With Firefox for Android you can install an extension to force h264 from YouTube and the problem is solved. With iPhone, you cannot. You must buy a new device when you need a feature or support.

China and India are two-thirds of the human race. With population numbers like those, this is large scale adoption.. just not in our market.

Your math is way off, China and India combined are roughly 35 %.

I hope the watchdog wins. Amazon already compresses the bitrate so much on the video, it really wasn't very nice when they decided that subscribers also now had to receive ads on top of that.

And not even the nice Cerveza Cristal kind of ads.

In North America, the problem is other than the fact they didn't allow dimming lights for whatever reason, they made a separate regulation for LED lights compared to the old incandescent lights.

The old light regulation actually had a limit on how bright the running lights could be.

The new LED light regulation says you can have it as bright as the manufacturer wants it to be.

So now there is the problem of misaligned headlights that don't point at the road but instead point at cars, and are as bright or brighter than the old incandescent high beams.

I have to have my rear-view mirror permanently flipped at night now. I never needed to do that in the past except when some idiot actually was using their high beams.

Another problem in North America is that the sizes and heights of cars keep going up. Reminds me of loudness wars in music somehow. Don’t know if this apparent size translates to more space inside; from my limited experience riding in American cars, not very much.

There’s someone in my neighborhood who has an imported Toyota Sequoia. Magnificent machine. His car could be mistaken for a small bus. When he vacates the spot, two normal sized cars can park in it. Our actual buses and semis often have lower headlights than that thing.
