Streaming Companies: One Resolution to Rule them All.. or Why are we still on the Oliver 1080 Poverty breadline?

Hello..    Oh wandering wisp of the internet.. or should that be Edna the Evil TV? Sit back and relax, grab a tea, coffee or beverage of choice while I, your town crier, regale you on how Streaming Companies of Mordor have locked us all in to 1080 and stagnated the industry..   Skeptical? I don't blame you, its a large and sweeping claim.. but for balance.. remember how locked we were with DX9? that thing just would not die! until; we starved it to death. Hear ye! Hear Ye!

Folding Month 2021 Awards Ceremony

Well here we are, at the end of the event, battered, bruised and some of us noticeably lighter in the wallet, but we made it through! Over 80% of sign ups this event made the minimum requirements, that is an impressive number considering we usually are lucky to get 50% or so of people who signed up making onto the final sheet. As expected we have a new king! With Den-Fi no longer on the forum there was always going to be a new king, but this is shocking. A first timer not only competing well but

On the Topic of HDMI Version Numbers...

[I'm writing this post mainly in reaction to this TFT Central article, but this is less of a direct response and more of a general information post for the community. I originally wrote this for r/monitors, but I decided it would probably be better to post it here where I have more control over formatting, because this is going to be a looong post.] Introduction Well. I was already planning on writing an article on this topic, but since TFT Central published their piece, it seems t

Day Thirty One - A Few Thoughts

Well here we are, the end of the event draws near and we have certainly been pushing hard.    Mxyzptlk is looking in good form to be passing the billion point mark before the end of the event. Id Igor is wanting to take the throne they will certainly need to recover big style, my guess if they have been folding on AWS and have been affected by the outage. LazyDev is really pushing hard to take over cbigfoots, and they are going to need to push harder if they are wanting to leapfrog.

Day Twenty Nine - Igor Takes The Throne

As many of you guys know, I have COVID, and i'm feeling real shitty so I'm just gonna dump the ranks here and hope some of you guys comment below your views on the ranks so far. Now with that said, It's back to browsing the forum on my laptop in bed.    I have to say, Igor GG on taking that number one spot.    We are likely to see me dropping in the ranks as I'm taking Foldatron offline due to technical issues.    Please click on the link below to see the full list

Day Twenty Three - Pain Meds And One Billion

Miker, the man has pushed himself and is the first to get over one billion points in this competition. If Igor wants to snatch that crown he needs to push just that little bit more, it wouldn't take much.   As you can see there haven't really been much movement in the ranks and i really need to take some pain meds and get to bed, so let me know in the comments how you think you're doing so far.   Please click on the link below to see the full list of ranks for today.

I have tried out Agregore, a web browser that lets you browse the decentralised web

I have been trying Agregore, and it is very interesting. Now the main feature of this browser is how you can browse p2p websites which use many different protocols (IPFS, Gemini and, Bittorrent). This browser appears to be trying to be the swiss army-knife of p2p web browsing, a role it does very well at. Apart from that it has normal http/https support, and it also supports has limited support for web extensions (via the Electron Extensions module). It is based on Electron and is meant to be li

Day Twenty - My Arm Hurts

I'll admit, there isn't much imagination going on with the titles atm. My arm is killing me from a mix of the fall and then the IV but no matter, we are here, moving on, getting things done and the event stops for no man.    Milker remains sitting on the throne and by god does he want this, pushing out more points than he's ever done before during this event so far. He currently has 861.33 million points. Followed by Ben_F who is sitting in second place with 750.30 million points, with
