  • If you want the best bang for your buck, in my opinion, you have two options.

    One is to go cheap. For personal use I buy Visio displays, and have had nothing but success. I never connect them to the internet, and use my PS4 as my media player.

    The other is to buy a commercial grade display. This usually means no media apps at all, but they are designed for 24/7 operation. Look for something advertised as a digital signage display.

    As the other poster mentioned, OLED is supposed to have better contrast and black, but I’ve never noticed much of a difference.




  • I only have it on PS4, and yes there are lots of mods in the workshop. There are obviously limitations.

    Every few months I try installing various mods to make what I want out of it, darker nights, flashlight mod, weapon and armour changes for a more hard core experience, etc, and end up with 15 or so mods installed.

    Start a new hardcore mode, get just about past diamond city, and the game invariably starts crashing.

    No idea which one or ones are causing the issue, and in the end I get annoyed and go play something else.











  • I would be a good dictator. I don’t crave fame, fortune, or control. I like to live a quite life, have general good will for people and am kind.

    I have a very technical background, a decent understanding of, and more importantly a high respect for, science. My number one skill is probably troubleshooting complex systems.

    I’m am secure enough in my knowledge and abilities that I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong, and enjoy and am not threatened by other people being right so I can learn something new.

    I make a terrible manager, so I’d have to delegate the vast majority of the actual work to competent people.

    Mostly I just want everyone treated fair and equal, to have access to basic needs, and the ability to better themselves.

    I absolutely don’t want the job, nor do I think anyone should have it, but yeah, I think I’d make a good dictator.




  • One day I realised I was out of options. The military had always been a theoretical get out of Dodge card for me, and since I was out of ideas, no place to live, and it was the middle of winter, I signed up.

    My MOS placement was possibly the single best luck of the draw I’ve ever had in my life, and having a guaranteed contract saved my ass a few times in tech school.

    Even though my military career wasn’t the best, and ended early, the training both personal and technical still serves me well to this day.

    I literally can not imagine what my life would be like if I hadn’t joined.
