Sorry to naysay you here, but one sides import is another's export. Also, the first sentence from the Wikipedia entry on tarrifs.

A tariff is a tax imposed by the government of a country or customs territory, or by a supranational union, on imports or exports of goods.

Did some investigating on that refresh rate number, it looks like the LED panels use something called Scrambled Pulse Width Modulation (S-PWM). From the little I can understand, it just seems to be a method of splitting and offsetting the PWM signal.

It's unclear to me if that means that a single pixel could be updated 3,840 times in a second or if the entire display collectively updates that much.

Playing with some math, if you had 4 sub-pixel LEDs updating at 120hz and separated into 8 sections across the entire panel that was each offset in time by some fraction, you could say there were 3,840 updates to the panel across a second. That would be quite the bastardization of the term "refresh rate", but I could see that being the case.

An easy answer as it is not for a mortal to decide which gods are deserving, rather the gods must decide by whomever survives.

5 day weeks, 6 weeks per months for 30 days each, 12 months in a year, 5-6 days of celebration of the new year.

I love the idea of working 3 days and being off for 2.

Might I suggest, should such a terrible fate ever befall you again, that you just tip the soup directly into your fucking mouth? The fork may even be employed to scrap and scoop chucks in the soup towards your gapping maw. I believe you will find this method very functional.

You can say shit outside of the Internet too. Shit's crazy that way.

I went to a game for the first time a few years ago. I recall the moment where everyone was sitting around and not doing anything because they were waiting for the commercials to finish. It felt like watching actors drop their characters the moment they step out of the spotlight.

Aye, but a quote and a name can get you far. The title appears to be Crime and Punishment and it's available on Project Gutenberg's website.

Author appears to be Fyodor Dostoevsky, as it says at the top there.

I just finished a project to make my own orb and now I can contemplate properly.

 

Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

 

Too cold to enjoy or too hot to eat?

 

With the release of Tapo version 3.0, TP-Link integrates their two lines of smart home devices into a single application, reducing the number of apps needed to control their devices.

Additionally, the update claims improvements to the user interface, optimized camera features, a sleeker status page, and faster responses and startups.

The blow post also suggest that improvements to lighting effects, smart actions, geofencing, and a dark mode will be coming in the future.

I think the best takeaway is that I can have one less app on my phone!
