I'm amused by those who imagine that the laws of physics can be defied merely by looking the other way. It makes me ponder how unbelievably moronic humanity is, how pathetic, and how deserving of what it is come.

Yeah, when thinking of the typical air fryer market, think "working mom with kids who wants to serve something nicer than a microwave dinner, but doesn't have the time for much prep or waiting". You can get those mailard reactions that microwaving doesn't really get you, nice crisping and browning of the surface that you normally get from an oven, without having to wait for an oven to preheat. I don't think anyone disputes that an oven will do a better job, but the air fryer does a better job than a microwave, which is what it's really competing against. They're also marketed as easy-clean, which again is a nod to their target audience.

You want to go backwards in time?

Indeed, too much food is grown for ethanol to add to fossil fuel for transport - cut that out and there will be plenty more food available

They'll need to investigate Agrivoltaics where possible as it increases yields

Plants defend themselves against excess heat and that ruins yields

Planting under solar that protects plants from extremes of heat increases yields

yes, EU has to make a purchase to get the stuff, they can't just turn up at the port and dump a load of cheap stuff on the docks and hope it gets sold. I think its a stupid claim. I guessing that just because USA has dropped off the top of the table, the next economy automatically becomes the largest without any difference in trade.

How costs build up is really staggering. I'm getting into the business of importing 3d filament. In Iceland, it currently sells for like $35/kg minimum. The actual value of the plastic is like $1. The factory's total cost, all costs included, is like $1,50. If it's not name brand, e.g. they're not dumping money on marketing, they sell it for $3 for the cheapest stuff. Sea freight adds another dollar or two. Taxes here add 24%. But you're still at like $5/kg. The rest is all middlemen, warehousing, air freight for secondary legs from intermediary hubs, and all the markup and taxes on those things.

With me importing direct from the factory, sea freight only, I can get rid of most of those costs. Warehousing is the biggest unavoidable cost. If I want to maintain an average inventory of like 700kg, it adds something like $5/kg to the cost. Scanning in goods and dispatching user orders (not counting shipping) together adds like $2,50. And then add 24% tax (minus the taxes on the imported goods). There's still good margin, but it's amazing how quickly costs inflate.

you had the choice not to buy it, now you have no choice

Prosecution?

Are you really an American?
Do you think service providers are prosecuted for downtime?
What a freakishly dystopian outlook.

This is absolutely incorrect.
First and foremost, PQ and HLG have entirely different curves than SDR gamma.

Also completely incorrect.
HDR is not about making a scene brighter. It's about making parts of the screen brighter will still retaining detail in very dim parts.

DisplayHDR 400 looks great on an OLED laptop.
A laptop is never more than a half meter or so from your face. It doesn't need 1000 nits to be absolutely blinding.
And remember- brightness isn't about brightness of the entire scene. It's small parts. That's why peak and sustained are different measures.

All HDR imagery is tone-mapped in practice.
The artifacts you're referring to are when you try to tone map HDR down into SDR- i.e., gamma compression. This is not a problem when tone-mapping absurdly high-nit masters into one of the various HDR standard spaces.

This is patently fucking false, lol.
First- many movies peak past 1000 nits.
Second- you're confusing HDR parlances- which isn't entirely your fault- it's confusing.
HDR10 is good up to 10k nits- the precise same as Dolby Vision. It is, in fact, the set point of the PQ curve.
HLG is good for any amount of nits.

The PQ curve points being selected at 10k has nothing to do with the advantages of HDR, since movies are typically mastered at 4000 nits, and as you pointed out- projectors aren't capable of anywhere near that of even a nice TV.
But that's ok, precisely because the "Brightness Wars" don't fucking exist.
Average scene brightness remains what it always was- but with HDR transfer functions, we can display far more detail there, as well as displaying very bright peaks (like the headlights of a car, as an example)

The ball in the article can't be used with your friends for unapproved fun, period, because it can only be used on Company fields with company enforced rules.
Like if Disney had invented Soccer.

I don't think the concern is the plane manufacturer.
Frankly, I don't think Boeing or Airbus seek to copy much of anything from each other (except maybe the neo/MAX engine moves).
Boeing doesn't use Airbus style avionics, and Airbus has nothing like the 787.
Competition at the mid-sized plane level (A320/737) is mostly focusing on obvious things- like larger turbofans, being moved further forward.
The Boeing solution for that is based on entirely different theory than the Airbus solution to it- in the Airbus, you're never really flying the plane directly anyway, so it's a simple avionics software update. For the Boeing, you are in direct control of the craft, so it has to have extra systems that handle the trim for that particular change. Really nothing to copy.

I think the concern is more so Airbus' customers that Airbus retains data over. Those customers would probably prefer that such data be under European data rules.

Why would we do that? It's good stuff. The same stuff you get on Amazon, but for literally 1/10th the price.

A lot of it is good quality too. Better than European brands in some cases, e.g. I bought a Wolfbox air blower and kids I significantly more powerful than anything else on the market except for Makita stuff costing 5x as much. Don't take my word for it, there are numerous scientific tests of those things in YouTube.

Or thermal cameras. FLIR can't compete with the Chinese manufacturers and their high resolution modules.

Keep in mind you are being fleeced on most of this "quality" stuff. I was looking at USB borescope cameras. Local place wanted £50, Amazon wanted £30, AliExpress wanted £1.50 and they are all the same thing. Same product photos, same USB IDs, same camera module and PCB. I know because I bought all three for work and took them apart.
