  • It was a Q90T bought in October of 2020. I also remembered another issue, after I replaced the TV with an LG, I started using it with a gaming laptop so my friend and I could play games on PC together. But we had nights were we spent an whole hour trying to get the TV to recognize the Laptop’s output. Sometimes it’d work, other nights it would refuse, and it got worse over time. I hate that TV with a fiery passion, it cost so much money and it was not worth it, not even close. The prior TV I had was a Sony top of the the line in 2007, and it was immaculate, lasted until 2020 when I replaced it.


  • I’ll never buy another Samsung TV. I bought a top of the line LCD/LED TV in late 2020 and it had so many weird issues:

    It had frame rate issues with some streaming devices. It was widely reported as an issue in the Samsung forums, but it was never fixed.

    The interface wasn’t user friendly, taking many many more button presses to switch Inputs than any other TV I’ve had.

    The grid of LEDs that were supposed to turn on and off to help make dark spots darker ended up being distracting, you could clearly see when one or two of the LEDs turned on, causing an area to get highlighted by comparison.

    Nope, never again, I bought an nice LG OLED and it’s great, build quality, UI, responsiveness, picture quality.




  • We didn’t catch the fact that the rubble covered stove in the cafeteria early on works. So we never found a way to cook food, eventually we found another oven, but it was broken and we had no idea where to get the parts to repair it. We went back to the beginning to cook food, but the logistics of trying to haul things with our limited inventories back and forth to get food and also explore became unfun so we quit.



  • If a company can make a change to make more money, and they think they can get away with it, they’ll always make that change. Shit, there’s an article about Warren getting angry about digital price takes Kroger is looking at using. Their plan is to start with it to dynamically change prices of products depending on things like weather, I.E., heat wave, increase price of ice cream and ice.

    They also planned to use cameras and facial recognition to analyze customers, figure out gender, age, etc, then build profiles on individual customers and how much of a price hike they could stomach and dynamically price per customer.

    I mean, that’s like cartoonishly evil behavior, but they’re willing to try it if it means more money. So of course companies across the U.S. increased prices under the guise of inflation, because infinite growth is the expectation, never too much money right? Law makers will need to step in to curb some of the worst examples of all of t his greedflation.
