amber bramble i remember being able to see the CRTs flickering at 60hz when I was in highschoo...

So, this actually gets rather interesting. Human visual response time is contrast-based, i.e. the larger the difference in brightness, the higher the perfectible frequency. Because the phosphor in a CRT doesn't immediately go dark (and may not have time to go completely black before the next scan), lower refresh rates than you might expect are often acceptable.

#

LEDs change state near-instantly, going from full brightness to completely off, so the flicker is visible at MUCH higher frequencies.

cheap half-wave rectified LED Christmas lights are especially bad. It's legit difficult to drive in a neighborhood lit by them, because the stroboscopic effect causes them to break into thousands of dots any time I move my head/eyes.

subtle pasture Nov 30, 2020, 5:45 PM

Yup, they use a cheap low-frequency PWM circuit to dim the tail lights while driving with the headlights on. The PWM duty cycle goes to 100% (full bright / always on) when the brake pedal is depressed.

#

I really wish they'd either use a 1 kHz+ PWM circuit, or go back to resistive dimming...

tropic hedge Nov 30, 2020, 5:56 PM

well yah, but in that first sample project the resistor is so you don't blow the LED, not to dim it

#

though I guess it would get a bit brighter right before it blew

deft pewter Nov 30, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

You can have a higher value resistor to result in a dimmer LED.

subtle pasture Nov 30, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

The resistor is there for current-limiting, true... but if you hook up a variable resistor, you can ramp the brightness up and down.

tropic hedge Nov 30, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

TIL

deft pewter Nov 30, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

The LED's power is a function of, well... power.

#

Lower current at the same voltage = lower lower.

subtle pasture Nov 30, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

The only real downside is the resistor converts the power into waste heat

#

So dimming a high-current LED matrix with a resistor could result in... a lot of heat...

#

That said, if it's an LED matrix, you could always just turn off segments of it to change between discreet brightness levels. No need for any form of PWM or resistive dimming at all

That's pretty much what they did with incandescent bulbs on cars. Multiple bulbs (or bulbs with multiple filaments)

Depending on prevailing regulations and equipment, vehicles may implement the daytime-running light function by functionally turning on specific lamps, by operating low-beam headlamps or fog lamps at full or reduced intensity
Ugh. This might be why I see so many fog lights now...

Low-beams should be the only acceptable DRL's. Fog lights are way too bright.

I usually use front fogs and side lights during thr day actually. It is "legal" and doesn't blind, but we have to have 2 lights on by law. Saves the reflectors in the headlights a lot (normal 55W bulbs, not projector lenses or xenon)

The UK:

Headlights and fog lights should also be used in daytime hours when visibility is seriously reduced – although you must switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users.

Dazzling other drivers is fucking dangerous. They don't care.

Strictly speaking, the original Xbox can play back 1080p content at full framerate, IF it's encoded correctly (generally that means MPEG2, which is hardware accelerated on the old console).

DVDs are often mastered with video that fills the entire 720x480 frame (trying to take advantage of as many pixels as possible to retain as much quality as possible). If a movie isn't 16:9, the DVD will then specify an aspect ratio, and the DVD player will squish the video so that the aspect ratio renders correctly on your TV

#

i.e. "non-square pixels"

That's an endpoint problem, not a file problem. Plenty of video files use non-square pixels.

It's nice you still have your memories at such as advanced age @forest edge

#

Looks like the largest "Memory Stick Pro Duo" that Sony ever made was only 32GB (though the PSP supports larger capacities than this if you use a MicroSD to MSPD adapter)

#

Looks like someone even got a 128gb card working via an adapter

HD has been a thing since the late 90's. lol

forest edge Nov 30, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

but wasn't mainstream

#

wasn't the "common"

subtle pasture Nov 30, 2020, 10:52 PM

Interesting tech, as well. 50GB per tape, which is the same capacity as a dual-layer BluRay

@forest edge D-VHS was primarily sold to record HD-TV service, which hit the market WELL before HD movies went mainstream

forest edge Nov 30, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

my first "HD" tv was a sony trinitron or whatever that name was, was a CRT and id 1080i with a 4:3 screen size. was a 36"

#

thing weghed a fucking ton

#

that was like somewhere between 2003-2006

#

we ended up giving it away on craigslist to just get rid of it, was in perstine condition too

#

sony vega

#

was a really nice tv, just weighed more than a car

Laser Discs FTW

barren hound Nov 30, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

I watched Terminator on LD. They forgot to censor out Arnie's dick when he's walking after time travel.

#

cool tech, the discs were massive

green inlet Nov 30, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

I think I have around 10-15 LD. Top Gun is one. Can’t remember the others but pretty sure terminator wasn’t one of them

#

Laser Disc is the true meaning or going out of style before it ever was in style

barren hound Nov 30, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

i think my dad picked it up from a pawn shop for $50 including a few discs

#

it also had one of the craziest remotes with a jog wheel

Top gun on LD is the shizzle

green inlet Nov 30, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

amirite

#

That’s really the only reason I got the LD player

forest edge Nov 30, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

my uncle had a laser disc player

#

went out and bought all these movies

#

then the format died lol
