  • It’s basically HDR (the 10 bit display kind, not the Half Life 2 kind), but with more metadata.

    What I find is that if you have a Dolby Vision capable TV, it will be already calibrated to something that looks good, rather than you having to fuck around telling it how bright “paper” is or some shit.

    HDR displays are surprisingly tricky, even without Dolby Vision or HDR10+. Especially if you’re mixing SDR and HDR content on a display. I tried it a few years ago on Windows and it was flat out awful. I think they’ve fixed a lot of it up now with Win 11, but even they took their damn time over it.











  • OK, if society achieves net zero, you can have as many children as you like.

    But given that it’s been going up since the industrial revolution, and it’s still going up, it seems rather fanciful to suggest that it’s within our grasp.

    A number of countries have reduced emissions massively, but realistically that mostly means “we’ve moved all our emissions to China”. I could buy green energy from my supplier, but for me that was still coming from a big coal power station a few miles up the road until last year when they finally closed it.

    And frankly, if corporations can count the carbon a tree will capture over 30 years and somehow “offset” that against a dirty great factory when they hurl a few pennies at a third world farmer, then we can count the carbon our descendents will emit over that time as well.
