Sure, here are some from my HDR Dell monitor:

I meant something I can open on an Apple device to see HDR in action.


The video from the screenshots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO01J-M3g0U


I looked at that, and it does not appear to result in brighter-than-white output on my iPhone 12 mini.


That went through one or more conversion steps so who knows...

I'm not willing to give my email addy out for those sample clips either, so I guess I won't know too soon.


Like others, I also use keybase.io. By design it is not connected to the phone number, I can prove by myself the identity of the recipient and yes, it has exploding messages. They had a fiasco with unwanted cryptocurrency but now it is mostly forgotten/forgiven.


I'm not so sure that their crypto-foray was so easily forgiven and forgotten.

I know that I deleted my account as a result of it, and a couple of days ago there was a lot of noise about it in the discussion of https://keys.pub site:

If you live in a condo, what about sharing your internet on the guest WIFI network? Does it make sense? Will people misuse it? (It probably violates TOS, I guess.)


Not sure about any TOS but I’ve been sharing my WiFi for more than 10 years now. I live in an appartment block in an Eastern European capital.


I guess it depends. At least in my contract for connectivity is a clause then I cannot share the connection with people not living in the same household. I would imagine it is fairly common.


Does that mean you cannot have guests using your connectivity? I'm assuming they still can. What if they stay outside your apartment? What about staying outside apartment for one week? So many questions


It excludes people even temporary present in the apartment. So guests are supposed to be fine. If they are outside and their phone auto-connects, it is technically a breach, yes.

I asked about it and have in writing that the intention is to prevent sharing with neighbors. But I mean, there is no way to enforce it either way so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Try Affinity Designer. It merges bitmap and vector tools. Works pretty good. And no subscription.


Affinity Designer is an excellent option. It’s way beyond what you would expect a $50 app to offer, and bests Adobe Illustrator in several areas.

That said, I think its low price point has started working against it. New releases come at a glacial pace, and a few broken features have literally had fixes in the works for years (expand stroke is the standout). When the last thing I bought from the company was a $50 purchase four years ago, I can’t really complain, but in retrospect, I wish Affinity had gone the Sketch route with an annual upgrade program. I’d like to pay more to see Affinity Designer advance faster, but presently there’s no option to do so.


Seconded. It's just different enough from Illustrator to be unsettling for the first few days, but the core of it is immediately and very obviously excellent. I persevered (it's vastly less money) and I'm very pleased I did. It's significantly smoother and faster in daily use than Illustrator (at least on my machine) and that counts for a lot for me. Updates are thoughtful and contain useful features. There's very little now that I actually have to work around and some parts of it are just intrinsically better - snapping candidates, for example.


I'm really liking it myself. Unfortunately I've got hundreds of hours wrapped up in making maps that I periodically update, and there's no good path to move them from Illustrator to Designer. PDFs move, but then every path comes over weird... And without the layers and groupings that are otherwise so helpful.


You should be able to open Illustrator files directly in Affinity Designer.


There's also Affinity Photo (their Photoshop competitor). It's not bad if you only need to edit things once in a while.


Also Corel Draw supports macOS now


I remember when I tried to do the same thing three years ago (the year before I deleted my account) – Unfollow every person. AFAIK I had 600+ contacts.

What was funny, after ~300 clicks I got the captcha to fill and 14 clicks later week block with a message: "This is not a proper using of the function". Also, FB was hypocritical. It allowed me to click to follow again, just unfollow was blocked. :-)
