I just started to use Hyprland yesterday after switching to Cachy OS. Was previously Linux Mint cinnamon. I don’t know why but I’m kind of enjoying the thrill.

Ah connected to mains. There would be a way to add a driver in between but will require an electrician and it’s just not worth it if you can just put it to high output.

Very interesting! My pet peeve is glare and LEDS produce an ungodly amount of glare and I absolutely hated them in car headlights. I’ve never heard of anyone irritated by hz that high before. The more you know. Thanks for clarifying.

Ah. That’s a driver issue again. The dimmer is adjusting the voltage, and it the voltage dips too low, the LED chips don’t have enough juice to run. Hence the flickering. If there is a driver attached to your LEDs, you might want to consider a 0-10V driver or one that specifically says flicker free.

EldoLED drivers are excellent for this but costly because they’re commercial grade.

That just means the driver is not flicker free, not the LED board itself, and there are flicker free drivers out there but they’re just not available for the average consumer.

But visible flicker? On an LED that’s just emitting light? I’ve never seen that before. Maybe it’s a UK and Europe thing.

Wait, I’m a specialist lighting designer and i haven’t heard about this < 100hz LED is bad stuff. From my experience, frequencies at around 50hz or lower is what usually causes eye strain/headaches etc.LEDs are typically 60hz.

I’m guessing the >100hz crowd just need to go outside and touch grass for a few hours a day.

Baby Button-Eyes, what are you doing posessed at this hour?

I’m constantly looking for a way to convert the entire office. At the moment, it’s ‘how to replace Revit’ and I found Bonsai but the 2d drawing elements are still being developed. If anyone has any suggestions on BIM software that can use IFC files, I would be most thankful.

Other than that, I’ll bet our IT company will advise against using Linux because they won’t know how to use it.

Oh, true. Those bots were not clutter though, IMO.

Haha this thread is bringing back memories.

Nope. I was a kid around the 80s/90s and we had no dedicated computer teachers; although universities probably had access to those types of publications. That information was pretty niche in Australia for regular people, especially kids, and we were always at least 2 years behind the US on everything.

I don’t know what to tell you. It certainly wasn’t a word I or any one I spoke to used to describe programs.

No… Things literally were simpler back then as information moved a lot slower and the internet was far less privatised, if at all.

Your chat logs were saved to your own local drive, not a cloud, and you could delete them. Social media was just your web page you made for free on Geocities or Angelfire. Email spam was mostly chain mail. There were no bots whatsoever cluttering the internet. And so on.

And, FWIW, there were no such things as apps. Just programs. Apps started with the smart phone.

You reckon they’ll embalm him? Chuck him in a glass coffin and charge money to see him, and all that?

There are luddites in every generation.

Not according to the gen z who I was chatting to. Also, rage quit would have made no sense in that specific context.

I know. I was being facetious.

IHNIWTM

My latest one was rq.

I thought it was a typo.

It stands for ‘real quick’.

Heck, I have a tech literate friend who can’t handle Linux but I think if you’re willing to be tech support like my husband is for his parents, the transition is easier.

This is my friend. Had a Steam Deck and couldn’t figure out Steam OS so they installed Windows on it instead. He’s very tech literate but somehow can’t grasp Linux. On the other hand, I’ve transitioned fine to Linux Mint.
