The only power consumers have is voting with your wallet. Which in this case if this is important for you you need to cancel else they'll let it be and then later down the road they'll push even further. Also this is what always happens when a company gets big and think/know they can get away with it.

Yes, which is exactly what I'm stating. Showing a forcibly non-upscaled video (or one where you've manually tweaked the upscaling for that matter) is likely not what you want because there are no circumstances where that is what you'd watch on that particular screen. It could perhaps work as an example of how that video would look if you had a 1080p monitor of the same size instead of the 4k one you have, since it scales in a linear fashion, a pixel of 1080p is 4 pixels in a square on a 4k screen. But that's likely not what you want to test. Instead the thing you do want to test is "does it matter if I download X content in 1080p or 4k? How big is the difference really?" And if that is the question you need to let it upscale.

And no helm(et) or lifejacket in sight... Looks like a spectacularly dumb way to die given all the jagged rocks.

Not really possible. A 1080p video smashed into a 4k container (so it can actually represent the 4k part) would look worse than a true 1080p video file since that would get up scaled by your TV or monitor in most situations.

Best comparison would be making a playlist of the same video first in 1080p and then 4k.

You're being downvoted here because you set the goalpost as "Biden shouldn't sign this pro-Israel, anti-palestine budget because he'll lose the election" when that is refuted you then move it to "Biden wants to sign this budget, you're dumb if you think he's reluctant". I don't think he's reluctant, but not because he today wants to block aid to UNRWA, because he as a life long career politician knows there's no such thing as a bill you support 100% if you reach 51% that's good enough.

All three, House, Senate and President, need to agree to the same budget. As Republicans control (on paper) everything but the presidency it's not like Biden has true agency. If he grandstands on the UNRWA funding here the shutdown that would follow would be squarely on Biden. Thousands of American government employees wouldn't be paid and people relying on the federal government for aid and support would be out in the cold.

The fact of the matter is that the average American voter care more about the US doing well and everything working than they do about Palestine in general and the UNRWA funding specifically.

Lol wut? Was this guy in a year long coma starting in December 2020? Cyberpunk had one of the top 10 most disastrous launches in gaming history. And in no small part due to botched expectations around quests, mainly because a lot of the pre-release footage was of "The Pickup" which really was the only quest to really deliver all they talked about in those early videos.

Now the game is still a good game. But it's a great "emergent gameplay" game, one where gameplay and level design work together to create something greater than the sum of the pieces. Quest, plot, story wise it's not at all anything special in my opinion. It has high production values sure, but the substance is rather meh, and there is little story agency, outside of "The Pickup", which I think is a large part of the reason they themselves, without announcement, stopped calling it a RPG about a year or so before release.

With escrow its completely pointless as you say to not pay it yourself. So I have to assume it's the terms for when it's not to be put in escrow.

It's more you need to prove you have $1 billion for us to put up this $500 million because we don't trust you to not spend a $500 million collateral on hamberders, hush money and legal fees.

Gotta love republicans "the spend and print regime" was bi-partisan and, importantly, initiated under Trump. Further they've continuously held control of the Senate while Biden has been in power and the house since 2022.

Finally the Affordable Care Act was a republican bill that Obama compromised on instead of the Democratic proposal, to get some improvements through. It's always amusing when Republicans now shit all over it...

Gotta love people with confidence: "by the end [of this video], there will be nothing left to discuss regarding Star Wars". That's one hell of a lofty goal! I'll need to watch it.
