@binom If you film with a camera with a ntsc vertical reference rate of 59.95 hz you will see a beat note between the lights and the led lighting indicating it is not well filtered if at all. If you have a newer HiDef camera, most of them work at a 24Hz refresh rate, that IS a slow enough rate that you see jitter in the movement, they also will have a beat note if recording under most LED lights. Many cheap led lights just have a capacitive current limiter and that's it. If you power them off of 50Hz you will see the flicker, if you get dimmable LED lights they will NOT have a filter. But I don't want to interfere with anyone's bragging rights.

@FlembleFabber Do you have LED lights in your house? Can you see 60Hz flicker?

@weird Same here, and although Linux is my daily driver, I do have a Windows VM and a dual boot that I use for gaming, but on those I create my accounts without a Microsoft account by removing the network connectivity first, and then if they get one drive installed anyway, I de-install it.

@Sparrowette As long as it continues to offer so much hatred for people offering to help, I don't see how it can survive let alone thrive.

@iAvicenna Well I guess you're destining us to re-live it.

@Quadhammer So far that hasn't proven to be the case. Any nation that has wide spread application of renewable energy also has very high rates. Take Spain for example, approximately 50% of it's energy comes from renewables is 19.9cents / Kwh. Saudi Arabia by contrast, less than 1% of it's energy from renewables, 6.1cents / Kwh, less than one third the cost in Spain AND their grid doesn't collapse on a regular basis when clouds obscure a solar farm or the wind dies down.

@Astella You don't have to, or at least I don't have to.

@Smokeydope Please understand that a PSU is rated at the total power it can supply to 5v and 12v lines combined, but it can not supply that full power to both. And in my experience many brands of PSUs do not live up to their ratings. If you're going to run a "beefy" GPU and CPU, I suggest going with 1000 watt or 1200 watt supply. If you are worried about an efficiency then go with a Platinum, they provide good efficiency even at low load levels. This will give you the overhead you need for your machine to run without strain.

@iAvicenna Your accusations of what I know to be facts as being fabrications only points to your own lack of knowledge.

I know, history is scary, if we get too attached to the past we might be tempted to recreate it. The truth is NOT knowing history is what dooms you to recreate it.

Picture yourself on a boat on the ocean, far away from any land. If you don't know where you've been how do you know you're not going around in circles?

@iAvicenna You can stick your head in the ground and ignore history but it has the unfortunate side effect of likely leading to your own demise and potentially others.

@iAvicenna Knowing history is even better than knowing theory, theory is just that, history is fact.
