The JVC DLA-X750R Projector is a 4K Home Theater Projector. This lamp based projector is capable of displaying 1,800 Lumens at its brightest setting with a native resolution of 1920x1080, and is 3D capable. The zoom lens on the JVC X750R has an impressive zoom ratio of 2x combined with the ability to shift the lens which allows for flexibility in positioning. This projector was first available for purchase in November 2015 and has been discontinued by JVC.

Haven't tested it yet. I had (wrongly?) assumed there wouldn't be enough power and nothing managing EDIDs. Can give that a try.

A package labeled "newonizer", with subtitle "Guarantees to allow you to buy new gear."

The package contains a cable with what appears to be a male HDMI plug, and the other end is a 3-prong 120V 15 amp power plug (typical for North America).

An issue of issues. Β· Issue #1 Β· wickerwaka/iMacSTer Hi! I just acquired a Ruby iMac G3 with the intent of replicating this project! You've had yours for a couple of years now, and mentioned that there were some sync issues you ran into that perhaps ...

@wickerwaka.com Was 'r sure how you preferred to be reached, so I did this on GitHub for tracking purposes, but do let me know how you prefer to be contacted!

@riverbutcher.bsky.social Hey, I was the doofus in the gym saying you already looked better than me. I can only imagine you have been through a lot, and just wanted to say you're awesome for continuing to push forward.

Look forward to seeing you again if the cards are right!

It is a variation on the whole "if you need the threat of eternal damnation to do the right thing, you're not a good person". Sure, your religion may mark you as saved, but in that same vein, if you're getting raptured, I wanna stay here, kthx.

That's exactly what blows my mind coming from a conservative upbringing. They simply cannot envision people just choosing to be kind to each other. They project because they have a limited imagination. Everyone would of course do what they would do, which is awful.

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

Anyone have a good bit of software that will split long conversations out automatically, but sensibly - not breaking things up mid-word, or mungo get punctuation?
