UGREEN has broken their own record for releasing the world's first 300W charger and pushed the envelope even further by launching the world's first 500W Nexode Charger. The UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger is a behemoth when it comes to capabilities and specs. The single unit can replace multiple chargers in your home or office and recharge up to 6 devices simultaneously at max speed. We have been using the 300W Nexode Chargers in our office since 2023 and they have proven both reliable and super convenient for their ability to recharge multiple devices and as they are compatible with just about every charging standard and speed, we could remove many of the different chargers we had sitting around and replaced them with one device. We have been putting the UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger to the test in the office over the past few weeks to see if it is a worthy successor to the 300W charger we reviewed previously. UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger Specs Input: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 7.0A Max USB-C1 Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=3.0A/12.0V=3.0A/15.0V=3.0A/20.0V=5.0A/28.0V?5.0A/36.0V?5.0A/48.0V?5.0A 240.0W Max USB-C2/C3/C4/C5 Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=3.0A/12.0V=3.0A/15.0V=3.0A/20.0V=5.0A 100.0W Max USB-A Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=2.0A /12.0V=1.5A /10.0V=2.25A 22.5W Max Total Output Power: 500.0W Max 500W 6-Port (5USB-C, 1USB-A) GaN Fast Charging V-0 Rated Flame-Retardant Material Support PD3.1 protocol, single-port support up to 240W output, in addition to daily electronics charging, but also for some high-performance gaming laptops Supports fast charging with a wide range of protocols including PD3.0/2.0, QC4.0/3.0, PPS, AFC, FCP, APPLE 5V2.4A, BC1.2 Built-in 6 Gallium Nitride chips, conversion rate up to 95%. Set up multi-channel NTC detection, 100/S temperature detection, and real-time intelligent adjustment. Orientation sensor, when the device is tipped over, it will automatically adjust the power to prevent overheating and damage to the device. Including over-current/overload/over-temperature and 11 other protections. The UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger can intelligently split the 500 watts available across its 6 ports depending on how many are being used. The highest output available from one single USB-C port is a colossal 240 watts. The remaining four USB-C ports each top out at 100 watts, with the USB-A port being capable of 22.5 watts. UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger - How does it perform? We have a collection of power banks here that are used every day. They are large capacity and with the wrong charger, they can take a lifetime to charge. With the UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger, you can plug multiple power banks into charge, along with a MacBook and iPhone, and in short order, you are ready to hit the road. The power banks are essential for journalists as you can charge everything else from them when you are on the go, and being able to charge them quickly is essential. As devices get more powerful and power hungry at home too, the Nexode 500W charger can charge multiple tablets, phones and laptops, all at the same time. It also makes it very straightforward for everyone in the home to use, as you no longer need a specific charger for specific devices. Just find a spare port on the Nexode, and you are all set. Conclusion UGREEN continue to make nicely designed and reliable products that solve problems in your home or office. The Nexode 500W Charger makes it simple to charge any device you may have with its wealth of compatible charging standards and power on offer. It is the first 500W charger available and may be the only one you will need to buy to power all of your devices. The Nexode 500W Charger is available to purchase from Amazon and directly from the UGREEN website now.

Apple's nieuwste iPhone 16 is 'made for AI'. Toch koop je de nieuwe smartphone op dit moment zonder enige AI-functie die Apple beloofde. Is deze iPhone, te koop vanaf 969 euro, zonder AI ook de aanschaf waard? Dat bespreek techredacteur Stijn Goossens tijdens de ochtendspits met Bas van Werven en Frederique Moll.  De iPhone 16 introduceert twéé nieuwe knoppen: de actieknop die de oude mute-switch vervangt (bekend van de iPhone 15 Pro), en een nieuwe camara control-knop (ook nieuw op de Pro-modellen). De camera control-knop maakt foto's maken alles behalve intuitiever. Het lijkt vooral meer tijd te kosten, en veel gebruikers zullen de knop mogelijk bijnan ooit gebruiken. Het enige voordeel: je kan er andere camera-apps sneller mee openen, denk aan Snapchat of Halide.  Verder verschilt de 16 van zijn voorganger door een iets verbeterde accu, wat meer megapixels in de camera en een krachtigere chip. Ten opzichte van de duurdere iPhone 16 Pro is het scherm vooral een doorn in het oog: de 60Hz-verversing en het ontbreken van een altijd-aan scherm doen de iPhone 16 voelen als weinig vernieuwend ten opzichte van 3 jaar terug.  Ben je in de markt voor een nieuwe iPhone? Dan is dit misschien niet direct de beste koop. Voor minder geld zal de iPhone 15 je veel van hetzelfde bieden, zeker doordat Apple's AI de komende tijd nog niet te krijgen zal zijn in Europa. Met een iPhone 12 of ouder zal deze iPhone 16 voelen al een echte upgrade, zeker als je er nog 3-4 jaar mee zal doen. Kom je van een iPhone 13 of nieuwer? Dan zou een iPhone 15 (Pro) ook interessant kunnen zijn, maar een jaartje overslaan is misschien nog wel de meest duurzame keuze.

Ugreen have launched a new charging product, the Nexode RG, which takes a more fun approach with its robot-like aesthetics. Ideal for children or the more playful among us who are looking to add some character to their chargers, the new Nexode RG chargers are highly spec'd and come with all the smart charging and safety features we've come to expect from Ugreen. Just this time, there are some smiley faces and a robot shaped body to shake things up! The Nexode RG robot charger comes in blue and purple colours and as you can see from the images, the base of the unit acts as a cover for the 3 pin plug, making them easy to throw in a backpage or store. There is a 65 watts of charing on offer across 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A ports. The charger supports various fast charging protocols including PD/QC/SCP/FCP so pretty much all bases are covered and you can fast charge most devices with an M2 Mackbook Air charging to 50% in 30 minutes, for example. As you can see in image, the small display on the unit changes depending on what's happening with the charger. Using emjoi-like faces, the display showe when no device is connected, when the device is fast charging and when the device you have plugged in is fully charged which is a handy visual cue to unplug your device. On top of these features, as we mentioned already, there is a full suite of safety features built into Nexode RG such as temperature detection protection from overheating, overcharge, and excessive current as well as a system to make sure your batteries are being charged as best they can to prolong their lifespan. All in all, these are neat little devices which are powerful enough to charge most of your devices while bring a more fun side to something that is usually fairly mundane. The Black and Purple versions are both available to purchase from Amazon now.

Troy Cross and Bitcoin Bassload Treble + Bass = Energy Grid Harmony   In this electrifying episode of BitBuyBit, Max and Jon speak with energy market expert and Pleb Miner Mafia Capo, Bitcoin Bassload as well as Philosopher and Bitcoin enthusiast Troy Cross from the Bitcoin Policy Institute.   The relationship between Bitcoin mining and the American energy industry is complex, nuanced, wrought with acronyms, oversight, and regulation. The purpose of this conversation is to find where we agree and disagree on the relationship between Bitcoin mining and the energy industry and what we as Pleb Miners can do when our energy is focused and pointed in the same direction. Troy and Bassload come from different perspectives when looking at the relationship between Bitcoin mining and energy, but their hearts and minds are focused on making sure that Bitcoin wins.   In this discussion Bassload defines terms like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO), and Independent Systems Operators (ISO) and explains how regulation and government policy steer energy markets. He discusses the Physical Grid versus Policy Grid, balancing authorities, generation fleet mix, and Meredith Angwin's fatal trifecta for the grid: over reliance on renewables, backing up the renewables with just in time resources, and overdependence on neighbors. Bassload offers advice on creating relationships with energy providers: 1. Print the load 2. Pay an invoice. Bitcoin Bassload's Energy Market Inflows can be found on his Substack in which he puts out frequent updates.    Troy discusses the unique characteristics of Bitcoin mining and its relationship with energy, particularly in the context of environmentalism and regulatory arbitrage. He highlights that Bitcoin's decentralized nature and algorithmically fixed production makes it resistant to local regulations and taxes. His point in conveying this, is that Bitcoin mining can take advantage of excess energy in regions with corrupt governments, it can bypass restrictions, and potentially disrupt the energy market. The discussion emphasizes that Bitcoin's fundamental value is tied to the cost of energy rather than fiat currency. Over the long term, government regulations and subsidies may not significantly impact Bitcoin mining, or its adoption. Troy expands on this theory in this recent article.   Treble and Bass = Grid Harmony   Terms and Definitions   FERC- FERC was originally called the Federal Power Commission to then become the Federal Regulatory Commission created on October 1 1977. The FPA was originally designed to coordinate federal hydropower development (in 1920) then in 1935 it was given the independent regulatory status to then regulate both hydropower and electricity.  Then in 1938 the natural gas act gave FPA jurisdiction over interstate NG pipelines and wholesale sales.  FERC was created due to a response to the oil crisis of 1973 and thus passing the Department of Energy Organization act of 1977 in an effort to consolidate agencies into a ‘department of energy'. DOE was born.  Congress insisted that the independent regulatory body be retained. FERC originally was to determine whether wholesale electricity prices were unjust and unreasonable  If so regulate the pricing and give some refunds to ratepayers FERC an independent organization that its commissioners are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate Order 888 was issued in 1996 which created the RTO's (regional transmission organizations) in response to the Energy Policy Act in 1992.       RTO's- Organized by FERC to have what were the former power pools to ‘rebrand' themselves as independent transmission operators that would be able to compete in a wholesale electric market administered by RTO's.  PJM, NYISO and ISONE were first in line. Like an ISO they operate transmission systems and develop innovative procedures to manage transmission equitably.    ISO's- Independent System Operators were designed to consolidate and manage the operation of transmission facilities to provide nondiscriminatory open transmission service for all generators and transmission customers.   Traditional wholesale markets were in the SE, SW and NW and most were vertically integrated where they own generation, transmission and distribution systems to serve electricity consumers.  They also many include federal systems: Bonneville Power System Tennessee Valley Authority Western Area Power Administration   At the wholesale level, the RTO's and the ISO's is managing economic dispatch of generators and its auctions to the clearing price.  Less expensive power gets dispatched first.  RTO controls the bids, they know the cost of fuel, and they know the marginal cost of the next kwh your generator plant makes.  One can add a risk premium to the bids but the RTO's are checking. (Meredith Angwin)    TYPES of RTO's and ISO's CAISO- California Independent System Operator ERCOT- Electric Reliability Council of Texas SPP- SouthWest Power Pool MISO- Midcontinent Independent System Operator (15 states and canadian province of Manitoba)  SouthEast Power Pool PJM- Pennsylvania New Jersey and Maryland NYISO New York Independent System Operator ISONE Independent System operator of New England    Vertically integrated- this is where the same entity owns all of the generation, transmission and distribution to service electricity consumers in the given region that they are in.   PUC's- Public Utility Commission were designed to do a couple of things: Balance the needs of consumers AND utilities  Ensure safe and reliable utility service at reasonable rates Protect public interest Educate consumers to make independent and informed utility choices Typically the PUC's were designed for the consumer, but they are also heavily “in bed' with the utilities Regulate electric, gas, telecommunications, water and wastewater facilities Typically appointed by the governor serving 4-6 year terms. Typically regulate all investor owned utilities in their state Municipalities and cooperative utilities are often exempt from PUC regulations    PUCs often use non-adjudicatory processes to address new and evolving issues. This would include traditional rulemakings, in addition to informal stakeholder collaborative processes. Over the past decade, the stakeholder process has become one of the mainstays of issue resolution. In these proceedings, professional facilitators are often used and the parties work toward a narrowing of issues or their complete resolution through a negotiated or shared agreement. Typical participants include utilities, ratepayer advocates, environmental advocates, and industry advocates.    Load Shape- the amount of energy consumption one uses, measured in watts or kilowatts over a period of time.  When looking at the curve of how that energy is consumed, the shape of that curve is what is monitored.  If flat, good.  If not and seeing spikes means that the shape is inconsistent with the amount of watts consumed over time   BTU- A British Thermal Unit, the base unit of measure for measuring energy in the US.  a btu is the amount of energy required to heat one pound of water    Joule- joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 107 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds.   Watt- the SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second, corresponding to the power in an electric circuit in which the potential difference is one volt and the current one ampere. 1 watt = 1J/s   Baseload- Baseload electricity generation creates 24/7 power to the grid to meet the base energy needs of the U.S. While peaking generation must follow the varying hourly electricity needs as demand rises and falls, base load generation operates constantly to support the increment of demand that is always there no matter the time of day or day of the week. https://energytransition.nema.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/NEMA-QuickFacts-Baseloadgeneration.pdf   Balancing Authority- The BA makes sure that the supply of power on the grid is exactly matched with the requirement for power always.  The BA must keep voltage within a narrow range and balance demand on the grid.  The BA must also make sure that the VARs (Volts Amps Reactive) are in balance. Refer to page 28-30 of shorting the grid.  “A well run grid is like a good bicyclist on a smooth road, while a more difficult grid (more sudden ups and downs in power or energy requirements) requires more of a balancing-type energy (Meredith Angwin).  60Hz or 60 cycles per second in the US 50HZ or 50 cycles per second everywhere else The responsible entity that integrates resource plans ahead of time, maintains load-interchange-generation balance within a balancing authority area, and supports interconnection frequency in real time.   Energy Auction House- mentioned above and see pages of Mereidth Angwins book shorting the grid pages 91-93   Generation Fleet Mix Nuclear  Coal Natural Gas Oil Hydro Solar Wind Geothermal   Renewable energy- Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources that could get used up, such as fossil fuels like coal and oil. (DOE definition) energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. "the environmental benefits of renewable energy" (Oxford Dictionary)   Net Zero- net zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests for instance. To ‘go net zero' is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or to ensure that any ongoing emissions are balanced by removals. (university of oxford) REC- Renewable Energy Credits A renewable energy certificate, or REC (pronounced: rěk, like wreck), is a market-based instrument that represents the property rights to the environmental, social, and other non-power attributes of renewable electricity generation. RECs are issued when one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity is generated and delivered to the electricity grid from a renewable energy resource. RECs include several data attributes, including:* Certificate data Certificate type Tracking system ID Renewable fuel type Renewable facility location Nameplate capacity of project Project name Project vintage (build date) Certificate (generation) vintage Certificate unique identification number Utility to which project is interconnected Eligibility for certification or renewable portfolio standard (RPS) Emissions rate of the renewable resource *Note: This list is not exhaustive and, depending on the market in which the REC is generated, other attributes may be associated with the certificate   Three buckets  o   financial- everything to do with pricing, hedging, derivative markets for energy, from wholesale to retail  o   physical- infrastructure related, engineering and design of the implementation and installation of large equipment o   regulatory- politics, rules and regulation from governing bodies aka FERC, DOE, PUC, ISO, RTO and alike.   We hope this to be the first of many discussions on Bitcoin's relationship with energy markets and energy providers.

Optimal parameters for Rapid invisible Frequency Tagging using MEG

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.21.521401v1?rss=1 Authors: Minarik, T., Berger, B., Jensen, O. Abstract: Frequency tagging has been demonstrated to be a useful tool for identifying representational-specific neuronal activity in the auditory and visual domains. However, the slow flicker ( less than 30Hz) applied in conventional frequency tagging studies is highly visible and might entrain endogenous neuronal oscillations. Hence, stimulation at faster frequencies that is much less visible and does not interfere with endogenous brain oscillatory activity is a promising new tool. In this study, we set out to examine the optimal stimulation parameters of rapid invisible frequency tagging (RFT/RIFT) with magnetoencephalography (MEG) by quantifying the effects of stimulation frequency, size and position of the flickering patch. Rapid frequency tagging (RFT) using flickers above 50 Hz results in almost invisible stimulation which does not interfere with slower endogenous oscillations; however, the signal is weaker as compared to tagging at slower frequencies so the optimal parameters of stimulation delivery are crucial. The here presented results examining the frequency range between 60Hz and 96Hz suggest that RFT induces brain responses with decreasing strength up to about 84Hz. In addition, even at the smallest flicker patch (2 degrees) focally presented RFT induces a significant oscillatory brain signal at the stimulation frequency (66Hz); however, the elicited response increases with patch size. While focal RFT presentation elicits the strongest response, off-centre presentations do generally mainly elicit a measureable response if presented below the horizontal midline. The results also revealed considerable individual differences in the neuronal responses of to RFT stimulation. Finally, we discuss the comparison of oscillatory measures (coherence and power) and sensor types (planar gradiometers and magnetometers) in order to achieve optimal outcomes. Based on our extensive findings we set forward concrete recommendations for using rapid frequency tagging in human cognitive neuroscience investigations. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Tick tock, it's time for this week's EYE ON NPI - this week we're on time and on budget with the EPSON RX4901CE and RX8901CE Real-Time Clocks. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/e/epson/rx4901ce-and-rx8901ce-real-time-clocks). These are two affordable yet ultra-high high precision temperature compensated Real Time Clocks - from EPSON who are well known for their quality crystal offerings (https://www.digikey.com/short/b0t2j2c5). Accurate time-keeping is something folks ask us about a lot - it's a lot harder than most people think! (It's sorta up there with voice recognition and 3D-indoor-spacial-tracking with "things that seem really common but actually are super tough) Most folks are used to alarm clocks that use the power line 60Hz sine wave to keep track of seconds, we've done that for plug-in clocks for almost a century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_clock) And while the utility's mains frequency does fluctuate with load, its compensated overnight so average out to a near-perfect 60Hz (http://leapsecond.com/pages/mains/). If you don't have access to that 60Hz calibrated signal, say because you're battery powered, or using a switching supply, you have a few options for externally-validated time keeping. Some folks like the WWVB radio-signal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB) synchronization modules (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10060) that receive an atomic-clock-accurate signal from Colorado. Others like to use a GPS module, which will get atomic-clock-accurate signals from spaaaaaaaaaace (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4279), finally of course, if you have Internet connectivity you can get time from NTP (https://www.ntppool.org/en/). All of these require a lot of power, and for GPS you need to have an outside antenna - or at least close to a window. WWVB works best in the middle of the country, but we've always had a little difficulty in a NYC apartment. If you want low-power or battery-powered time stamping and logging, a real time clock is the way to go. But these chips aren't sync'd to some global standard and they tend to have a lot of drift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift) - seconds a day, which adds up! This is due to the timing crystal having some variation, usually 10 to 20 ppm. 20 parts-per-million is the same as 20 / 1,000,000 * (24 * 60 * 60 seconds/day) = 1.7 s/day variability, or about a minute a month. So it really can add up! The RTC counter circuitry itself is perfectly accurate, so if we could make sure the crystal was perfect, we'd have no timing issues. To do that, we have to account for the temperature...thus bringing forth the invention of the TCXO Temperature Compensated Xtal Oscillator (https://www5.epsondevice.com/en/products/tcxo/) something that Epson is really good at making! So it's no surprise that they've packaged an RTC chip into one of their crystal-sized enclosures to create a sealed high precision RTC. And the price is really good too! We often see TCXO RTC's for $6-$8, whereas the Epson RX8901CE are $3.25 in quantity and they're also nice and compact, 3x2x2.5mm in size. (https://www.digikey.com/short/mw38mqrz) Both the Epson RX8901CE I2C version (https://www.digikey.com/short/z4rhvbw0) and the RX8901CE SPI version (https://www.digikey.com/short/hmwj9djc) are in stock right now for immediate shipment from Digi-Key! Order today and you'll get it by tomorrow afternoon - so you can stick to your production schedule with a tip-top RTC that won't waste your time.

It's enough to hit Sony's promises, certainly, though there are still odd omissions - while the lack of 60Hz for some PS1 games (for now) points to a rather rushed release.  What can Sony do to build on this launch and improve the new PlayStation Plus Premium further?

Podcast #921: Optoma CinemaX P1 Review

Optoma CinemaX P1 Review For the past year or two we have been talking about removing our projectors and replacing them with very large format TVs. There are a few manufacturers that produce TVs greater than 85” in size and we were stuck in analysis paralysis. There is a video that accompanies this review. Please watch it to help understand the capabilities of this projector.  That is until Optoma announced and shipped the CinemaX P1 Ultra Short Throw Projector (Street Price $3,299.00). This projector can sit as little as 8” away from your screen and project an 85” image. You will need a screen specifically designed for UST use for this review we paired it with a 90” Elite Aeon CLR (Street Price $600). All in the setup cost $3,900.  Let's compare to what is out there in comparable size: Sony XBR-X850G 85” $2,300 LG 86UM8070PUA 86” $2300 Samsung QN82Q70RAFXZA 82” $3300 So yes it does cost a little more, but if you go up those last 5” to 90” you won't find a TV anywhere close in price. And if you wanted to, for an additional $200, you could slide the projector back a few more inches and have a 100” screen. There is no TV that is 100” anywhere near this price! Plus, this was easier to bring into the house and get setup and that includes assembling the screen! Features Smart Control (We did not use any of these features) -  You can control your Smart+ projector with voice control using your Amazon Echo and Google Home devices. IFTTT support enables interoperability with thousands of other smart devices.  Built-In Soundbar by NuForce (We used our 6.1 system and did not turn this on) - The integrated soundbar is designed to produce detailed sound with clear dialogue thanks to its two full-range drivers and two woofers within isolated, ported chambers. InfoWall (Was fun for five minutes then we turned it off)- Transform your wall or screen into your own personal assistant with the InfoWall customizable information display. Configure it to display your calendar, weather information, daily news, and more using the Optoma companion app on your compatible mobile device. SmartFIT (Very helpful feature) - This automatic geometry correction system helps ensure a hassle-free setup that produces properly squared-off images using just your smartphone. LaserGuard - Two built-in PIR sensors detect objects in the light path and automatically dim the light source. Optoma CinemaX P1 Smart 4K UHD Laser Cinema Features: Resolution: 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) Lumens: 3,000 ANSI lumens Contrast: Up to 1,500,000 with Dynamic Black enabled Color: REC.2020, DCI-P3 wide color gamut, HDR10 compatible Throw Ratio: 0.25:1 Image size: 85”- 120” OS: Android 8.0 / Oreo Remote Control: Bluetooth smart home remote with air mouse HDMI-ARC for streamlined setups and reduced cable clutter with popular 5.1 soundbars Other I/Os: 1x HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2), 1x HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2, HDMI-ARC), 1x HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2, side), 1x USB 2.0 (4K media player), USB 2.0 power (side), USB (service), optical S/PDIF out, audio out (3.5mm, subwoofer compatible), RJ45 Setup Setup was a bit more complicated than the typical TV. First you have to assemble the screen which is not terribly difficult. But you do need to be mindful of the screen material so you don't fold or crease it. The screen attaches to the frame with velcro and must be pulled tight for a clean image. Elite screen has a video that we recommend you watch before assembling the screen. It will make things easier. Once completed the screen is mounted via two clips that our screwed into the wall. Elite provides drywall anchors which are plenty strong for this application. The screen is not very heavy at all.  Positioning the screen is a little tricky because the projector does not have lens shift. What we did was project a 90” inch image on the wall and then mount the screen. That sounds easy but before you do that you have to square up the image. You can't use the Smartfit on the bare wall because there is no black screen outline, which is required for the SmartFit algorithm to work. Instead we manually used the geometry settings to square the image. We then pulled the projector back on the TV stand until we had about a 91” mage on the wall. We marked the corners and made sure the screen was mounted within that space. Once the screen was hung will pulled out our phone and used the SmartFIT app and voila! The image got pulled into the screen. It was 99% perfect. There was one corner that need a very slight adjustment. For that we went back to the geometry settings and stretched the image to the corner and we were done! It seems like it was harder to do but I say it was easier than hauling a 85” TV upstairs. Plus there was far less packaging to deal with when it was all done. As far as the TV settings go we did some very minor tweeks, not a full calibration. The only things that were changes off of the default values were the following: Display was set to HDR, HDR Picture was set to Standard, Brightness was set to -2, Contrast to 13, Sharpness to 9. We also made sure the Pure motion was set to off. I recommend you watch the video to see how good the picture looks. We realize that with proper calibration you will see improvements and we may end up doing a full calibration in the future, but we wanted everyone to know a really good picture can be had without the need to spend and additional $300-$500. Performance This is the only thing that really matters. Can this projector replace a large format TV in a room with no real light control? Well the answer is yes! The picture is great when watching anything bright like any sporting event. You can even watch movies with some shadow detail. Although it's not the best. But really, what screen can do dark scenes with good shadow detail in full brightness anyway? We looked at this screen in full daylight viewing and in early evening viewing for the purposes of this review. We recommend watching the video on our youtube channel where you can judge for yourself the quality of the picture. Full Daylight In full daylight we could easily make out the detail in everything we watched with the exception of a few night scenes in Blackhawk Down. The 3000 lumens of laser light combined with the CLR Elite screen make a huge difference when compared to a typical projector. Colors are accurate and the detail is good. There are no issues with off angle viewing. To sum it up, you can watch this projector in full daylight and not feel like you are missing something. Evening As good as the daylight viewing is, evening (or blinds closed) is amazing! Everything we liked about the daytime is amplified at night. Colors are richer, detail is more visible, and contrast is enhanced. It's like you are watching a plasma TV. For the first time since the 4K UHD TV craze it felt like all the additional resolution mattered. The blacks look really good in the evening much better than in the daytime. While watching football, hockey, and baseball we did not notice any motion blur.  We did not game on this projector but being a 60Hz projector at it's highest refresh rate, we'd say there might be some lag for hard core gamers.  Other  The Projector uses an eight segment DLP. We did not see any rainbows during our testing.  There is no chance of image retention. The remote is Bluetooth and as such we were not able to add it to our Harmony Remote. We did enable HDMI control so when a signal was present the projector would automatically turn on. When the signal was absent the projector would turn off. The projector is reasonably quiet. If the projector was on with no audio you could hear it but it wasn't distracting. However with any audio coming through the system the projector was inaudible. Conclusion The Optoma CinemaX P1 is the projector/TV we have been looking for. You can watch sports and even movies in full brightness, but it really shows it's stuff in a dark(er) room. It has good blacks that get even better in the evening. The wide viewing angle means you can sit anywhere in the room and enjoy a stunning 4K picture. This projector can truly replace your family room TV with no need to employ expensive lighting control. The Optoma CinemaX P1 is highly recommended by the HT Guys.

The 7 Best LED LCD TVs - Summer 2019 (RTINGS.com) The editors at RTINGS.com have just updated their Seven Best LED TVs for the Summer and we bring those to you. RTINGS.com is a great resource when you are looking to buy a new UHD TV. They have the most thorough reviews of any site on the Internet. All the TVs that we discuss come with an in depth review that can be found at the links below. Best LED TV: Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED (65” Street Price $2500) The best LED TV is the 2019 QLED Samsung Q90R. It has impressive quality and an excellent dark room performance, thanks to the deep blacks due to the native contrast ratio and very good local dimming support. This TV is suitable for a bright room, as it can get very bright and can easily fight glare. HDR content looks full of saturated colors and bright highlights thanks to the TV's wide color gamut and high HDR peak brightness. It has a very fast response time that delivers clear and crisp motion, which is great for watching sports or playing video games. The input lag is very low even with motion interpolation, and gamers will also appreciate the auto low latency mode and FreeSync variable refresh rate support. Full Review Mixed Usage 8.7 Movies 8.6 TV Shows 8.6 Sports 8.6 Video Games 9.2 HDR Movies 8.5 HDR Gaming 8.9 PC Monitor 9.0 Pros: Very bright both in SDR and HDR. Excellent low input lag and gaming features. Remarkable motion handling. Cons:  Some gray uniformity issues at the edges. CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE: VIZIO P SERIES QUANTUM 2018 (65” Street Price$1500) Mixed usage rating of 8.6 Best LED TV for Color Accuracy: Sony X900F (65” Street Price $1500) If you want the most accurate image, the Sony X900F is the best LED TV for color accuracy that we've tested so far. This TV delivers great picture quality, with an excellent contrast ratio, a decent full array local dimming feature, and great peak brightness. It also has outstanding accuracy out of the box and has a great wide color gamut, which is important for a good HDR experience. This TV also has excellent motion handling, with an outstanding response time, a nearly flicker-free backlight, and a versatile motion interpolation feature. It also has an optional black frame insertion feature, but it can't flicker at 60Hz, so there are noticeable duplications when playing 60Hz content. Full Review Mixed Usage 8.3 Movies 8.5 TV Shows 8.2 Sports 8.1 Video Games 8.6 HDR Movies 8.4 HDR Gaming 8.5 PC Monitor 8.3 Pros: Deep and uniform blacks Excellent motion handling Bright HDR highlights Cons:  Picture quality degrades at an angle CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE: VIZIO P SERIES 2018 (65” Street Price$1000) Mixed usage rating of 8.3 Best Budget LED TV: TCL 6 Series/R617 2018 (65” Street Price $750 if you can still find them) If the Sony X900F is too expensive, the TCL 6 Series R617 is the best budget LED TV that we have reviewed. This TV delivers great performance for most uses. It has excellent dark room performance thanks to the deep contrast ratio and full-array local dimming system. It also has excellent low input lag, perfect for gaming or for use as a PC monitor. Unfortunately, there have been widespread reports of gray uniformity issues with this TV which may or may not have been fixed, so sports fans might not be pleased with this model. Full Review Mixed Usage 8.0 Movies 8.0 TV Shows 7.7 Sports 7.6 Video Games 8.6 HDR Movies 8.1 HDR Gaming 8.4 PC Monitor 8.3 Pros: Very bright in HDR and SDR Excellent low input lag for gaming Good local dimming and native contrast produce deep blacks Cons:  Picture quality degrades at an angle Uniformity could be better CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE: TCL 4 SERIES/S425 2019 (75” Street Price$1000) Mixed usage rating of 7.3 Notable Mentions Samsung Q80/Q80R QLED: Excellent TV; less expensive than the Q90R, but lacks the One Connect box and has less local dimming zones. See review Samsung Q9FN/Q9/Q9F QLED 2018: Excellent TV; worse viewing angles, but some large sizes are probably worth it over the Q90R. See review Sony Z9F: Great TV with great picture quality, but the Vizio P Series Quantum is better. See review Sony X950G: Great TV, but the X900F is less expensive and performs similarly. See review LG SK9500: Good TV with wide viewing angles, but not very competitive. See review Vizio M Series 2018: Good TV, but the TCL R617 is better and cheaper. See review TCL 5 Series/S517 2018: Decent versatile 4k TV, but more expensive than the TCL 4 Series S425 for similar performance. See review Vizio V Series 2019: Decent TV, but the TCL S425 has better smart features. See review Vizio P Series Quantum X 2019: Excellent TV, but not worth the price difference over the 2018 Vizio P Series Quantum. See review

TCL C Series 2017 C807  (RTINGS.COM) This week we wanted to take a look at what on paper is an incredible TV bargain. Seriously, a 65 in 4K UHD that supports Dolby Vision HDR for about $1,100! We're talking about the TCL 65C807 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model). The question is whether it's worth it?  Read the full detailed review at RTINGS.COM   Features: Roku TV smart functionality offers access to over 4,000 streaming channels featuring more than 450,000 movies and TV episodes Pairs 4K Ultra HD picture clarity with the contrast, color, and detail of Dolby Vision HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the most lifelike picture Edge LED backlighting with Dynamic Contrast produces deep blacks and excellent picture quality Inputs: 3 HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 (one with HDMI ARC), 1 USB (media player), RF, Composite, Headphone Jack, Optical Audio Out, Ethernet The TCL C807 4k Roku TV is a decent LCD/LED TV with better than average build quality and design. It features a wider color gamut for vibrant HDR content and very low input lag for responsive gaming. Unfortunately, its blacks are not very uniform, and its picture quality deteriorates even at a slight angle. The TCL C Series C807 LED TV has an average picture quality. The high contrast ratio makes for a good dark room performance, with a high level of detail in dark scene. Unfortunately, the bad black uniformity and the lack of local dimming hurt the dark room performance in the end. When set in a bright room, the C807 performs better, since it can get fairly bright and deal decently with reflection and glare. The gray uniformity is average though and dirty screen effect is visible when watching sports like football. The very narrow viewing angle won't make it the best TV to watch sports event with all your friend since only people sitting right in front of the TV will have the best picture quality. Finally, HDR performance is ordinary since the TV can't really get brighter than in SDR and the lack of local dimming doesn't help even if it has a wide color gamut. The C807 has a below average handling of motion. It has an average response time, causing some visible trails to appear behind fast moving objects. It uses PWM to dim the backlight, but only at low backlight levels, and this isn't noticeable to most people. It can play movies from a Blu-ray or DVD player smoothly, but some minor judder is present when watching movies from a 60Hz source. Most people don't notice judder, so it isn't a big issue. The lack of motion interpolation features may disappoint fans of the soap opera effect. The TCL C807 runs the Roku TV smart platform, which is remarkably fluid to navigate and easy to use. It has a wide selection of apps to download and has a great companion app for phones and tablets. Its weak point is its remote, which has very few buttons and lacks some smart features found in the remotes of other platforms. Test Results: Design 9.0 Picture Quality 7.1 Motion 6.3 Inputs 9.3 Sound Quality 6.2 Smart Features 7.9 Usage Ratings: Mixed Usage 7.1 Movies 6.4 TV Shows 7.1 Sports 6.7 Video Games 7.9 HDR Movies 6.7 HDR Gaming 7.6 PC Monitor 7.3 Conclusion The TCL C807 is decent for a mixed usage. Its contrast is good, and it features a wide color gamut for HDR. Unfortunately, though, its motion and uniformity of the blacks leave a lot to be desired. Decent TV for watching series or broadcast TV in a bright room. The TCL C Series' brightness is decent, and its Roku smart OS gives very easy access to content. Unfortunately, though, it's not great at handling reflections. Mediocre TV for movies in a dark room. The C807 does have a good contrast ratio, but its poor black uniformity and lack of local dimming cause letterboxes to look cloudy and distracting. Mediocre TV for HDR. While the C807 has a wide color gamut and can reproduce smooth gradients, it cannot get bright enough to create a good HDR effect.

Coming up this time on the show, we'll be chatting with Antoine Jacoutot about how M:Tier uses BSD in their business. After that, we'll be discussing the different release models across the BSDs, and which style we like the most. As always, answers to your emails and all the latest news, on BSD Now - the place to B.. SD. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Optimizing TLS for high bandwidth applications (https://people.freebsd.org/~rrs/asiabsd_2015_tls.pdf) Netflix has released a report on some of their recent activities, pushing lots of traffic through TLS on FreeBSD TLS has traditionally had too much overhead for the levels of bandwidth they're using, so this pdf outlines some of their strategy in optimizing it The sendfile() syscall (which nginx uses) isn't available when data is encrypted in userland To get around this, Netflix is proposing to add TLS support to the FreeBSD kernel Having encrypted movie streams would be pretty neat *** Crypto in unexpected places (https://www.marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=142944822223482&w=2) OpenBSD is somewhat known for its integrated cryptography, right down to strong randomness in every place you could imagine (process IDs, TCP initial sequence numbers, etc) One place you might not expect crypto to be used (or even needed) is in the "ping" utility, right? Well, think again David Gwynne recently committed (https://www.marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=142944754923359&w=2) a change that adds MAC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code) to the ping timestamp payload By default, it'll be filled with a ChaCha stream instead of an unvarying payload, and David says "this lets us have some confidence that the timestamp hasn't been damaged or tampered with in transit" Not only is this a security feature, but it should also help detect dodgy or malfunctioning network equipment going forward Maybe we can look forward to a cryptographically secure "echo" command next... *** Broadwell in DragonFly (http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/newhandbook/docs/newhandbook/BroadwellBoxes/) The DragonFlyBSD guys have started a new page on their wiki to discuss Broadwell hardware and its current status Matt Dillon, the project lead, recently bought some hardware with this chipset, and lays out what works and what doesn't work The two main show-stoppers right now are the graphics and wireless, but they have someone who's already making progress with the GPU support Wireless support will likely have to wait until FreeBSD gets it, then they'll port it back over None of the BSDs currently have full Broadwell support, so stay tuned for further updates *** DIY NAS software roundup (http://blog.brianmoses.net/2015/04/diy-nas-software-roundup.html) In this blog post, the author compares a few different software solutions for a network attached storage device He puts FreeNAS, one of our favorites, up against a number of opponents - both BSD and Linux-based NAS4Free gets an honorable mention as well, particularly for its lower hardware requirements and sleek interface If you've been thinking about putting together a NAS, but aren't quite comfortable enough to set it up by yourself yet, this article should give you a good view of the current big names Some competition is always good, gotta keep those guys on their toes *** Interview - Antoine Jacoutot - ajacoutot@openbsd.org (mailto:ajacoutot@openbsd.org) / @ajacoutot (https://twitter.com/ajacoutot) OpenBSD at M:Tier (http://www.mtier.org/about-us/), business adoption of BSD, various topics News Roundup OpenBSD on DigitalOcean (http://www.tubsta.com/2015/04/openbsd-on-digital-ocean/) When DigitalOcean rolled out initial support for FreeBSD, it was a great step in the right direction - we hoped that all the other BSDs would soon follow This is not yet the case, but a blog article here has details on how you can install OpenBSD (and likely the others too) on your VPS Using a -current snapshot and some swapfile trickery, it's possible to image an OpenBSD ramdisk installer onto an unmounted portion of the virtual disk After doing so, you just boot from their web UI-based console and can perform a standard installation You will have to pay special attention to some details of the disk layout, but this article takes you through the entire process step by step *** Initial ARM64 support lands in FreeBSD (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=281494) The ARM64 architecture, sometimes called ARMv8 or AArch64 (https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64), is a new generation of CPUs that will mostly be in embedded devices FreeBSD has just gotten support for this platform in the -CURRENT branch Previously, it was only the beginnings of the kernel and enough bits to boot in QEMU - now a full build (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-testing/2015-April/000918.html) is possible Work should now start happening in the main source code tree, and hopefully they'll have full support in a branch soon *** Scripting with least privilege (http://shill.seas.harvard.edu/) A new scripting language with a focus on privilege separation and running with only what's absolutely needed has been popular in the headlines lately Shell scripts are used everywhere today: startup scripts, orchestration scripts for mass deployment, configuring and compiling software, etc. Shill aims to answer the questions "how do we limit the authority of scripts" and "how do we determine what authority is necessary" by including a declarative security policy that's checked and enforced by the language runtime If used on FreeBSD, Shill will use Capsicum for sandboxing You can find some more of the technical information in their documentation pdf (http://shill.seas.harvard.edu/shill-osdi-2014.pdf) or watch their USENIX presentation (https://2459d6dc103cb5933875-c0245c5c937c5dedcca3f1764ecc9b2f.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/osdi14/moore.mp4) video Hacker News also had some discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9328277) on the topic *** OpenBSD first impressions (http://blog.greduan.com/2015-04-19-mstobfi.html) A brand new BSD user has started documenting his experience through a series of blog posts Formerly a Linux guy, he's tried out FreeBSD and OpenBSD so far, and is currently working on an OpenBSD desktop The first post goes into why he chose BSD at all, why he's switching away from Linux, how the initial transition has been, what you'll need to relearn and what he's got planned going forward He's only been using OpenBSD for a few days as of the time this was written - we don't usually get to hear from people this early in on their BSD journey, so it offers a unique perspective *** PCBSD and 4K oh my! (http://blog.pcbsd.org/2015/04/pc-bsd-and-4k-oh-my/) Yesterday, Kris got ahold of some 4K monitor hardware to test PC-BSD out The short of it - It works great! Minor tweaks being made to some of the PC-BSD defaults to better accommodate 4K out of box This particular model monitor ships with DisplayPort set to 1.1 mode only, switching it to 1.2 mode enables 60Hz properly *** Feedback/Questions Darin writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s21kFuvAFs) Mitch writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s2nf4o9p4E) *** Discussion Comparison of BSD release cycles FreeBSD (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/introduction.html#idp55486416), OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors), NetBSD (https://www.netbsd.org/releases/release-map.html) and DragonFlyBSD (https://www.dragonflybsd.org/releases/) ***
