I don’t think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn’t need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

I’ve been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn’t a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.
Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it’s worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.
I don’t use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason
Lojcs@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?2·2 months agoThe latency numbers of displays ie the 8-9 or 40ms include any framebuffer the display might or might not have. If it is less than the frame time it is safe to assume it’s not buffering whole frames before displaying them.
Your GPU has a frame buffer that’s essentially never less than one frame, and often more.
And sometimes less, like when vsync is disabled.
That’s not to say the game is rendered in from top left to bottom right as it is displayed, but since the render time has to fit within the frame time one can be certain that its render started one frame time before the render finished, and it is displayed on the next vsync (if vsync is enabled). That’s 22 ms for 45 fps, another 16 ms for worst case vsync miss and 10 ms for the display latency makes it 48 ms. Majora’ mask at 20 fps would have 50ms render + 8ms display = 58 ms of latency, assuming it too doesn’t miss vsync
Lojcs@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?3·2 months agoStandards were settled on based on power frequencies, but CRTs were equally capable of 75, 80, 85, 120Hz, etc.
That’s why I specified 60hz :)
I see that you meant TVs specifically but I think it is misleading to call processing delays ‘inherent’ especially since the LG TV you mentioned (which I assume runs at 60hz) is close to the minimum possible latency of 8.3ms.
Lojcs@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?4·2 months agoFirst time hearing that about OLEDs, can you elaborate? Is it that the lack of inherent motion blur makes it look choppy? As far as I can tell that’s a selling point that even some non-oled displays emulate with backlight strobing, not something displays try to get rid of.
Also the inherent LCD latency thing is a myth, modern gaming monitors have little to no added latency even at 60hz, and at high refresh rates they are faster than 60hz crts
Edit: to be clear, this is the screen’s refresh rate, the game doesn’t need to run at hfr to benefit.
Gooner bait trailer makes me hope this thing flops.

I’ve been playing it the last week
Surely digital foundry will find improvements but to me this doesn’t look that different than witcher 3. Better animations and hair looks better I think? Never noticed lod transitions myself. The promise of increaaed interactivity means nothing in a trailer neither. I only hope it has better multi core performance especially with ray tracing

That way they stand out when they are fancy. Not that I’ve seen much fancy cheese in burgers, it’s either yellow sandwich cheese, orange sandwich cheese or halloumi, which feels more like a cheese patty than a topping
Lojcs@lemm.eeOPto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•I wish there were boutique mcdonald's style burger shopsEnglish3·2 months agoFair. I usually mess up home burgers with too much topping but maybe it’s time to give it another go

They also either don’t use pickles and onions, use them in trace quantities or use fancy pickles, fried onions and such

So all tiers are getting discontinued… Unless there is an unlisted custom tier? It’s hard to imagine duckducgo only processing 250 requests per second. But then maybe that is enough and didn’t they make their own index anyways? Maybe that was to ease the load
Oh and they suggest using ai instead
