[Interactive zoom] A bug? on an upside-down recorded video

The camera was upside-down when recording. Orientation was automatically fixed on replay.

However with interactive zoom, the picture-in-picture showed at bottom-right, which could be fine, but the corresponding interaction area was still at top-left. Both zoom level and zoom area could be adjusted if you mouse dragged on the correct spot, at top-left.

Is it a bug?

Big screen, small workspace

  1. https://imgur.com/a/XMxsyrg
  2. If you're using a crazily large screen and you can't sit far,
  3. so as to save your neck,
  4. is there an easy solution to make use of only a certain fraction of it,
  5. with the cursor bound to the work area, (cursor go out of it),
  6. and within a button or a script, easily switch to full screen when wanted?

Are there video players that can zoom in?

or show videos at exact resolutions, say 4K, on a 2K monitor so that the video window is larger than the screen and I can move the window to the viewport to see the unscaled image?

How to tell if an enemy is dead when they fall?

If the head blows, I know.

Otherwise, I need a way to conserve matches.

Please rank easiness of the tones

From easy to hard, eg 1,4 > 3 > 6 > 2,5

And state your first language, and other languages that you speak with certain fluency before learning Cantonese.

Me, native.

If you originated from HK, how many people that you know have moved to the UK?

You know them and they know you.

They were not from the UK. They moved there.

Telling people to jump, without further context, means telling them to commit suicide?

There was a thread asking what would you tell them if you had direct access to the ear of everyone on Earth (something like that, I can't recall exactly, and the thread was removed). My reply was exactly this:

>On my count to jump. 3,2,1, jump.

Then Reddit gave me a warning because I "threatened or encouraged violence or physical harm." (rule 1).

I can only assume that they think I was encouraging suicidal jump from the window.

I was thinking if everyone jumps from where they stand or sit, that may be able to cause an Earthquake. I've been thinking about that before internet was a thing, at the era when everyone was always watching TV, to broadcast such an experiment in a country having a large population.

[ddcutil] Monitor's black can be more black?

--rw means to list only readable and writable parameters.

So black level can be set.

Currently a blank screen has some backlight compared to an powered-off screen.

Does it mean black on a powered-on screen can be more black?

Monitor is IPS, Dell U2518D.

ddcutil getvcp known --rw | grep 'Video black level'
VCP code 0x6c (Video black level: Red        ): current value =    50, max value =   255
VCP code 0x6e (Video black level: Green      ): current value =    50, max value =   255
VCP code 0x70 (Video black level: Blue       ): current value =    50, max value =   255

When an enemy comes to arm's length, inventory auto opens

It's probably a feature? I thought it was my controller's ghost press, but that happens every time and is super annoying. It confuses me. I just want to run away. Now I got hit, many many times.

How to specifically install an older version of nvidia driver?

[Edit 1] I installed nvidia-driver-470**-server** and it worked, no dependencies on 535.

[Edit 2] I'm not sure now. After installing the *-server package, nvidia-smi works, but VGA controller is Intel?

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
$ lspci | grep -i nvidia
04:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 730M] (rev a1)

======================

apt wants to add packages for 535 when I tell it to install 470.

各位可以確認這個說法嗎?

在香港以上以下一定是空心圓,所以會寫「XX或以上」。

大陸應該也是。

日本我知道是實心圓。

台灣不是有「XX以上(含)」的用法嗎?

CMHK SIM no VoLTE option?

CMHK is repeatedly sending SMS to remind me to turn on VoLTE.

My Android doesn't show such option.

The phone is dual-SIM. The other SIM shows this option, and Wi-Fi calling.

I have swap SIM slots and it's the same.

CMHK customer service confirmed my SIM can use VoLTE.

I'm receiving bad signal from CMHK at home, so VoLTE may be useful.

Hi residents of Japanese/Korean origin, questions about HKID

  1. Do your names in English on the card start with the family name? (Same question for people of other origins)
  2. Are you allowed to use a name in Chinese that is unrelated to your official name? (People with no name in Chinese are allowed to choose whatever they want)
  3. If your name contains kanas (I don't know the case in Korea), are they allowed in your name in Chinese?
  4. If your name contains non-Chinese characters (辻, 畑), are they allowed in your name in Chinese?

Connection Reset error to a site, but is OK when through VPN

  1. jisho.org is a Japanese kanji dictionary site.
  2. I've been visiting it ok.
  3. Since April I've been seeing connection reset every single time.
  4. I don't know if it's caused by router settings.
  5. I can see this site through VPN to other countries.
  6. I can see this site even through VPN to my country.
  7. Other people using the same ISP as mine tested no problem.
  8. I don't see any other report of this issue. This site is popular so any other occurrence should have been discussed somewhere.
  9. Firefox shows "this TLS handshake finished for jisho.org..." many times when trying to establish a connection. The line flashes so fast I can't really read it.
  10. Router Netgear R7000, stock ROM. Not recently updated.
  11. [Edit] Confirmed the issue is on my router (but don't know where). I plugged the PC straightly to ISP's line without router and things were OK.

====================================

Firefox PC.

>Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to jisho.org. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR
Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

Chrome PC.

When this error is shown, the site can be pinged.
