    I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, while Apple puts it on top

    One of the problems with Hollywood today is that all the movie editors are now using HDR screens with 1000 nits brightness, and they don't realize that they are making every movie and TV show way too dark to see. Take this example... how the f... will you be able to watch this?

    Danish news site reminds people of being skeptical of how news photographers take pictures. Here is the same place, one picture taken with a zoom lense, and the other with a wide-angle lense: nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2020-0…

    My gaming laptop has 300 nits maximum brightness... and, during the day, it has become impossible to watch many TV shows and movies ... I have to wait until it's dark and turn off all lights. This was never a problem in the past.

    And here is what it looks like adjusted... but there was so little color information left that it's basically impossible to correct.

    Here I have opened this up in my photo editor, and you can see that the colors/brightness of this entire scene has been completely crushed.

    And just like that, the White House becomes a fake news site.

    The White House site now says that "killings have risen by 50%" in D.C. That is incorrect. They were up in 2015, down in 2016.

    One of the problems in my country (Denmark) is that everyone has decided that COVID doesn't exist anymore, and part of the reason is that if you just look at the data, it doesn't look that bad. But this is deceptive, and let me explain why.

    In other words, both the health authorities and the Danish press is misleading the public about this. This is not a 'small' part. It's the opposite. It still means that the majority of people are hospitalized because of COVID. If we put this into a graph, it looks like this:

    I want to make a very important point. A narrative here in Denmark is that we can't trust hospitalizations because only some of the hospitalizations are because of COVID, while others are just people with broken arms who then also happen to have COVID.
