Went for a drink at a friends today, took some blurry photos on my way back :

@onlytwowheels you misspelled ugly.

Sorry, it's totally off-topic but i just couldn't keep this for myself anymore !

Nice photos, is that the triangle of doom?

I got a Xiaomi Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34" (which uses a 144hz 1500R Samsung VA panel) that i paid ~350€ a bit more than a year ago but it seems that it's now more expensive than it was so it might not be worth it anymore (but other models using the same panel or an evolution of it might be cheaper), it's decent but lacks contrast in my opinion (but still better than most IPS equivalent models) and 10bit/HDR would definitely be a plus.

Having at least 100hz is indeed a must in 2022, between 100 and 144hz you won't see that much of a difference on most LCD screen (especially compared to 60 to 100hz) but it's still an improvement.

Having bought a 120hz OLED TV in december, i now consider putting the TV on the desk and using it as my main monitor but 55" might be a bit much, the good news is that multiple PC OLED screens are supposed to be released this year.

If you watch movies or TV on your screen, i definitely would recommend a screen with a good contrast ratio as it's making quite a dramatic difference and it's even better for the eyes if you are using it to work.

I can't recommand enough having Ambilight and on OLED panel to watch this show (and it's only at 7/10 Ambilight luminosity here) :

So for me, we cannot, and should not, move on from 2021.

Yes but you need to use a third party which might leave with all of your money, might itself be traceable or simply working with legal authorities (or even being one).

BaT is probably still a better way to launder money anyway.

@415s30 said in Which Country has the Most Luxury Cars per Person?:

@jb-boin They have more base trims, they have Mercedes taxis but until more recently you couldn't get a low level trim in the USA. Recently they seem to be bringing the cheaper cars.

It's not really about the trims, it's that we qualify these brands/models as premium and use the term luxury for brands like Bentley or Aston Martin but it could also be used for some high end models like a S Class, 7 Series and A8/S8.

@bison78 Do people not realize you can do this with cash?

I think it is easier and more hidden if you use bitcoin.

However, most of my knowledge of money laundering comes from watching the first season of Ozarks, so I don't claim to be an expert.

It's actually the other way around, it's actually impossible to hide your transactions as the transactions ledger is open for everone to read (only the adresses are shown but exchanges/authorities could follow the trails).

@cb said in Which Country has the Most Luxury Cars per Person?:

What constitutes a luxury car according to these rankings, though?

What I was wondering. For instance, in the US, most people would probably say any BMW is a luxury car. In Europe, I think they have a much more commoner image.

In Europe we would consider most BMW to be a Premium car, not a Luxury one.
