A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago.
He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like.
His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds.
"You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes.
The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him.
Here's every setting he changed 🧵
Haaland bought his cowboy fit at a store in Dallas 3 hours after scoring the winning goal against Ivory Coast.
Asked if they sold Nike boots. Always be selling lol
Kalshi's first example of a small business using it as hedging tool is The Jeffrey, an NYC bar that's promising free drinks to all customers if New York Knicks wins NBA Finals Game 1 on Wednesday
Just came across this clip. If you’re too young to remember Marv Albert broadcasting Knicks games on radio, you’re in for a treat. Quite simply, the greatest basketball broadcaster of all time. What an era. Poetry on the court and in the booth.
This putting lesson from Tiger Woods has improved my putting 50%.
(From very bad to kinda bad.)
Somehow the way he presents the idea of how the putter hits the ball just clicked with me.
I used to have a longer follow through when putting. After this, I changed and my putting instantly improved.
37 years ago, the world lost Gilda Radner
I often think of the sketch.
Hours after she died, Steve Martin hosted SNL and scrapped his monologue. With tears in his eyes, and a joke, the show paid tribute to her with their classic: Dancing in the Dark.
As a financial planner working with high net worth 30-50 year olds, I find blind spots in everyone's financial life
Many people get the basics right
But they miss critical aspects of their financial planning
Here are the 6 most common blind spots I see so you can avoid them:
In 2003, Drew Carey reportedly smoked before filming the final Whose Line Is It Anyway? sketch of the episode. As a result, the rest of the cast opted to mess with him throughout the bit instead of sticking to a normal performance.
The time Dave Chappelle hosted SNL and they put on an all-time great sketch.
The one with Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, The All State Guy, and Count Chocula. 😂
Another angle of the UA 767 that hit a truck on approach to Newark in Sunday. Man, had they gone a LITTLE bit lower it would have been catastrophic.😳😳 Very curious on how the inquiry will follow
After listening back to all of John Sterling's signature calls, it occurred to me that Jason Giambi's walk-off grand slam over the Twins in 2002 sticks with me the most because... it played on a talking bottle opener I had. A great call, too. His classic booming voice. #Yankees
rolex makes objectively good watches, but the brand is so closely associated with a kind of status-obsessed braggart who's constantly assessing other people's social positions that it's hard to get into their watches. spiritually painful.
