I know this is mostly parody, but I'm curious if anyone has good starter templates for something that covers the general stuff and doesn't require a lawyer to customize

I like the [Basecamp policies](https://github.com/basecamp/policies). Explicitly open source, limited legalese.

Thanks! Basecamp's and Github's were a few of the open source ones I came across

It's possible, but then wouldn't retailers who don't force their customers to crawl through an LLM maze eat their lunch? Natural economics at play would still happen I think

Maybe. In a world where people are already vendor locked to Prime or Walmart there’s a nonzero switching cost. Amazon product search already has a ton of problems but they get away with it because of free 2 day shipping.

Amazing stuff, have you written up a blog post? I could see a video being a fun format for this as well. Might help people develop the intuition for watts/power consumption in a different way


Kind of, it's in bits and pieces here:

and is also a few years out of date.

I did do a video back then going against the infamous "bicycle toaster challenge" video (in which I determined it was probably less real than they made it out to be). I'm nowhere as fit as those guys, so in my attempt I was only able to turn a bagel into a dry crouton over the course of an hour.

This led me down a bit of a rabbit hole but, yikes

Appreciate the suggestion!


Appreciate the feedback and notes here- I would love to revisit the methodology and use a separate physical brightness meter to normalize for that. To my best memory I made sure both devices were at max stock brightness for each photo.


Thank you!


Not to my knowledge, I think Samsung was one of their manufacturers for a while, but they do have patents on nano texture which differs somewhat apparently from traditional matte screens. I'd love to understand more of the differences and more about their manufacturing process though.


Yes, the HDR boost is awesome as well, combined with nano texture it feels like overkill, but I love it.


Author here, I published this a few months back but have been continuing to use it on a daily basis - everything I wrote stands

Feel free to ask any other questions!


I tried the iPad Pro with Nano Texture and found the display to have a rainbow grain, especially on pure white backgrounds.

Are you bothered by anything similar on the MacBook?


You’re not the only one to mention that in this thread. I’ve had a nanotextured MacBook as a daily driver for about six months, and I have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe the issue is iPad only?


Rainbow isn't really the right term. It's more of a sparkling effect. Apple actually uses the term "sparkle" for this characteristic in their patent for the display treatment (see para 0073). They also mention that different diffractive layers can be used to minimize the effect, so it is possible that the issue is worse on some devices than others.


Well whatever it is, my MBP screen looks perfectly fine. It's like a matte display, but not with the colors all washed out like the matte displays of yore. No visible artifacts of any kind that I can see.


I personally haven't noticed that. I am also primarily coding & writing rather than image editing or such so am less sensitive to things like that fwiw.
