Welcome to HackerPup Radio everyone, my name is Soak, once again I seem to be doing this
|
|
at the very last moment except this time I don't actually have a script written. I should
|
|
be doing the continuation of my Python programming 101, should be writing the game of life except
|
|
I haven't written it yet. I've written some of it but haven't got it all narrowed down
|
|
and actually explaining it well. Sometimes I can write the code and then take some of
|
|
my bar to explain how I'm doing it. I've always been busy with immigration noise and
|
|
stuff which is a really long story. If you see me Twitter and stuff you probably know
|
|
some of the history there but I'm not going to bore you with details because I could fill
|
|
in entire podcasts just probably not about that. So very quickly I'm going to be explaining
|
|
how to set your monitor up right. Which sounds silly but for years I was doing it, well
|
|
I was doing it the way I thought it should be. Brightness is brightness, contrast is contrast
|
|
and colour is colour. And then I read one place on the internet many years ago about
|
|
the way you should actually do it and they explained why it's a better way of doing it.
|
|
So I'm going to share this with you. First of all open a dust prompt terminal whatever,
|
|
something black basically. Even going to the gimp and just make something black. We need
|
|
a black but we can test against. Then take contrast all the way down and brightness all
|
|
the way down. Obviously now I have a completely black screen. Now what you need to do is turn
|
|
the brightness up as much as you can but keep the black being black. If you turn it up
|
|
too much it's going to bleach it out until I make it grey. This way you know it's not
|
|
going to bleach any of the colours on. Now that you've got that brightness setting
|
|
don't touch the brightness and use instead the contrast button as the actual brightness
|
|
which sounds weird. But increasing the contrast will now increase the brightness but it won't
|
|
bleach any of the colours out. If you've got a colour setting obviously just play around
|
|
that so it doesn't bleed the colours over. But this is apparently the best way of setting
|
|
up the monitor, the prop way of setting up the monitor and I have no idea why they call
|
|
brightness brightness but you shouldn't use it as brightness. So go figure. Anyway hopefully
|
|
I can get the game over when I finished off soon and you can hear that one next month.
