The funny thing is that Spamhaus (Olaf's mountain lair) said my IP was clean. Any VPN I tried also got dinged.

I just (coincidentally I believe) tried posting from my PC and it worked.

So unfair.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Hey google pixel people (if there are any), my old trust pixel 3 is finally on its very, very last legs. Was looking at the new pixel 6 but I am, if nothing else, a bargain hunter so was wondering if I should try to get a pixel 5 on the cheap or if the upgrade to the 6 with its tensor chip is worth just paying sticker price and riding it until it dies (the 5 years of updates is very attractive).

Re: I need a good boffin.
Question: Does anybody have experience using a lcd tv as a computer monitor? I've noticed that the price of tv's are much cheaper than the price of comparable-sized monitors, so I'm a bit curious about the experience. I understand there are issues of lagtime in tv, but I'm not a gamer—I use my computer for writing, typical internet goof-offery, and Zoom stuff—so would this be a meaningful concern?

Re: I need a good boffin.
I've used a TV as a monitor in a pinch before, but never for too long. I've always found it somewhat fatiguing on my eyes. This article suggests pixel density may be the culprit: https://www.pcworld.com/article/427564/ ... -know.htmlDr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Apr 2022, 8:45amQuestion: Does anybody have experience using a lcd tv as a computer monitor?

That said, if you are in a situation where you can return it if you don't like it, I'd give it a try.
