  1. Already answered.
  2. Are you using a good quality new displayport cable, or the same old HDMI from your old monitor? 4k HDR needs a lot more data, and some cheap cables can't handle it.
  3. 🤷 Change to colors to what feels right. Unless you're a graphic professional, it's more about preference than some perfect standard.
  4. Yeah. There's a lot more pixels in a little more space. Each of them is smaller, and you may need to zoom on text-heavy apps that aren't optimized for 4k.
  5. Lots of new monitors default to a power saving mode where brightness is capped. You'll have to disable that to get the full brightness they advertise.

Post-Chaplinsky

The Court has continued to uphold the doctrine but also steadily narrowed the grounds on which fighting words are held to apply.

Not a lawyer, but the subsequent cases seem to limit the doctrine so much that it hasn't really been upheld at all. Basically now you can't be charged with assault if both parties literally agree to fight. Everything else sure seems to be covered as free speech.

Unpopular opinion of the day: "The Force" isn't any more magic than Betazoid telepathy, replicators, or transporters.

Whatever you pay in insurance is unlikely to cover the damages won by an injured party. That money is coming out of the pockets of people who will never cause an injury.
