I bloody hate hardware manufacturers. I wanted to use HDR on my PlayStation 5. The console supports it, my TV supports it, my amp supports it, my cables support it. Yet it wasn't working. I tried everything - updating firmware, replacing cables, and even reading the manual. Nothing. And then I stumbled on the answer […]
@Edent that's bizarre. Can I ask if you are using the receiver to do any image processing? I've a Yamaha and its set to just pass through whatever video signal it gets. And it does. Which why I was just wondering if that (a processing step) was why you had to do the enhanced thing.
@drs1969 No. It is set not to do anything.
But the PS5 source communicates with the Amp (sink) to see what it supports. Otherwise it might send something which can't be displayed.

One of the best HTTP clients is the open source tool curl. With ongoing development and continuously new updates, it is worth getting everything out of this powerful tool!
🆕 blog! “Server-Side Rendering of Embedded Markdown Code Snippets in WordPress”
Because I'm a grumpy old man, I don't use Gutenberg or Block themes on my WordPress. Instead, I write everything in Markdown. When I write code snippets in Markdown, they look like this: ```php $a = 1; echo $a; if ($a < 5) { // Do Something return thing( $a, true …
› Open you #MKV file with #MKVToolNix
› Select only the audio track you want and run multiplexing
› You have normally your MKA file now
› ffmpeg -i input.mka -acodec aac -vn output.m4a

🆕 blog! “Find the URl causing your WordPress Error”
PHP has some pretty good error handling and logging, but I do sometimes find it confusing. For example, look at this warning message: [18-Oct-2023 12:34:56 UTC] PHP Warning: Something bad happened in /wp-content/something.php on line 123 OK, so we can go to something.php and scroll to line 123 and try to figure out wha…
@Edent I love posts like these! It’s so obviously scratching such a specific itch that it makes me wonder what you were doing to find the problem in the first place?
Of COURSE we have opinions on the #latte, the drink that built Starbucks (it wasn't espresso; it was the latte! In fact, Starbucks choice of machines during their massive expansion in the 1990s, the La Marzocco Linea 4 group, was based on its massively humongous 15l steaming boiler... for milk production).
We also have a detailed #howto on making a proper latte. Not much #latteart focus. We focus on the Latte itself and a delightful ratio. I hope you enjoy!
We don't just have #reviews and #howto articles on CoffeeGeek. We do occasional news, opinion articles, and we also feature creative writing about coffee culture. And we're always looking for guest writers who can contribute this kind of content.
One thing I want to try and publish more are travelogue type articles and casual historical looks at #coffee.
A recent article that fits this bill is Ethan McGonigal's look at #siphoncoffee and its history in #Japan.
