A bit of old news, but good stuff regards xbox 4k blu ray player


As some may or may not know the xbox one s and the xbox one x both have the ability to play 4k blu rays.

The xbox s in particular is a very low cost 4k blu ray player, and it did a very good job but at least it seemed like the colors were a bit off on the video content, at least last year(2017).   It appears Microsoft has fixed the bugs as of march, so an update to the player software should fix most of the issues most have had with 4k playback on xbox.

That is the benefit of a console media player, constant updates for many many years, stand alone blu ray players may often face less support and dwindling support within years.

A ‘Display’ notification in the latest Xbox One System Update notes, though, states that the new firmware ‘resolves issues with RGB colors when displaying in 4K HDR mode when playing a UHD disc.’-forbes xbox one 4k player article

study of facial features might indicate evidence of potential criminality. Comment

Link Troubling Study Says Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Who Will Be Criminals Based on Facial Features

Comment: While it is true that it need not necessarily be the case that such predictions might be based on nothing more than spurious correlation, such is still a very real and valid possibility.  Until more is known about the genetics of face formation, the alternative cannot be entirely ruled out.  The body's organ development sometimes shares genes for different systems.  The size of organs involved in testosterone production or the size of certain brain regions could be in part influenced by genes that influence facial shapes.   IT is not yet entirely beyond conception that such could not only be shared in some way but that one may signal aspects of the other system.    Though again that is speculation, more information is needed regards facial development and why the genetics of it which may be evidenced in the constructed features may or may not associate with criminal tendencies.
