SMplayer...jitter? Slightly choppy framerate
Hi guys!
So...I have a beefy AMD PC, CPU AMD 7700, GPU 7800XT 16GB, 32GB RAM. Maybe not top of the line, but definitely capable of playing about any kind of video. Well...not with SMPlayer! I get a slightly choppy playback. Like, if the movie being played is 24.97FPS, it feels to be playing at...23FPS? It's hard to tell as there's no obvious proof of what I'm saying. It's usually ok on normal dialog scenes, but super noticeable when the the camera pans around. It can be very distracting.
But VLC on default settings plays the same file consistently better, no noticeable jitter. This applies to about any 1080p/4K file. Also not crazy bandwidth nor anything, a bit under 2GB for 1h worth of video on most TV shows.
SMPlayer uses video output driver - GPU, and in Performance, hardware decoding is set to Auto. I've toyed with several of these settings (vdpau, vulkan, wayland-copy...about anything available in the lists), to no avail. I have checked both with mplayer or mpv as multimedia engine (by default it's specified as 'other' and then the /usr/bin/mpv). Either option has differences, but still get the same...choppy playback. Any idea of what could be wrong? I have no clue on how to troubleshoot this.
I'm using NobaraLinux (Fedora 42, KDE plasma edition).
EDIT: It seems to be refresh rate. The videos are 24, or 24.97FPS, and that doesn't convert well to 60Hz. If depending on the video file I change the output to the TV to 24Hz or 50Hz (I don't have 25 nor 40Hz) then the playback seems perfectly smooth. My follow-up question would be, how can I do this automatically from SMPlayer? Is there a way it either adjusts the screen refresh rate, or interpolates the playback FPS to account for the existing refresh rate?
Israeli controlled UN will add Hamas to blacklist of groups that commit sexual violence as weapon of war without any evidence
There are a few companies on the UN blacklist. But these falsified rape allegations of which the UN and Israel have no evidence are primarily so that countries can smear smear Hamas and prevent organizations such as UNRWA from working with the government of Gaza to help Palestinians.
The UN is directly committing genocide with this designation
Free select screenshot tool for Pop
Hi all. New to Linux, just installed Pop yesterday. I'm trying to find a screenshot tool which allows freeform selection, something which was built into Windows via snipping tool. I've tried Flameshot, Shutter, and a half dozen other programs but either I'm blind or none of them have this functionality.
Can anyone recommend a program that does that? Thanks!
Edit:
Clarification: I want to be able to draw a shape, say a circle instead of a rectangle, and have the screenshot only be of what I've circled. Snipping Tool in Windows had this functionality, you could select that instead of a rectangle or square it would be freeform. I wanted to know if there was any Linux equivalent, because I haven't been able to find one on my own.

Attic Insulation Installers: What You Need to Know for a More Comfortable Home
If you’ve ever stepped into your attic and felt like you were walking into a furnace—or a freezer, depending on the season—you’re not alone. In a climate like Scottsdale’s, where temperatures often soar above 100°F in summer, your attic plays a huge role in determining your home's comfort and energy efficiency. That’s where professional attic insulation installers come in. Whether you're building a new home, upgrading an older one, or just looking to cut down those soaring energy bills, installing or updating your attic insulation is one of the smartest investments you can make.
In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about attic insulation installation, from why it matters to how to choose the right installer in the Scottsdale area.
Why Is Attic Insulation So Important?
Attic insulation acts as a thermal barrier between your home and the outside environment. In the intense Arizona heat, proper insulation prevents the sun’s radiant heat from penetrating your living spaces. During the cooler months, it works in reverse—keeping the heat inside where it belongs.
Here’s how attic insulation benefits your home:
Lower energy bills – By reducing the amount of heat entering in summer and escaping in winter, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard.
Improved indoor comfort – No more drastic temperature swings between rooms or floors.
Extended HVAC lifespan – Less strain on your heating and cooling systems means fewer repairs and a longer operational life.
Environmental benefits – Reduced energy use means a smaller carbon footprint.
Types of Attic Insulation
Before diving into the installation process, it’s helpful to understand the types of attic insulation available:
- Blown-In (Loose-Fill) Insulation
This is one of the most common types for attics. It’s made of fiberglass or cellulose and is ideal for irregular or hard-to-reach areas. It's fast to install and great for topping off existing insulation. - Batt (Roll) Insulation
Typically made from fiberglass, batt insulation comes in pre-cut panels. It works well in attics with standard joist spacing and few obstructions. - Spray Foam Insulation
This option offers superior thermal performance and air sealing but tends to be more expensive. It's especially useful if your attic is prone to air leaks or moisture problems.
Why Hire Professional Attic Insulation Installers?
You might be tempted to tackle attic insulation as a DIY project, but here’s why working with professionals—like our team at Scottsdale Attic Insulation—makes a big difference:
- Accurate Assessment
A certified installer will assess your current insulation, check for air leaks, and identify moisture issues before recommending a tailored solution. - Proper Installation
Even the best insulation materials won’t perform well if they’re improperly installed. Professionals ensure coverage is consistent and complete, avoiding gaps that reduce effectiveness. - Safety First
Working in an attic can be dangerous. Trained installers have the equipment and experience to avoid injury, electrical hazards, and exposure to insulation materials. - Building Code Compliance
Insulation requirements vary by region. A licensed installer ensures your home meets Scottsdale’s building and energy codes, which is especially important if you plan to sell your home in the future.
What to Expect During the Installation Process
At Scottsdale Attic Insulation, we make the process as smooth and transparent as possible. Here’s what typically happens:
Inspection & Evaluation – We start with a thorough inspection of your attic to evaluate current insulation levels, ventilation, and potential problem areas.
Custom Recommendations – Based on your home’s specific needs, we recommend the best insulation type and R-value (thermal resistance).
Prepping the Space – We seal any air leaks, repair damage, and ensure the attic is clean and safe for installation.
Insulation Installation – Whether it’s blown-in fiberglass or spray foam, our team installs your new insulation with precision and care.
Final Inspection – After installation, we double-check everything to ensure maximum performance and customer satisfaction.
Questions to Ask Your Attic Insulation Installer
Choosing the right contractor matters. Here are a few questions to ask before hiring someone:
Are you licensed and insured?
What type of insulation do you recommend for my home, and why?
How long will the installation take?
What R-value do you suggest?
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?

Blown In Insulation: Everything You Need to Know for a More Comfortable Home
If you’re a homeowner in Scottsdale or the surrounding areas, you probably already know how critical proper insulation is to maintaining comfort and reducing energy bills. But if your attic insulation is outdated, compressed, or simply insufficient for our intense Arizona climate, your home could be losing a lot of energy—and money. One of the best solutions to upgrade your home's energy efficiency is blown in insulation.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about blown in insulation, from how it works and what materials are used, to its many benefits and why it's such a smart investment for Scottsdale homes.
What Is Blown In Insulation?
Blown in insulation—also known as loose-fill insulation—is a type of insulation made from small particles of material that are blown into place using specialized equipment. This allows the insulation to fill cavities and cover irregular spaces more completely than traditional batts or rolls.
There are two main types commonly used in attics:
Cellulose – Made from recycled paper products treated with fire retardants.
Fiberglass – Made from spun glass fibers and also treated for fire safety.
Both types are highly effective at creating a thermal barrier that helps keep indoor temperatures stable all year round.
How Is It Installed?
The process is quick, clean, and minimally invasive—making it a favorite among homeowners and insulation pros alike.
Assessment: A professional will inspect your attic to determine how much insulation is needed and identify any issues like leaks, pests, or inadequate ventilation.
Preparation: If existing insulation is damaged or needs to be removed, that step comes first.
Installation: A blowing machine is used to distribute the loose-fill material evenly across the attic floor, filling every nook and cranny.
Finishing Touches: The insulation is leveled to a consistent depth to ensure optimal performance.
For most standard-size homes, the entire process can often be completed in just a few hours.
Why Scottsdale Homes Need Blown In Insulation
Arizona’s climate poses unique challenges—especially the extreme summer heat. Blown in insulation can significantly improve your home’s ability to withstand these temperatures. Here’s how:
Improved Energy Efficiency: A well-insulated attic can lower your cooling bills by up to 20%. Blown in insulation helps create a strong thermal barrier that keeps your AC from working overtime.
Year-Round Comfort: While summers get all the attention, Scottsdale can also see chilly desert nights in the winter. Blown in insulation helps regulate indoor temperatures in all seasons.
Moisture and Mold Resistance: When properly installed, blown in insulation can also help reduce the risk of moisture buildup—especially with cellulose, which is treated to resist mold and pests.
Environmentally Friendly: Cellulose is made from recycled materials, and fiberglass has a relatively low environmental footprint. Both options contribute to greener living.
The Benefits of Blown In Over Other Insulation Types
You might be wondering how blown in insulation compares to traditional batt or spray foam insulation. Here's a quick breakdown:
Feature Blown In Insulation Batt Insulation Spray Foam
Coverage Excellent – fills gaps completely Good – may leave gaps Excellent
Installation Speed Fast Moderate Slower
Cost Affordable Affordable Higher
Sound Dampening Great Moderate Good
Best Use Attics, retrofits Walls, new construction Sealing air leaks
For many Scottsdale homeowners, blown in insulation offers the best combination of performance, affordability, and ease of installation—especially for upgrading attics.
How Long Does It Last?
When professionally installed and maintained, blown in insulation can last 20 to 30 years or more. It doesn't settle as quickly as many people assume, especially modern fiberglass versions, and remains effective for decades. Regular inspections can help ensure it maintains its depth and effectiveness over time.
When Should You Consider Upgrading?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to upgrade your attic insulation:
High energy bills, especially in summer
Uneven indoor temperatures
Drafts or hot spots in the home
Old or damaged insulation
Preparing to sell your home and want to improve energy ratings
Upgrading to blown in insulation is not only practical but also one of the most cost-effective ways to boost your home’s energy efficiency and resale value.
Why Work With Scottsdale Attic Insulation?
At Scottsdale Attic Insulation, we specialize in helping local homeowners stay cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and save money all year round. Our experienced technicians use high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your blown in insulation is installed perfectly the first time.
We understand the unique needs of homes in the Scottsdale area and take pride in providing honest, friendly service with results you can feel.
Final Thoughts
Blown in insulation is a simple yet powerful upgrade that offers immediate and long-term benefits for homeowners in Scottsdale. Whether you’re dealing with rising energy costs, uneven temperatures, or just want to make your home more eco-friendly, blown in insulation is a smart, effective solution.

E' evidente che in questi cinque anni di silenzio ha maturato esperienze personali, uno sguardo, un vissuto e un riequilibrio interiore che probabilmente negli anni passati aveva lasciato in stand-by.

Exclusive: US embeds trackers in AI chip shipments to catch diversions to China, sources say
SINGAPORE/NEW YORK, Aug 13 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have secretly placed location tracking devices in targeted shipments of advanced chips they see as being at high risk of illegal diversion to China, according to two people with direct knowledge of the previously unreported law enforcement tactic.
The measures aim to detect AI chips being diverted to destinations which are under U.S. export restrictions, and apply only to select shipments under investigation, the people said.
Five other people actively involved in the AI server supply chain say they are aware of the use of the trackers in shipments of servers from manufacturers such as Dell and Super Micro, which include chips from Nvidia and AMD
Those people said the trackers are typically hidden in the packaging of the server shipments. They did not know which parties were involved in installing them and where along the shipping route they were put in.

Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England
Under the plans, 10 live facial recognition (LFR) vans will be used by seven forces across England to help identify "sex offenders or people wanted for the most serious crimes", according to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
The tech, which has been trialled in London and south Wales, will be subject to strict rules, the Home Office said, but human rights groups have warned it is "dangerous and discriminatory".
Amnesty International UK said the plans should be "immediately scrapped", with facial recognition proven to be "discriminatory against communities of colour".

Temperature records broken as extreme heat grips parts of Europe
Extreme heat is breaking temperature records across Europe, early measurements suggest, and driving bigger and stronger wildfires.
In south-west France, records were broken on Monday in Angoulême, Bergerac, Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion and Saint-Girons. Météo France said the “often remarkable, even unprecedented, maximum temperatures” in the region were 12C above the norm for the last few decades.
In Croatia, air temperature records were set in Šibenik, at 39.5C, and Dubrovnik, at 38.9C, while large forest fires raged along its coasts and ripped through neighbouring countries in the Balkans.
Beyond Europe, dozens of temperature records were broken across Canada, and record-breaking heat above 50C in Iraq was blamed for a nationwide blackout.

If someone says they're a zionist, explain to them what it actually means, they most likely don't know they're out right saying they approve of genocide.
That stalls a lot of Israel's far right support. The people in Israel and Palestine know what it means, and when foreign leaders identify as a Zionist, it's a form of psychological warfare. When foreign leaders have to publicly back track and admit that Zionism is genocide, that's a huge win
You're arguing to not fight that battle.

Most Zionists I know claim that having/living in a Jewish state makes it easier to live Jewish without trying so hard. But if your religiousness is too inconvenient for you, you don't get to make it everyone else's problem. Also, of your Jewishness is essentially in the same category as an icebreaker, your either A) boring, B) not that into your religion/culture, or C) lording your religion/culture over others. So many of my family members constantly concern themselves with historical Jewish hate, which I get and I share some of those fears, but saying that we're the most hated peoples ever while being cheered on for beating the shit out of other people is a good indicator that we're not as reviled as our victims.
