Trump beordrer Pentagon til å «redusere betydelig» militærøvelsene med Sør-Korea
USAs president Donald Trump ønsker at Pentagon skal «redusere betydelig» sine øvelser med den langvarige allierte Sør-Korea. Han har begrunnet dette med at øvelsene er for kostbare, og har kritisert Sør-Korea for ikke å engasjere seg i USAs konflikt med Iran.
Noen timer før øvelsene skulle starte, skrev Trump på sin sosiale medieplattform Truth Social at han var misfornøyd med øvelsene. Ifølge Reuters snakket han også om sitt forhold til Kim Jong Un, Nord-Koreas leder.
«Disse øvelsene er ikke bare kostbare... men sender et signal som er helt upassende og fiendtlig til et land som, så lenge Donald J. Trump har vært president, har vært ufarlig og respektfullt,» skrev Trump.
Dette har ikke hindret øvelsene i å finne sted som planlagt denne uken, ifølge Sør-Koreas forsvarssjef. For øyeblikket håper Sør-Koreas presidentkontor «at det vennskapelige forholdet mellom lederne i USA og Nord-Korea vil føre til en meningsfull dialog mellom de to landene, og åpne for diskusjoner som tar sikte på å fremme fred og stabilitet på den koreanske halvøya.»

Tests show newer OLED TVs can still experience significant burn-in because they're much brighter, proving that you can't have your cake and eat it
If you've considered an OLED gaming monitor or TV purchase over the last few years, you've probably done a little bit of research on the dreaded phenomena of burn-in. OLED panels can retain ghostly images after displaying static on-screen objects over long periods, although many modern displays appear to be better at mitigating the issue.
However, RTings has some disappointing news. A long-term test of OLED TVs manufactured between 2020 and 2023 did not show significant reduction in burn-in compared to a 2017 LG model—and it's the increased screen brightness that is likely to blame.
The newly-tested OLED TVs are significantly brighter, which means any major improvement in burn-in resistance appears to have been offset—at least under these test conditions. RTings found that the average 2023 OLED was 28% brighter then the 2017 OLED's average in a 10% SDR window test, and 52% brighter in a sustained full-screen SDR test.
This higher brightness appears to have resulted in a stalemate when it comes to burn-in avoidance. The tested TVs were subjected to thousands of hours of non-stop CNN viewing, where the static banner at the bottom of the screen remained present for the entire experiment.
At the 10,500 hour checkpoint, the banner still burnt its way into the display of the newer models to a noticeable degree. Boo, hiss, etc.
However, there is some good news to take from this data. Each of the TVs were tested at their maximum SDR brightness settings, without adjustments to account for the higher brightness levels compared to the older model.
As the newer panels are capable of pumping out a much brighter full screen image, turning down the brightness may result in a longer burn-free lifespan. Or at least, less noticeable burn-in over the same period.
It's also worth noting that this is a deliberate, "worst-case scenario" test, which is far from representative of actual TV usage. The full 18,000 hours stint would be equivalent to 10 years of watching nothing but CNN for five hours a day. Mixed viewing over the same period would be very unlikely to create similar burn-in results.
"What's clear is that for most mixed-content viewers, burn-in remains unlikely to become an issue," RTings concludes. "Users with static-heavy SDR workloads can lower the brightness setting to reduce cumulative stress while still retaining more usable brightness than earlier OLED generations offered."
So, swings and roundabouts. It appears you can't have searingly bright OLED panels and significantly reduced burn-in at the same time, but if you're prepared to turn the brightness down a notch or two, things may well have improved.
For what it's worth, we've tested lots of OLED gaming monitors over long periods of regular usage without noticeable burn-in issues. And for those still on the fence, many manufacturers offer extended warranties for burn-in protection.
It's still worth taking reasonable precautions to extend the lifespan of your expensive new display, but OLED tech is developing at an astonishing rate. Here's hoping that anti-burn-in measures improve as time goes on—because how eye-scorchingly bright do you really need your TV to be, anyway?
Trump beordrer Pentagon til at "væsentligt reducere" militærøvelser med Sydkorea
USA's præsident Donald Trump ønsker, at Pentagon skal "væsentligt reducere" sine træningsøvelser med den mangeårige allierede Sydkorea. Han har påpeget, at omkostningerne ved øvelserne er for dyre, og har kritiseret Sydkorea for ikke at blande sig i USA's konflikt med Iran.
Timer før øvelserne skulle begynde, skrev Trump på sin sociale medieplatform Truth Social, at han var utilfreds med øvelserne. Ifølge Reuters talte han også om sit forhold til Kim Jong Un, lederen af Nordkorea.
"Disse øvelser er ikke kun dyre... men sende et signal, der er fuldstændig upassende og fjendtligt, til et land, der, så længe Donald J. Trump har været præsident, har været ufarligt og respektfuldt," skrev Trump.
Dette har dog ikke forhindret øvelserne i at finde sted som planlagt denne uge, ifølge Sydkoreas Join Chiefs of Staff. I øjeblikket håber Sydkoreas præsidenthus, "at det venskabelige forhold mellem de amerikanske og nordkoreanske ledere vil føre til meningsfuld dialog mellem de to lande, der åbner diskussioner med henblik på at fremme fred og stabilitet på Koreahalvøen."
