I’d more like put color e-ink into that category - as gimicky and half-baked technology building on a more established one (e-ink is doing quite well with readers, low-power displays, etc.)

I’ve found some, but they’re mostly obscure and older out-of-support stuff. But anecdotally something like less than 5% of my library didn’t work with it.

Or quality.

Bruh, my whole mid-to-high range gaming PC costs 850 to 2K euro. What is the intended use of such an expensive RAM kit? Is it LLMs again?

If you’re sitting the average 2.5 meters away from a 44-inch set, a simple Quad HD (QHD) display already packs more detail than your eye can possibly distinguish. The scientists made it crystal clear: once your setup hits that threshold, any further increase in pixel count, like moving from 4K to an 8K model of the same size and distance, hits the law of diminishing returns because your eye simply can’t detect the added detail.

I commend them on their study of human eye “pixels-per-degree” perception resolution limit, but there are some caveats to the article title and their findings.

First of all, nobody recommends a 44-inch TV for 2.5 metres, I watch from the same distance and I think the minimum recommended 4k TV size for that distance was 55 inches.

Second, I’m not sure many QHD TVs are being offered, market mostly offers 4k or 1080p TVs, QHDs would be a small percentage.

And QHDs are already pretty noticable quality jump over 1080p, I’ve noticed on my gaming rig. So basically if you do the jump from 1080p to 4K, and watch 4k quality content, from the right distance - most people are absolutely gonna notice that quality difference.

For 8Ks I don’t know, you probably do get into diminishing returns there unless you have a wall-sized TV or watch it from very close.

But yeah, clickbaity titled article, mostly.

Discontinue the lithium.

Didn’t read the article, didn’t upvote the post, and don’t imagine people cursing him in the comments bothered to that, too. So we kept engagement to a minimum and to just hurl some profanities at him, the skies, or whoever reads. It helps to calm the nerves after another spotting in the news. I long for the moment when he reaches his Howard-Hughes-locked-in-a-hotel-room phase.

I can imagine him livestreaming it already, singing songs of praise about it, while playing completely alone (or to a small audience of sicophants).

Anyway idgaf what ElRon is doing with his time, as long as it doesn’t affect me and other people.

Or they just don’t like the way Kurzgesagt presents their information. Just like they wrote. Different folks, different strokes.

Completely agree, their channel has changed a lot and seems to be producing videos on a conveyor belt now, while before they used to do one video or maximum two a month. Now it seems they produce a video a week, and interesting topics are more hard to come by.

When they said that they’re “almost 70 full time people and a lot of freelancers on top” I almost did a spit take. I know there are big channels and operations on YT, but this seems such an unreasonable amount of employees for this type of channel and audience. No wonder it feels oversaturated and overdone, they probably feel the need to put more and more videos to keep their huge team and expences afloat.

Just find a sustainable pace and team size, don’t go the corporate way of growth over all.

Oops! 🤷

UK if I have to guess.

“Akira” when I was 10-ish. Wanted to check what this anime thing was about, was not prepared for nuclear blasts, and people becoming giant body-horror amoebas. Still, it was a good intro into anime, along with Dominion Tank Police (another hilariously not-for-10-year-olds number). And set the bar way too high for most other ones I watched later.

For me in American English it’s also the commas that go inside the closing quotation marks, even when they’re not part the original quote. I die a little every time I see this, so illogical.

If it’s not part of the quote, just leave it outside.

This is what conspiracy thinking looks like. It’s me. I’m the one conspiracy thinking.

That’s some quality reasoning and conspiracy thinking 👍

Judging by all the vaguely hostile comments, you seem to have struck a chord here.

Poor Volta.

Didn’t know that, thanks.

It’s kinda tough sell without wireless for such price, for me. Though I guess it’s maybe a tough fit with their modular design ambitions, and corners have to be cut somewhere to keep their higher costs down.

Wirelessly.

Or you switch to your bluetooth buds during a wired charge.

I’m all for audio jacks, but have been using a phone without one for 4 years now, and there are so many options to not be incovenienced.

Also I don’t use my audiophile headphones with the phone at all - DAC on it just isn’t good enough to get most out of then, prefer to use them with my desktop PC amp only.

Who TF is their target audience?

Useful idiots
