  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Because stores use a high quality feed

    Yes, obviously, and consumers who are buying such high-end displays should do their best to provide the highest quality source to play back on those displays.

    Distance from the display is important, too. On a small TV, you'll be close to it, but resolution won't matter as much.

    But from across the room, you want a higher resolution display up to a certain point, or else you'll see large pixels, and that looks terrible.

    Personally, going with a 4k TV was a big leap, but the addition of HDR and an OLED display (for black blacks) had the most impact.

  • I find that it really depends on the content on the size of the display.

    The larger the display, the more you'd benefit from having a higher resolution.

    For instance, a good quality 1080p stream vs a highly compressed 4k stream probably won't look much different. But a "raw" 4k stream looks incredible... think of the demos you see in stores showing off 4k TVs... that quality is noticeable.

    Put the same content on a 50"+ screen, and you'll see the difference.

    When I had Netflix, watching in 4k was great, but to me, having HDR is "better".

    On a computer monitor, there's a case for high-resolution displays because they allow you to fit more on the screen without making the content look blurry. But on a TV, 4k + HDR is pretty much peak viewing for most people.

    That's not to say that if you create content, 8k is useless. It can be really handy when cropping or re-framing if needed, assuming the desired output is less than 8k.

  • There was a press conference with the victims, and they said they would be putting together their own list, since they know exactly who was involved.

    However, they didn't clarify whether that list would be made public. I think it needs to be made public.

  • The difference between 1080 and 4K is pretty visible, but the difference between 4K and 8K, especially from across a room, is so negligible that it might as well be placebo.

    Also the fact that 8K content takes up a fuckload more storage space. So, there's that, too.

  • I think you've missed the point. At a certain pixel per inch, your eye cannot see more detail or discern any difference, so it's completely useless to have more if you're not able to pick up on it.

  • Donald Trump posting week-old photo raises eyebrows amid health speculation

  • His health went into deep decline after meeting with Putin. 🤔

  • Only a matter of time before megacorps put ads and a subscription service on bird calls, now. 😫

  • You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?

  • Gonna need something to defend yourself with against invasions from rival gangs.

    Bullets won't protect you against an intentionally set fire to your home or base. Without laws, it won't be gun vs gun situation.

    That said, it would really depend on the type of apocalypse we're talking about.

    Massive natural disaster? Nuclear? Pandemic? "Zombies"? Global drought? A breakdown of society?

    Bullets might be fine depending on the situation. You might not even survive long enough to use them.

  • Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt offered full military funeral, Air Force confirms

  • Babbitt, 35, was an Air Force veteran a domestic terrorist who was fatally shot heroically stopped by Capitol police while protesting participating in a violent seige of the capital insighted by Donald Trump the felon, and child rapist, after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

    The media needs to stop sugar coating the events of Jan. 6.

  • Depends on the apocalypse.

  • Maybe in a zombie apocalypse, but what are you gonna do with bullets in a regular apocalypse?

    You may be the only person you'll ever see for years at a time. You can't drink them, you can't plant them, you can't build with them.

    You could probably use them on yourself if you've got a gun that they work in, though, especially if that's the only one item you decided to choose for long-term survival. 😮

  • Funny, now you'll have the cops arresting you for prompts like "how to survive being homeless?", rather than social services when you prompt "how to avoid being homeless?".

    And will authorities be called when someone prompts "how to shoot wild animals?" when asking about wildlife photography? 😆

  • Read the contracts you sign when you buy your phone

    Contracts? Unless I'm buying a subsidized phone where a mobile phone plan is required, I'm not sure what other contract I'd be signing. I never got one from Samsung, OnePlus, Google, any used marketplace, or Amazon.

    They get paid, and I get hardware to do what I like with it. If I can't do what I want with it, then I'm renting, and I should be paying a rental fee, not a "full price".

  • Google says it's no different than checking IDs at the airport.

    Fucker, if I own the airport, own the planes in the airport, am the only person using my own planes in my own airport, then nobody is asking for my ID.
