1080p media is fine 100mbit internet connection is fine 1440p logical desktop resolution is perfect dimension-wise but a 2880p physical resolution would be much better sharpness-wise. if you go beyond those thresholds does it make things better? kinda yeah but it's very much a case of diminishing returns. high refresh rate is pretty tight though ngl

my parents would not buy us a device just for playing games, so i had to figure out gaming by myself on our old mac ii with floppies i got from the older kid down the street. i have still never owned a game console

my parents bought us a NES but refused to buy games so we only had mario/duck hunt and just rented games on weekends.

I wouldn't take a job where they wouldn't give me a 4K monitor for programming I don't think it's at all necessary for gaming though. I'm happy "different resolution for UI and rendering" seems to be coming over from consoles, at least

On April 30, 1993, the European research organization known as CERN released Tim Berners-Lee’s code for the World Wide Web into the public domain. The internet has many components but this innovation was critical, establishing an information sharing-and-retrieval system that enabled the websites we still use today.

is it actually bad or bad in the same way 5g and vaccines are bad?

i heard a commercial for xfinity 10g, I bet that’s like 5 times worse than 5g

it's bad in that it sprays your exhalations around you with great force also bad in that it works to convert a collective responsibility (pollution and clean air) into a personal luxury product

MeruFM posted:i mean they've been doing that with the air dryers for at least a decade they’re theoretically less bad since they have a large stationary filter to hepa through; the bad air dryers from them were the ones that made you stick your hands between two side pieces like playing operation and you couldn’t avoid touching. the new ones which just spray your hands down on your pants are a little better in that regard lol
