Surprise, you get the spam even if you use Outlook.

It doesn’t need to. It’s already unaffordable.

RT has been a plague. The cope going from “4K native 144Hz only bro, potato consoles just can’t keep up” to “just use DLSS to bullshit as many pixels as possible” has been unreal.

It’s apparently just a choking hazard rather than toxic.

You don’t get to be worth 5 trillion dollars by giving out discounts…

The landlord special, which I’m sure they learned from that episode of Mr Bean.

Whatever happened to the art of shoving an extra pair of socks down your trolleys?

Christ, what a walking (cycling) stereotype.

I guess if he got hungry he could have started on the string of garlic he was wearing around his neck.

One man’s quest to own all the leather jackets on Earth.

No, but nobody is out there making JD Vance their entire personality.

Billions in investment. Trillions in speculation. All on something that makes less money than Genshin Impact.

Fun times.

The pain of being the computer guy among non-computer guys.

T-shirt and cargo shorts, actually.

It’s not a personal Jellyfin server, it’s training material for a possible future AGI. It’s going to know a lot about terrible horror movies.

Exactly, one man’s mission to soak up as much money from religious nutters as possible.

Just as the church has always done.

That dream of an AGI just a little further away every day.

Well, some lawyers are about to make a shit load of money as this drags out for a decade.

The main advantage in 4K TVs “looking better” are…

1. HDR support. Especially Dolby Vision, gives noticeably better picture in bright scenes.

2. Support for higher framerates. This is only really useful for gaming, at least until they broadcast sports at higher framerates.

3. The higher resolution is mostly wasted on video content where for the most part the low shutter speed blurs any moving detail anyway. For gaming it does look better, even if you have to cheat with upscaling and DLSS.

4. The motion smoothing. This is a controversial one, because it makes movies look like swirly home movies. But the types of videos used in the shop demos (splashing slo-mo paints, slow shots of jungles with lots of leaves, dripping honey, etc) does look nice with the motion interpolation switched on. They certainly don’t show clips of the latest blockbuster movies like that, because it will become rapidly apparent just how jarring that looks.

The higher resolution is just one part of it, and it’s not the most important one. You could have the other features on a lower resolution screen, but there’s no real commercial reason to do that, because large 4K panels are already cheaper than the 1080p ones ever were. The only real reason to go higher than 4K would be for things where the picture wraps around you, and you’re only supposed to be looking at a part of it. e.g. 180 degree VR videos and special screens like the Las Vegas Sphere.

Loads of them if you stay away from multiplayer slop.
