  • So for a clock and picture frame you’re not gunna believe this but…

    And for a weather forecast I mean just make a widget on your phone’s home screen, it’ll be fine. The techification of every damn fucking thing we have is ridiculous and we so happily dive into filling our lives with nonsense just to have a theoretical 1% improvement in efficiency that we don’t even need.

    I’m not saying we need to throw out all technology but we also don’t need to jam modern tech into every single aspect of our lives.



  • Yes, but you got yourself real pissy over it and have just now admitted that the one piece of criticism you had in your original comment was already addressed in the article. Obviously if we start talking about situations that are extreme outliers there will be edge cases but you’re not adding anything to the conversation by acting like you’ve found some failure that, in reality, the article already addressed.

    I’m not sure you have the reading the comprehension and/or the intention to have any kind of real conversation to continue this discussion further.


  • This is literally the only truly important part after a certain threshold. I have a 34”, 1440p monitor and the text is noticeably better than any 1080p screen. It’s entirely legible and 4K would not provide a new benefit except maybe a lighter wallet. It’s also 100Mhz which is again beyond the important threshold.

    The only time I can see 4K being essentially necessary is for projectors because those screens end up being massive. My friend has a huge 7’ something screen in the basement so we noticed a difference but that’s such an outlier it should really be a footnote, not a reason to choose 4K for anything under 5’(arbitrary-ish number).





  • Tesla, the company run by a nazi capitalist and which has a value so inflated it’s amazing it hasn’t imploded under its own weight, raises it’s prices and you’re blaming batteries? You do know that every saving a corporation makes goes towards profits and that they never lower their prices as long as people are buying(and even then, they refuse to most of the time)?

    There’s correlation not equalling causation and then there’s whatever the hell this is. Like one of the final bosses of that logical fallacy.



  • “Guys look out, this might lead to job loss.”

    “JOB LOSS? UHHHH…” Fires a bunch of people, for some reason

    It’s got the same energy as being warned that your house could burn down if you let your kid play with matches so you pour some gasoline on your kitchen floor and make a bonfire.

    Also I love how these people will do this shit without even checking if it would actually work but a 4-day work week, which we know will benefit everyone through many case studies, is apparently too much of a risk. Executives really are the dumbest, cruelest people humanity has to offer.
