I sincerely hope that this last fight is the dying breath of a regime that's been backed into a corner and knows it's about to be put down for good. But maybe that's wishful thinking.
Well it's more like you'll get the usable parts without a huge premium. The was a time when monitors faster than 60hz were premium but now it's pretty common to see 120hz and beyond on even basic monitors.
There's still diminishing returns as you go higher, but there's definitely a noticeable difference between 60hz and 120hz, as well as a less noticeable but noticeable difference between 120hz and 240hz.240hz is becoming more standard now on regular high end monitors and beginning to trickle down too.
Beyond that in terms of response times, you might not notice a difference between 240hz and 360hz, but image clarity will be better because you'll get less ghosting just from the virtue of the pixels changing so quickly, so it's not entirely useless.
Part of the reason you're seeing this is because they can. The panel technology (OLED in this case) is super fast due to it's design, so it's not too costly to add the necessary hardware to drive those speeds. For LCD tech, you do get to drive the panels faster and harder, that's why older screens required shitty TN panels to get those refresh rates, but everything else has been around for a while.
He's got a point though, equally why not just link directly to the credible source instead of posting a biased source and expecting people separate the bias themselves?
Is this correct? I thought phones basically already supported it and have done since Android 13. Why is a whole new kernel needed for this one feature?
What exactly should we be legislating here? We're talking about an extension to existing technology that you're already familiar with - Bluetooth - to allow a one-to-many relationship instead of one-to-one.
There's already plenty of legislation around incorrect use of radio spectrum, harvesting user data, etc. So what legislation are you referring to that's missing?
Several years ago I got an email about my rockstar account - someone had guessed the password and logged in, they were trying to change the email address. Luckily I'd managed to stop it in time and recovered the account.
Several years later, I decided to give GTA Online a go, I logged in and found I had billions in cash and loads of property and cars. I guess that they must have been nodding while using my account.
That series of events really really sucks and I'm sorry that it all went wrong for you at the worst possible time.
I understand your wife could have been more understanding about the situation and put herself in your shoes to empathise more, but maybe it would be worth trying to see her perspective as well. It's not too late to make up and start 2024 on the right foot (no pun intended), with a little humility on both sides.
Supposed to yes, but when I last checked (which was a few months ago, admittedly), it would crap out if you tried to transcode more than a couple of streams at a time. Which given that an intel CPU with quicksync can easily do 20+ 1080p streams, was a bit of a let down.
Have people actually used them for transcoding in anger yet? I was very interested in buying one for transcoding on a Plex or jellyfin server but last I checked, there were still lots of driver limitations
My favourite thing about this whole story is the way conservatives are trying to spin it as a democratic ploy lol
