[…] more than 60 Hz. Most phones on the market don't even support it.
Just checked. Most phones within the 400€ - 800€ price range support more than 60Hz.
Of 591 devices, only 176 feature a 'unknown' or <90Hz refresh rate. 415 support >=90Hz, 382 support >=120Hz and 48 models go to >=144Hz. It has become a fairly common feature.
it even has a tutor
Yes, people are just lazy. I remember when I invented a new login screen and was told it was "difficult", "confusing" and "took some getting used to".
It even came with a free 100-page manual and a 4-hour master class. Some people, I tell you!
^This is meant more as a joke than an actual critique, even if it kind of reflects my thoughts. But ultimatly, I thought it was a funny bit.^
The initial comment resonated so much with me, that I feel the need to answer, even though I wasn't even asked: YES
A few years ago I was in a really dark place. I lost 3 kg in 2 months and when I wasn't at work, I was lying in my bed on the verge of crying, half-listening to YouTube just to scare the thoughts away.
But the thing, that finally got me out of the loop, was getting myself a houseplant, after watching a plant YouTuber for a while. And when I got home, rather than cry, I obsessively cleaned every speck of dust off the leaves, measured the soil moisture with a stick and just watched it be. And something just clicked inside me and I realized that I had found something I wanted to do; probably forever, if given the chance.
Still have the same plant; cut, repotted and propagated. And while I'm at a much better place now - physically, mentally, financially - just thinking about giving that (houseplants) up feels like going back.
I don't see data backing up your claim […]
Links a list where the three top spots substantiate the claim, followed by a comparatively large 8% drop.
To add a bit of nuance: There are definitely exceptions to the claim. But if I had to make a blanket statement, it would absolutely be in favor of AMD.
This is the reason why I leave the shower running in every hotel I visit. And at the buffet, I tell the waiter to fetch me a trash can so I can actually get rid of the whole thing. If I can, I usually leave both a heater and an air conditioner running in the hallway.
Edit: Wow. I had completely forgotten about this comment. I really didn't think anyone would take it seriously. I work with networks. I know we're not literally going to run out of internet. But everyone treats bandwidth as this freely available resource. Advertisers, consumers, creatives and Jürgen. Fuck you, Jürgen. We both know that downloading 6 fucking MB every time someone wants to queue up the database is fucking insane, as is your reliance on client-side bullshit.
Anyway, whenever a anything loads slowly, think about why. Bandwith is not free. It's a maintained resource.
