No one can see the difference between upscale 720p, 1080p, 4K or 8K. If you can, you\u2019re lying. And if you\u2019re not lying, the difference is so minimal that it really doesn\u2019t matter. 4K and 8K are completely foolish because no one\u2019s vision is getting better with time and it puts an insane strain on infrastructure. Stupid.<\/p>\n
You buy wireless earbuds for $160-$200 that you will lose within a year. You can buy professional wired headphones for less than a $100 and use those for decades. You want to save the planet? Get on the winning team, hoe.<\/p>\n
You can fill a 1TB hard drive with music and you still wouldn\u2019t have listened to that album in twenty years. 1TB holds about one thousand albums at very high audio quality (uncompressed). You\u2019ll probably never will go through a thousand albums in your life. And 1TB is dirt cheap. Less than 10TB will be enough for your entire life, for everything.<\/p>\n
No one looks at your 4000*3000+ pixels pictures. We look at 800*600 pixels viewports, probably worse on IG and mobile apps. Phone pictures these days are so processed they don\u2019t even look real at all. It\u2019s a regression.<\/p>\n
Etc.<\/p>\n
It fascinates me that we have arrived at such a plateau with technology. We can\u2019t possibly do much better. We\u2019ve maxed out our physical sensors. We already have all the convenience in the world. Isn\u2019t it awesome?<\/p>\n
Our mission now is to chill. And use that tech to do better, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
