Yes, we are clearly using so much fidelity that 4k is needed.... and 3d TVs are going to come on back. I am not saying you can not tell the difference, I am saying people want smooth frame rates over pixels and that 4k monitors are not worth it. That all the bullshit sold to users is just that. But hey thanks for bringing up my mother, who does not have curves (unless ash is curvy?).

Because people keep paying them.

Ok mr manager. Do you also call IT when your monitor is turned off to tell them your CPU is broken?

What are you on about, just tell me why anyone who likes money should buy a 4k or more monitor? So I can fiddle with my desktop settings? Is this a arch thing?

What is your point? Why would someone pay for a 4k monitor? Its a waste of money, that is the point I made. How does showing me that even after 10+ years of 4k or higher monitors being for sale that 30% of users have them (well Linux users at least)? That is not showing what you think it is.

People watch crap quality streaming and old reruns while somehow thinking they need more Ks. Its sad and a bit funny.

Oh IBM is way more broken then that. But by making the fonts bigger so you can read them on a 4k monitor is not the augment you think it is for 4k...

But hey as long as everyone buys monitors for roughly 3x the price then its all good then, right? I think you are even losing the plot here on WHY people should buy 4K or higher monitors. There are fringe cases, of course, but the vast majority of time its just a fool and their money soon to be parted.

I have 2 collage diplomas and worked 10 years in the industry at IBM alone. Your not going to cow me or tell me I have no credentials, those accusations mean nothing. I don't really get why you are so very aggressively pushing this nonsense, do you just love tech slop so much? Are you getting a kickback with every 4k monitor sold? Why of all the hills to die on it is this?

And no, 4k desktops do not "look nicer", it is stupid and tiny for no reason. Unless you have like 250 shortcuts on your desktop what is the point?

I have at one point of time made my living in hardware, I would not advise running in 4k or higher without good reason. You being able to run at 4k does not in anyway change the terrible value proposition of losing frames and latency for fidelity. I would not recommend anyone not wanting to go absolutely silly to run a 4 or 8k monitor. Run an multiscreen setup at lower resolution like a normal person. Don't make your own preferences or sunk costs your position on tech in general.

Ether, 1440p is about the limit I draw before the extra fidelity is not worth the performance hit.

They are a waste of time since the things with enough fidelity to matter run like shit on them without a large investment. Its just a money sink with little reward.

Even though hotdogs by weight are more then ground beef (the people who make the food don't understand food apparently) and make a terrible add. Hamburger helper is not even a good price on its own, its like a $3 sidekick. Boxed mac and cheese can be found for about a $1 (sometimes) and can be made with just water and margarine (its not good but most of us have had to at some point). If you want to add hotdogs to a box of stuff its going to be the mac&cheese, not the helper. To make a box of helper in my area you are looking at $10 at best ($3 for the box, $5 for the meat and $2 for the milk), and it feeds maybe two people.

This is the let them eat cake moment, but much stupider. Beans and rice have almost doubled in price in the last few years here, that is an indicator of a crisis. This is not any way even a band aid, hamburger helper is just an easy meal for busy people who still want something hot, not in anyway cheap.

Oh look at fancy pants over here! We would be lucky to afford monkey wieners.

You joke, but....

I have tried to buy the giant cans of tuna before, as a single individual it is a terrible idea. Tuna freezes like shit, and when its bad its both ends bad. I used to eat quite a bit of the crappy cans of tuna when they where under a $1 per. But last time I was in the store the off brand "cheap" tuna was $2.25 (same price as the canned chicken oddly).

I just point out that beef (at least in this part of Canada) is cheaper then tuna per 100g. These "saving" recipes are often out of touch and out of date.

Rat lines as a national product is wild.

I guess that and nice weather, otherwise I am sure some other places would see more of it.

Now the next step is going to sound wild, but they need to kill off all the songbirds.

That would at least make some sense, what with all the money sent lately. Weird that Argentina is so popular with fascists as a place to run to.

The bad tuna is out of reach due to price, Beef is about $5 a pound here (the amount needed for a box of helper) and even the bad tuna is almost $2 a can now. You need about 3 cans to make the amount needed so even the quasi cat food is more then beef.

I am more of a fallout style large crater sort of bet myself.
