- Comment on 1080p viewing experience 2 weeks ago:
Will it just download a higher resolution video, drop every other pixel, and display the rest?
Yes, just like it can show a 1080p video not in fullscreen :)

- Comment on 1080p viewing experience 2 weeks ago:
I sit quite close to a large 1080p monitor. That’s why I notice when the bitrate is low and the video I am seeing lacks true 1080*720 pixels. Basically it’s compressed so much, that the image is noticeably worse than an image my monitor could display. That’s why when I use a higher pixel count compression, like 1440p, the compression problems don’t show as bad on the screen that will only show 1080p pixels anyways. That’s what I am talking about. On a phone or a laptop screen it will probably be less noticeable. I guess that’s why Youtube does it, it probably saves them a huge amount of bandwidth and people who want really good quality video might already have 4k displays which then get a way higher bitrate video feed anyways.
I guess the 1080p monitor size starts to be a niche. More and more people using it are on smartphones I guess so it really makes sense to have a very low bitrate.

I was just guessing the higher CPU usage. You’re probably right that it doesn’t matter

It’s what being an adult is like. You don’t study for the fanfare, you study for a goal or for yourself.

I don’t think that we have enough information to draw that conclusion. It is a legit horrible experience though. I can’t imagine what it would be like.
- Comment on What gives you hope to keep going? 3 weeks ago:
There is this video that reminds me that there is no natural law that determines that things will only get better. Yet we have to find purpose. I am not hopeful, but I am happy for everyone that tries to do the right thing. We’re in this together even if everything goes to shit.

Oh I totally agree! If this was cloud based, that would be a privacy nightmare
- Comment on Apple Intelligence is for the Stupid Ones 3 weeks ago:
I’m somewhat tickled by the snippets of adverts I’ve seen for both Samsung and Apple’s new phones that mention “AI”. None of what I’ve seen has actually explained why it’s a selling point. Classic cart before the horse stuff.
Yup, AI is a solution looking for a problem

- Comment on My little macgyver meshtastic node ^^ 3 months ago:
I don’t have one. It’s to tinker with my first esp32 board and lora.
It’s basically a hobby. If you live somewhere super rural or something it might be interesting to chat with your neighbor or whatever but I think meshtastic is still too much in the alpha stage to be usable really.
It might be useful on a festival or something, where cell networks are overloaded and you and your friends can contact each other via meshtastic. Idk if that would work though.

Yeah I might upgrade to a 18650 cell that I reclaimed if the phone battery is too small.

Yeah I don’t have one around ^^
Actually though that’s not true, last night I found an old device of me that I could harvest a 18650 battery from.

Assuming that you’re living in the US I think the secret is that disposable vapes aren’t as abundant in Germany yet.
- Comment on Where to find empty vapes? I want to harvest a battery 3 months ago:
Oh that’s a good idea, I think supermarkets also collect batteries in general to recycle, maybe there I can find empty vapes.

Not in Berlin. I see them sometimes, but not often enough. I want one now ^^
