Asking as someone who doesn’t know anything about any of this:

Does more B mean better?

It’s just that it’s incredibly wasteful/polluting.

Which actually makes it illegal in some countries, too

It can pull weight at 4k, but I’m not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.

There are many games that cut it awfully close with 12GB at 1440p, for some it’s actually not enough. And when Nvidia pushes Raytracing as hard as they do, not giving us the little extra memory we need for that is just a dick move.

Whatever this card costs, 12GB of vram is simply not appropriate.

Ubisofts wet dream, yes

I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

I don’t intend to blame them, I’m just making an observation.

The fact that they don’t know is a problem in itself too, and spreading awareness about cybersecurity and teaching general tech literacy and common sense is not done as much as it should be.

It’s exactly like you say. They don’t know, and how would they? No one is ever giving them the information they need.

Can Disney just ******* ***** ** ***** already

You’re right, most people either don’t care, or don’t even know enough to care in the first place.

And that’s a huge problem. Yes, companies have some responsibility here, but ultimately it’s the user who decides to use the service, and how to use it.

Well damn, federation took its sweet time to show me your reply

Does that mean we can make moon photos that are even further from reality now?

Federation had a hiccup there, I’m only seeing your reply now

Supersampling is definitely something interesting, but up to what point? On a sensor this small, even something like 48 sampled to 12 already suffers to a degree where I would stop calling it useful.

Don’t get me wrong here, I can see the use first hand on my own phone. My second lens for night mode does 20MP to 5, and while the image is brighter than the main lens, it’s just as grainy, and a much lower output resolution too.

Now granted, my phone is a few years old now, and modern devices surely have better sensors, but no amount of trickery will make up for those physical limitations.

If it were an actual zoom, at least. I was absolutely delighted when I first learned that some phones do in fact have lenses with a variable focal lenght.

Having that 2x zoom through actual optics instead of it being a cropped image is fantastic, gotta say. I really want my next phone to have that, so that zooming is actually useful.

pixel binning as a ‘solution’ to a problem which needn’t even exist in the first place.

Well, I fully agree with this article. There is one other good use of binning/supersampling though, and that is better chroma resolution relative to luma.

But even that won’t do much, with all the other shortcomings already present.

It is, and I hate it so much. Like, even a full frame sensor would need some proper ISO magic at 200MP

I really don’t get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won’t just disappear.

I sure do

never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

Combatting symptoms is nice and all, but ideally you’d want to remove the reason these symptoms exist in the first place.

And if even Meta agrees to do it, there’s no excuse left, is there

I didn’t know that, this is super cool!
