Honestly you will. You probably never compared the two side by side.

It's incredibly apparent, you think it's smooth but then when you go over to 120 Hz and then go back the difference is very apparent.

I have an fairly high end TV and honestly I don't know what the point is because there is virtually no content that's available for it.

Pretty much none of the streaming services go beyond 4K and often they're at 1080p and I have to upscale to 4K. Consoles also don't go above that 4k and again often in fact don't even hit that.

I find the whole AI debate to be very confusing.

Does what we see which is that AI is next to useless. Then there's what we get told by Nobel prize winning scientists which is that AI is going to kill us all. Personally I doubt it, but we can always hold out hope.

I don't know who you're calling an idiot back in the early 2000s I had a phone that died because it got rained on. Not even a lot of rain.

Waterproofing is necessary just generally. Even if you assume it's never going to get dropped in a puddle it needs to be splash proof at least.

Yeah. He's kind of a bell end. I'm not sure if the world has noticed yet. Perhaps he should give another rousing speech at the world economic forum, I was so inspired by the 30 sending long pauses.

It's the same in the UK. There is national healthcare which is what most people go with because it's free (and most people underestimate how infuriating it is sitting in a waiting room for 6 hours) and then there's private healthcare which is what you go with if you want expediency.

A lot of the time if you go with private you end up being tended to by the same medical staff anyway, you're basically just paying to skip the queue.

The reason his healthcare plan is ridiculous is because he hasn't put any effort into it. Which for Trump is saying something.

Frankly I hate him more than the censoring.

I don't even know who the centering is even for, since we all know what it says.

I can hear this picture.

I've said this before but if Apple really cared about their users then the iPad Pro would essentially just be a touchscreen laptop. It has the hardware to run a full-on operating system, but they keep it locked to iOS so they can sell you apps via the lockdown ecosystem.

It's been a while since I used Mac OS but I remember it was quite janky even around 2020.

And of course the whole liquid glass thing is just bonkersly stupid. Vista did it years ago and it was terrible back then because it just made the UI hard to see. I'm not interested in how clever it is.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
