Because they're lying about the specs of the product you're purchasing.
- pc86 7y agoAre they? Sure, the hardware is capable of x, but if you want to save money by having software limit it to x/2, how is that a lie? And before the "but they didn't tell me!" argument, we may care on HN, but 99% of consumers don't care whether a limit is hardware-enforced or software-enforced, and probably 80% of consumers couldn't tell the difference if they had to.
- dangwu 7y agoIf they advertise ability to record at 1080p and it's possible to push the hardware to 4K, that's not lying. This is not any different than an ISP selling a 10 Mbps plan when gigabit is available.
