"Well maybe they don't want a lower resolution." That's fine. It's also possible they don't want to pay the overage charges even more. It's up to them.

It's more that you shouldn't need to ask "what you doing...no less" Video quality is a choice but it's a pretty obvious thing for people to want, and video easily eats a terabyte. Also your sibling comment says none of your hardware is over 720p? If you have normal-ish eyesight then I feel bad for you, even just considering text clarity.

  "It's more that you shouldn't need to ask "what you doing" Are you really trying to tell someone on HN not to be curious? I am genuinely wondering what cool thing they might be doing with that. "and video easily eats a terabyte." It doesn't for me. We stream quite at bit at 720p, gaming, etc. we don't get even close to that. I mean none of my hardware goes over 1080p, and that my difference between 720p and 1080p is not big. My eyes are slightly better that the standard 20/20. I'm not aure why you say you would feel bad for me as your entire comment is meant to antagonize me.

    > Are you really trying to tell someone on HN not to be curious? I am genuinely wondering what cool thing they might be doing with that. No, I'm not saying not to be curious. I'm saying your wording implied it was excessive for ordinary use, while it's very easy to reach. > I mean none of my hardware goes over 1080p, and that my difference between 720p and 1080p is not big. My eyes are slightly better that the standard 20/20. Okay then. > I'm not aure why you say you would feel bad for me as your entire comment is meant to antagonize me. I would feel bad for you if you were stuck with a 720p screen, and think you very much were missing something. How is that antagonizing? You're reading into things much more than I did. Now that you clarify it's 1080, I'm not sure why you brought that up.

      "Now that you clarify it's 1080, I'm not sure why you brought that up." Because I stream at 720p and not 1080p.
