Retro computing to me has to benefits:
1. As mentioned by robinsonb5 -- "wise use of resources". I believe developers should test their changes on old hardware to ensure it will be fast.
2. How much I really miss laptop monitor sizes 4:3, 16:10 is a decent 2nd choice. I hate 16:9, which is the most common.
Updated per kazinator post. I got 16:9 and 16:10 mixed up
- peepee1982 2y agoWhat's your beef with 16:10? I prefer it over 16:9 unless I want to watch 16:9 video most of the time.
- kazinator 2y ago16:10 allows for 16:9 video with captions/subtitles and basic video controls off the frame.
- peepee1982 2y agoI was thinking of watching TV shows, where I don't want those things. But you're right, when watching e.g. educational videos, having more room for controls and subs is nice.
- jmclnx 2y agoI got them mixed up. I ment I like 16:10.
- peepee1982 2y agoAh, ok.
- oarsinsync 2y ago> 16:10, which is the most common. I'm so glad we're back at this world. I had a laptop in 2011 that developed a fault on it's 16:10 (1920x1200) screen, Dell ran out of replacement parts and laptops had standardised on 16:9 screens by this point, so they ended up replacing the entire laptop with one with a 16:9 (1920x1080) screen. I wasn't thrilled at the loss of pixels.
- vunderba 2y agoBig fan of more vertical space. The retina aspect ratio on the newer Macbooks is at least a decent compromise being closer to 3:2.
