SHA-384 can actually be faster than SHA-256 is some cases. The reason is that SHA-256 used 64 rounds with 32 bit words, while SHA-384 uses 80 rounds with 64 bit words. So, each block processed by SHA-384 is twice as big but uses less than t

I don't know who would be better to judge the benefits of eating human flesh than a canibal. It's not reasonable at all to say that you'll accept anecdata from tech Bros seeking attention.

1080p is ok, though? Or is it the fact that you can access too much video? Like, if you could only access every 3rd episode of Cheers, then 4k is ok? I guess we'll have to wait for the scientists to weigh in on this one!

Fair enough, I was wrong there - RSA is still used for some things in TLS 1.3. However, I stand by my point that there are downsides to RSA and that its misleading to say "RSA + TLS is fine" when TLS 1.3 actively reduced its use o

It's still slow and the keys are large. RSA isn't supported by TLS 1.3, so I think a blanket statement that it works with TLS is missing a major caveat.
