I don't have a strong argument for DPI in gaming, I find DPI to be more noticeable when watching movies/reading text. Going from 60 => 100 fps on the other hand makes fast-paced games feel much more fluid and responsive.

I have the 1060 6GB. It can max out any game on my 1080p 60hz 24" monitor. However, that's table stakes these days. 1440p monitors are gaining ground as people realize the DPI difference between their PC monitor and their smartpho

Religion is at least somewhat of a personal choice. You can't change your ethnicity. It's the difference between hating people for exercising their freedom of religion vs hating people for being born.

I've noticed this too, SCMP and a bunch of other Chinese cloud-hosted websites don't load when I have my VPN turned on. The Great Firewall works both ways these days. I would stay far away from Chinese cloud services unless they&#

Why does such a troubled metro still run 24/7? Most of the best-performing metros in the world (HK, SG, Tokyo) close at midnight.

That's quite a black and white view of things, which may have been true >100 years ago. Today there are wealthy people in the lowest castes and poor people in the highest castes. Money and power takes precedence over caste.

China knows this, which is why Chinese companies set up research centers in Silicon Valley to attract talent. e.g. Andrew Ng when he worked at Baidu.

Nothing wrong with being proud of one's nationality or country. Jackie Chan on the other hand is against free speech, thinks Chinese people can't handle freedom and that they need to be controlled for their own good.
