A few weeks/months after release, 3rd parties are going to come out with a bazillion different thermal solutions, including self contained liquid cooling, like they always do. So that's a minor issue. Just don't buy the refer

> since 5k doubles 2560x1440 exactly Does that really matter? Integer scaling isn't really a thing AFAIK, and game devs are more likely to test their HUD layouts in 4k than 5k these days.

That's fine. Its really hard to get good frame rate in 4k today. A lot of that isn't just the GPU (eg: poorly optimized games, CPU, I/O, etc), but if it can do 8k 60fps reasonably consistantly on paper, then it can do 4k@60fp

First, not really: moving means leaving your job (unless you can do it remote), and incurs significant monetary expenses. If you have a family it's even worse, switching school, etc. Even if you do get to pick where you live, we live i

I don't have kids so I'll have to take your word for it, but I would assume doing the daily routine and getting kids ready for school, when it starts at 8am, probably doesn't give you much choice. So 7am would feel pretty nor

My understanding with weed is that it reduces the amount of REM sleep you get. You may come up ahead over all with this tradeoff, but not ahead of someone who sleeps "normally".

Some do, and they can work those jobs because their biology allows it. A big chunk of it are just in constant state of sleep deprivation though and are miserable. That will catch up to them eventually.

Yes, it's just luck, unless your lifestyle choice was to pitch a tent away from civilization. You're lucky the city didn't permit a 5 years construction project next to your house. You're lucky your neighbors aren't

This is where it's all about "dumb luck". Unless you live in the middle nowhere with no neighbors for miles around, it's all about pure luck. I've stayed in midtown Manhattan for long stretches with little to no iss

I complain construction starts at 7 because quiet hours start at 11 (and in practice no one enforces them that early). Let's forget circadian rhythm for a sec and my issue isn't how early or late it is. My issue is that its a stri

If that was true, it would be different in winter, but it isn't (at least for big projects). I've had a lot of renovation projects done, and all the trade folks I dealt with just like having most of their afternoon free, by starti

As another commenter pointed out, people don't really pick their circadian rhythms. With that said, even if we forget about that, what's early is defined by what we consider late. If you have a teenager who needs 9+ hours of sleep

Only in extreme circumstances. If they start 30 minutes early, enforcement will just tell you it's no big deal. But you lost a significant part of your sleep time. And there's the whole deal about police brutality in the US making

Neighbors and city noise ordinance dictates when you can go to bed. Neighbors, city noise ordinance, work and school hours dictate when you have to wake up.

Absolutely, though the gap is somewhat niche. Even for e-readers, the amount of people who still care about e-ink is getting smaller. In my peer group everyone moved to ipads or whatever (I don't know how they can stand it, but...).

Can you create a netflix account within the app on iOS? I thought they specifically had an exception for "reader apps" (and Netflix somehow fell in that category). I don't use netflix to check.

Fair point. To be candid, every time I've discussed this, Apple fans quickly jump on the "but what about Google!!!" train, and it distracts from the original point, so I just got used to putting them together, because it&#x27

Yeah, the cut is basically irrelevant. It's the power Apple/Google holds that's a problem.
