Cheap laptops, maybe. I had a Dell 15" that did 1920x1200 in 2004. (And gawd that was an amazing computer)

Personally it's still too much of a hassle dealing with HiDPI on Windows, especially if you mix with regular DPI displays. They also seem like overkill. I don't know about you but 1440p at 27" is the perfect DPI for me

Feat of engineering, sure. But the look is "mid oughties white plastic" which is about as dated and vintage as the off-white 80s plastic enclosure of the Apple IIe was at that time And oh god were the laptops ugly. They looked lik

Even more pithily: Ansel Adams did his best work on equipment far less capable than a D3100. The point is...?

Idunno dude, ISO 3200 is nearly unusable on the D3100 for anything you want a large picture of, the noise was just too much for me, especially so when I didn't want to shoot fully stopped up. The noise has a look of its own and it comp

I still have that older equipment. (In fact, I even bought the updated model, and gave the original to a friend. She knows full well the kinds of pictures that setup has taken and it motivates her to improve) It's lighter, it's wh

Honestly it's just a different media. There's no need to think too hard about it. Might as well compare oil pastel to charcoal Personally I think almost all of the output of phone cameras (except what's in their glossy ads) i

Cost disease. Other countries have been completing public works projects of similar-or-larger scope for dramatically less than it costs here. How can anyone rationally accept $175 MILLION (pinky finger) for bridge planning? There are two ma

And how exactly is Google prohibited from censoring? By definition? They're a private company. They can do whatever they want within the limits of the law. And the law doesn't say anything about not publishing something. Which can

No, rampant transactionalization/financialization is the cancer. Rent-seeking leeches trying to extract money out of previously neutral activity, growing unchecked. The very definition of cancer.

I get that, but if GGP is not from the US then it is incredibly rude to come into the country with that kind of attitude. And if they are from the US, then it makes them look even worse.
