I’m starting to wonder if the real reason the push for bigger screens caught on wasn’t just because of the basic psychology of “bigger = better” but so they could shove more ads on screen, and now it’s more processing power so those ads won’t lock up the browser for a whole second while loading some bullshit questionnaire like “are you adult, child or gamer on iOS”
EDIT: So many downvotes lol are silicon valley tech bros mad?
i would not put it past them, de-googling saves so much battery. that alone is benefit any tech enjoyer can get behind you would think, privacy is just a cherry.
but more broadly speaking it is amazing how they think they can run all these malicious code on people’s devices because of some ToS EULA NDA X 69 Arbitration bullshit.
But nothing will change until people take their digital sovereignty back, literally only thing stopping the solution for most of this shit is poorly educated and complacent gen pop too busy jerking the feed to generate training data for some depraved AI girlfriend.
16:10 has always been superior to both but I quite like my second 4:3 monitor. Also I was referring to mobile devices obviously (where most internet traffic comes from), and 4:3 isn’t a size measurement.

just take me to the farm already
Ok, new strategy: go back to 4:3.
16:10 has always been superior to both but I quite like my second 4:3 monitor. Also I was referring to mobile devices obviously (where most internet traffic comes from), and 4:3 isn’t a size measurement.
4:3 is objectively better than 16:9 for anything but watching movies.
I love 5:4 though.
