And piracy gets them from Bluray.
Now that that’s dying I’m afraid we’re gonna be stuck with streaming bitrates.


There’s barely any actual 4K content you can consume
I feel like that’s not true. But you’ve gotta try. If you’re streaming it, chances are it’s not really any better. 4K Bluray (or rips of them…) though? Yeah it’s good. And since film actually has 8K+ resolution old movies can be rescanned into high resolution if the original film exists.
Supposedly Sony Pictures Core is one streaming service that can push nearly 4K Bluray bitrates… but you’ve gotta have really good internet. Like pulling 50-80GB in the span of a movie runtime.


I feel like on monitors because you’re fairly close getting at least 2k is good. Depending on size even 4k makes sense.
Small text on large 1080p monitors looks… Not great.
For gaming though absolutely


Nah. On larger screens it’s good to have


Yeah. A 1080p Bluray clocks in around 20GB. A 4K bluray is 60-80GB.
If you’re downloading something smaller it’s probably lower quality


-emia, meaning presence in blood.


Funnily enough piefed.social does not seem to block .ml
Usually once whenever I’m on it I’ll pull up a terminal and type “yay”
I took a look at your instance
It’s just you isn’t it.
Hi, admin of thelemmy.club here -
I’ve spoken with the other Lemmy admins in our group chat and we have decided to take this down. We made it very clear that this requirement should not be discussed. As a one time warning we will not ban you, but we will expect three photos this week.
Thank you,
- All Lemmy admins.


That shit was beautiful. He’s fucking mad.


He does more old tech stuff or explains how appliances work. Not really computers. 10/10 channel but I get that the content isn’t super captivating for everyone.


Oh fuck they broke Alec shit’s bad


Huh? I wasn’t trying to stalk you, you said you had run into them so I took a peek.


I mean, here’s a Hexbear thread about him winning.

They’re skeptical that he’ll stay principled but nobody there is saying he’s the next coming of Hitler.


I’d love to see the link. You’ve got over 1k comments in 30 days or I’d look for it on your profile.


Thanks for the links to the posts/comments backing up your statement. Really made me think.
I mean that’s vague.
I’d say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.
