  • The plot below shows the price of TVs across Best Buy’s Black Friday ads for the last 25 years. The units are “dollars per area-pixel”: price divided by screen area times the number of pixels (normalized so that standard definition = 1).

    Yay! Now do computer ram from 1980 to 2020 before Ai was involved, and discuss size per dollar. You wanna do CPUs or hard drives next?

    Banned. The entire thread was killed and I could only see my comment: no clue as to context.

    Corrective action needs context. That was just fronting. As an ass, I can confirm: that mod also was an ass.
