This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You keep trying to claim that quality difference is subjective.

i'm claiming that it's both objective, and subjective and that in this case, for me, it's primarily subjective, rather than objective, based on my usage.

You said this

you asked me where the percentages came from, i explained it.

There is no difference in the UI. It isn’t obfuscation but presenting a complex task as simple to the user.

or what you could quite literally argue is, the definition of obfuscation, though in this case i probably meant abstraction. They're basically the same tbh.

Stop with the chatGPT crap. I was writing a VxD driver for Windows 3.1 32 years ago.

it's not chatgpt, also good to know you wrote insert device drivers for windows.

When typing your reply, what did you have to do to control your multiple CPU’s so that you could type and post your reply. Did you have to set the affinity of the browser process to a particular core? Did you manually schedule the threads? No? I thought so.

no, but my system did, having a cursory understanding of this stuff and how it works allows you to better utilize your hardware.

Show me a website

cpubenchmark and basically every other synthetic benchmark tool out there. cpus are a bundle of transistors, it's not hard to bench them (though it's not that simple either) phone cameras are a little more involved. You can't really just go "bigger number more better"

So that’s your claim? An iPhone 5’s camera is as good as any camera unless someone has done a review with a direct comparison?

i literally have like two paragraphs explaining my thoughts. Not sure why you even put that in there.

Adding the camera to the phone made it possible to not have to buy and carry a separate device to do what everyone had been doing for over 100 years.

amusingly, not my claim at all, the first phone that released, which really did numbers, had a camera on it. Every phone since then has had a camera. Although i should probably mention contextually here, that i am SPECIFICALLY referring to touch screen phones, the modern ones, which really invented the whole philosophy of modern phone culture, the thing that i was specifically referring to in my previous comment. Since we already established that lack of context is bad and what not.

You use a desktop computer and do video editing! It’s the phone camera users who are traditional.

cool, still not a normie though. Unfortunately.
