People have been saying it's unwatchable for years and I can barely see the difference

Some people (like me) are lazy and don't wlreally want to do it if it takes more than 5 minutes. I doubt I could even download a VPN program in that time lmao

Every previous election for a long time wapo has endorsed a candidate. The only reason they aren't is because of the second richest man in the world told them not to.

Whatever it is that checks for tpm obviously needs tpm, or it wouldn't need a work around

If w11 changes something that relies on tpm, and you don't have tpm, surely you can see how that could cause a significant issue?

My old phone screen was fine, I just hate bright lights and OLED gets way darker.

My new phone doesn't have waterfall edges, presuming that's a curved edge thing. Flat display on all sides, no side bullshit.

Another benefit of OLED, at least in my case (nothing phone 2a) is there's no polarisation layer so I can wear my sunnies and look at my phone on any angle I please, instead of rotating it making the screen vanish. Laptop still does that and it's super annoying, if I'm outside watching videos on it I just can't use sunglasses.

Every single car company does that

As someone who has a good windows laptop at home, windows at work is actual garbage. We had a month where you just couldn't use the search function, because the act of typing in the search bar caused enough problems it would close the search bar.

Odds are your home computer is somewhat competent and your work one is a steaming pile of trash not fit for purpose.

When I replaced my 5 year old phone the only two benefits I saw was OLED screen (never going without again) and the battery life going from maybe a day to like 40 hours

I don't think consoles can play all games at 4k60fps yet right? Especially on a TV, 4k is a noticable difference. Maybe even go for 4k120? Seems like there still needs to be a bit more improvement. Not sure if 8k is worth it, need to find someone who knows more than i do for that.

Either way I'm blind if there's a big fucker next to me at the start, and it's about 1/5th of the car moved to see either way. I guess that's car dependant though, it's only my direct rear visibility that sucks and sideways back is fine but I've definitely been in cars where trying to see what's next to you and a bit back is hard.

Australian, I actually took a photo to show my point today. Technically didn't reverse back because it's back to back parks and you can drive through the first to be in the second, but same end result. My hood is 0.82% of the washington monument, presuming the information i found was correct (1400mm hood, 169m monument).

Sorry about it being a discord link, that's just the most convenient thing for me right now as apparently I can't just upload the image to the comment. Or I just don't know how, either way. Can't see shit to my left, I just happened to know there wasn't anyone coming from when I got in the car, but if I didn't it would be a massive pain in the arse despite leaving the park forwards.
