France is a lie schemed up by the British monarchy in the 1400s to reinforce traditional power structures via a common enemy.

I was thinking between 7600 XT and 7700 XT or 4060 and 4060 TI.

GPU alone would cost more than the console, if you’re building a pc.

There's not many models that expensive. A comparable GPU to the PS5 Pro's is around half the cost

Something being "old" is totally unrelated to whether it's trendy. See: virtually every food and fashion trend.

I wish my new water bottle contained an infinite supply of ice cold drinking water. in c/monkeyspaw@sopuli.xyz

Granted, you have a nice full water bottle. As you open it, it starts spurting water that freezes as soon as it reaches rest. The shock of ice on your skin causes you to drop the bottle. Quickly the bottle is covered in a layer of ice except for where new water keeps jetting out. Before you know it your home is encased entirely in ice. A few weeks later it's your whole town.

They follow you everywhere and will mysteriously appear whenever you're sure you've shaken them. If they die while in your care then you turn into that animal.

The hen's poop contains all the normal pathogens and smells, it also enjoys shoulder rides and isn't afraid to peck you. The snake will eat things it cannot digest if you don't stop it and will occasionally try to eat things it cannot even swallow.

The hen enjoys talking about cocks while the snake is vocal about its rather questionable political views.

What's the reason for high refresh rates? (lemmy.keychat.org)

I was reading an article on the new LG display with a refresh rate of 7680Hz and it says:

While a typical refresh rate for a monitor might be 60Hz-240Hz, an outdoor display designed to be viewed from a distance needs to be much higher

The idea that there's an intrinsic link between refresh rate and viewing distance is new to me and feels unintuitive. I can understand the need for high brighteness for far view distance. I also could understand refresh rate mattering for a non-persistent (CRT) display. But for an Led display surely you can see it far away even if it refreshes once a second?

Refresh rate normally needs to be high enough to avoid pixels "jumping" between refreshes on high resolution displays, so wouldn't higher view distances allow you to decrease the refresh rate?

Is the article just spouting bullshit? Or is there an actual link between refresh rate and view distance?
