Was wondering when someone would finally do it. Rollable phones next, please?

Ever since the first foldable screens were announced in the 2010s, I’ve had this idea for a cylindrical tube-shaped phone. Tube contains the battery, cameras, buttons, and ports. Pull on a tab and the screen rolls out. Pull a little more, and now the screen is tablet-sized. Like unraveling a roll of film. I could see this design replacing foldables.

The only part I haven’t figured out yet is how to make the screen rigid enough for use. Maybe using some sort of chain-link latching system?

My bad; you implied that you were just visiting with your last comment.

Why would you ever visit that shithole of a country?

No; I’m happy with my 65" 4K 144Hz HDR OLED with an HDMI port. Won’t be replacing it until I can buy a 1000Hz panel and finally be done with motion blur for good.

Tell me where I can buy a 65-80" 4K 144Hz HDR OLED with a DP port for under $2K, and I’ll gladly ditch HDMI for good.

Allow me to introduce you to Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid.

Yeah but there will always be freaks like me who need to sit less than 2m away from a massive 75" screen so that they can browse the desktop at 4K without increasing display scaling beyond 100%.

Needless to say, I could benefit from 8K.

The point I’m making is that we will still have to deal with motion blur at 240 and 480Hz, so I might as well save some money and hang onto my 4K120 OLED until we reach 1000Hz.

Let me know when we have cables that can hit 1000Hz at 8K, so I can finally own a blur-free OLED. Until then, I’m perfectly content with 4K120.

So basically only the worst states in the country have this law. Color me surprised.

No but I use a 3rd party DNS, which might have something to do with it, now that you mention it.

Speaking of which, can anyone please tell me why XHamster now requires a Virgina ID to visit the website, even though I live nowhere near that shithole?

1. Why does it have to be a Virginia ID specifically?
2. How the hell am I going to get a Virginia ID from out of state?
3. Why would anyone give a porn site their ID to begin with? That’s a major invasion of privacy.

Imagine actually calling Twitter “X”.

Same but I hate cleaning the tank. So messy and smelly.

I sure don’t.

2003. Went from 56K to 3Mbps cable. It was mind-blowingly fast at the time.

But then in 2004 my parents had to go back to dialup for awhile to save money, which was brutal. Especially since I would video chat with my GF often and download all sorts of stuff from KaZaA. Have you ever tried to do a video call on dialup? 0.1-0.5 FPS and compressed so badly that it’s hard to make out even basic facial features. It’s a miracle that it worked at all.

I got lucky and scored a 4090 at a discount on launch day. I think I’ll just hang onto it for a few more generations. It still has plenty of power to run everything at 4K 120Hz especially with DLSS Balanced, (except Indiana Jones; that game is extremely demanding), which I use anyway cause IMO it looks better than AA.

No problem; it’s a common English mistake, even for native speakers.

You meant “wary”. Weary means tired. Wary means suspicious.

No I’m 100% serious. I’m allowed to have an unpopular opinion, you know.
