I'm using Blender. It's saved me, I don't know how many, thousands of pounds going round the design consultation loop with an architect because by the time we handed them the brief we had already honed it down to what we wanted and they just made some regulatory adjustments before going straight on to planning.

1k Hz would be beneficial in literally every use case but modern 3d games.

Reply to comment by TheTanelornian in Google adverts direct pregnant women to services run by UK anti-abortion groups by Lakerlion
Your argumen would make the old yellow pages a nightmare because it would hold the yellow pages company responsible for vetting every single company that chooses to advertise with it. And continue to monitor and check that every single company is doing exactly what they say they are doing. Now you have to magnify that on a global scale. At what point is there not some responsibility on the user in your model?

You're implying it pretty strongly though, no?

DJI, Lenovo, OnePlus, Xiaomi. There's a reason why Huawei equipment were everywhere before getting ban.

Reply to comment by Prestigious_Push_947 in Signal CEO: We “1,000% won’t participate” in UK law to weaken encryption by ActivePersona
Yes I know. I was just stating "just" encryption in transit isn't E2EE (I.e. https).
E2ee is encrypted from end to end. From when it is written and saved on the source to when it is received and read on the destination. Anything except you that can read messages before you do, without your permission, and potentially send it off somewhere breaks E2EE, which is what they are proposing.
> It does not provide other types of encryption (i.e. encryption at rest) for your messages.
Going to need a source on that, no encryption at rest. Nothing I can find suggests that. I have found some claim it can be broken with physical device access but if the device itself is encrypted then it doesn't matter.

Ever seen a fast pan on 30fps? You’ll see stuttering. The human eye can easily see difference above 60fps

You don’t need 1000hz content to leverage 1000hz. It’s much easier on the eyes.
Even if the content is only 60fps, it will be so much smoother.

Movies are shot at 24fps and are noticeably stuttery during action and fast pans. The “feel” of 24fps is so intertwined with what audiences expect a movie to look like that high frame rate films like The Hobbit look wrong to most people.

They apparently released a 1000V-capable revision of it back in late November that I wasn't aware of; but the previous connector can indeed only handle 500V.

It’s weak and only goes so far as the company is going to fall off a cliff. And that’s going to leave owners in a bad place.

Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Isabel Woodford:
>A Colombian court this month hosted its first legal trial in the metaverse, and now hopes to experiment again with virtual reality, authorities told Reuters.
>At the two-hour hearing held by Colombia's Magdalena Administrative court, participants in a traffic dispute appeared as avatars in a virtual courtroom.
>Magistrate Maria Quinones Triana's avatar dressed in black legal robes.
>The country is among the earliest worldwide to test real legal hearings in the metaverse, immersive virtual reality to make digital spaces feel more lifelike, often with avatars representing each participant.
>The case - brought by a regional transport union against the police - will now proceed partly in the metaverse, potentially including the verdict, Quiones said. She did not rule out metaverse hearings elsewhere.
>"This is an academic experiment to show that there it's possible... but where everyone consents to it, (my court) can continue to do things in the metaverse," she added.

what about bandwidth requirements, texture resolutions and the size requirements to power/leverage all that? AAA development times are already between 6-10 years for fundamental new projects that move the technical verge and aren't iterating on established franchises and tech (simply because quality standards are so top of the line) the kind of hyper-realism that is enabled with that display tech if it ever hits will probably take generations to be fully exhausted/leveraged.

10k Hz refresh rate is not the same as 10k fps. Analog movies were shot at 32 fps… and no one complained about “smoothness”.
So anything above 32 is mostly to fool our brain for some “beneficial” purpose.

And don’t forget that it is not like we can not use this land for some other purpose at the same time. With summers getting hotter and hotter shade under solar panels is actually good thing for farming.
