It's good the core language now has to have a reason before it deletes shit. Speaking of, when do they add full garbage collection and call it c+++?

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.

What about a mini-fridge that's made to look look like an old CRT tv. It could even have a real LCD screen with a filter on it for maximum deniability!

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?
