I've seen some people say that since HDMI 2.2 recently released the HDMI forum doesn't care as much about "protecting" 2.1 anymore. If FOSS drivers support HDMI 2.2 when devices start shipping with HDMI 2.2 ports then th

Firefox started shipping adblock-rust in March (Brave's built in adblocker). It's not properly wired up in the UI yet but you can enable it and add filter lists in about:config.

Straight piped trucks can easily hit over 100dB (I've seen numbers as high as 118dB) which is well above the 85dB hearing damage level, and is at the level where hearing damage occurs in minutes or even seconds of exposure. Sorry I don

360hz screens have been available for about 6 years now and you can get one for $200-300 now. ~500hz monitors have been widely available for ~3 years now, and in the last year we've had companies launching monitors with 720hz and soon

Part of that might be if you're using them wireless because then you're double compressing the audio which amplifies the artifacts (mp3 -> Bluetooth compression).

Hell, modern audio codecs (opus and AAC, but not the ffmpeg opus/AAC encoders) are transparent at ~160-192k. MP3 is a legacy codec these days, and generally needs ~30% more bitrate for similar quality.

The amount of memory you can put on a GPU is mainly constrained by the GPU's memory bus width (which is both expensive and power hungry to expand) and the available GDDR chips (generally require 32bits of the bus per chip). We've

To get 128GB of RAM on a GPU you'd need at least a 1024 bit bus. GDDR6x is 16Gbit 32 pins, so you'd need 64 GDDR6x chips, which good luck even trying to fit that around the GPU die since traces need to be the same length, and you

Intel Arc GPUs are terrible for Nanite rendering, since they lack hardware support for both indirect draws (widely used in GPU driven renderers, Intel emulates it in software which is slow) and 64bit atomics, which are required for nanite.
