macroooo blocking! the cable company up here (rogers) got better about that a few years back after the transition to digital and made the sports channels at least a little more watchable

Linguica posted:the irony is that practically no one gets hdtv over the air and yet OTA broadcasts are likely the highest quality video you can get short of bluray broadcast tv in the us is limited to 720p/1080i with 20mbps of mpeg-2 video per physical channel, and physical channels are often subdivided into 4 or more subchannels. usually the major networks look good since they're hd and have decent bandwidth, but the subchannels are typically 480i and the overall quality usually ranges from passable to poo poo. on top of that, the us airwaves are currently in the midst of a repack to free up more spectrum for wireless internet, further shrinking the available tv spectrum that was already reduced during the digital transition, which is resulting in more networks being shoved onto the same channel and having to share bandwidth. in other cases channels are being moved back to low-vhf, which means that you'll need a set of old-style large rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna with large elements to receive them. atsc 3.0 will fix a lot of the problems and is currently being tested in several markets, but that means going through another transition phase and making every tv tuner obsolete not even a decade since the analog shutoff.

at least from a quick cursory glance, the specs for atsc 3.0 look really solid, and include hevc rather than just going with tried and tested h.264. i'm sure someone will find a way to ruin it for the end user, but theoretically it could be really good at least.

steven p. jobs thought that sony had good enough industrial design to license OS X. he would also personally execute the parties responsible for p much the entire current apple product line. ipso facto sonies are the best iphones

some gray thread idiot had a meltdown over front-facing cameras of all loving things believing that since he's an unloved shut-in who never uses it, no one does.Daily Forecast posted:Do ya one better: get the gently caress over yourself. Every time I post anything in this thread and try to stir up any kind of conversation that isn't the latest Google Dick Sucking, you're always here to tell me to 'stop posting', as if I'm supposed to be intimidated. It would bother me more if you weren't such a loving tool.

if we're going to namedrop a meaningless american design personality as the originator of the notched displays it should be andy rubin in actuality we should of course name some engineering team at samsung that came up with the process for making them, to then (most likely) offer them up fait accompli to the likes of essential and apple, but we don't know their names, and it'd *still* be a bit weird a thing to do to celebrate the creation of fairly pointless consumer goods

the only people who don't use front cameras are friendless shut-ins, so it's not surprising that someone in the android thread would be vehemently against them.
