Keep the government out of my business but force other businesses to sell me parts. Right to repair is good, but he's only invested in it because it affected his repair business.

Louis Rossman thinks that teachers being in a union is a direct reason why he got bullied in school, and that if he’d been at something like a charter where the teachers don’t have job security he would’ve had a better time. As somebody who taught at a charter many moons ago I don’t have the time or the thumb typing strength to enumerate all of the layers of how wrong he is, but it strikes me that he has a very instrumental view of people. He treats compassion and interpersonal awareness in an educator as a competence issue that could somehow be solved through the free market

Sorta off topic but since we are kinda in laserdisc/DVD chat: How good were/are Superbit remastered DVDs vs normal DVDs?

He comes across as a guy who knows he is an rear end in a top hat and tries to direct it in a positive direction, with limited success. Small business owner brain is definitely on point though

Like a dude wearing a Female Body Inspector t-shirt to his high school reunion

I had a Denon DVD player (DVD-1930) with an HDMI port and one of those magical Faroudja chips in that I bought for £40 off eBay, and it worked magic on DVDs of The Wire. Of course nothing will beat a proper re-scan of the 35mm source, tidying up scratches and putting it out on Blu-ray.

LTT actually did a reasonably scientific test of whether high refresh rate makes a difference and they found that it does, but returns dimish after 144 Hz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX31kZbAXsA

I absolutely believe that there is a diminishing return on FPS. You can definitely tell the difference between 30 and 60 FPS. 60 and 90 do look a bit different. 90 and 120? Maybe? 120 and 150? Probably pretty hard to tell And so on

Lots of people believe they can’t tell a difference past 30fps and lots of people have the sensory experience of a vegetable. Actual research on fighter pilots puts the max distinguishable frame rate at something like 200 FPS+ but video games complicate this because they tie control responsiveness to frame rate so you can perceive differences in hand eye coordination. I’m not going to watch the LTT video to see how much rigor they put into setting up an experiment but you could do worse than getting an office full of 30-year-old dudes together and having them hit a buzzer when they think a video’s frame rate has changed.

I can definitely tell a difference between 120 and 144, and 144 and 240. I limit my games to 200 though, I don't play twitch shooters anymore

By LTT standards, and I think by Youtube standards in general, it's very scientific, though it has an admittedly small sample size.

I would like to register my dissatisfaction with the tech channels falling back to graphics settings guides and my recommended videos being full of CYBERPUNK OPTIMAL GRAPHICS SETTINGS videos right now. Some of that is probably me being too old to want to gently caress about min-maxing graphics settings instead of just dropping to a lower preset if I'm not getting what I want.

Here's the most useful study I can actually find on the matter of high refresh rates: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep07861 It certainly isn't a great study (10 subjects only) but from what I can understand of it: Humans can detect a light flicker up to 500hz under absolutely perfect conditions, (singular large blocks that flicker back and forth.) Like maybe the only useful gaming application of a 500hz monitor would be pong. But perhaps most interestingly, is the fact that if you don't have crisp edges that sensitivity goes down. So it's very possible that a 500hz 1080p monitor is actually worse than a 1440p 360hz monitor because you lose the ability to distinguish the change/speed the muddier the image is.

In the video, he says it's like looking through a window instead of at a screen. It's a decent hypothesis that there's some fps threshold far beyond the 120/144hz rates where suddenly your brain is tricked into thinking it's real life. But that needs to be backed up with something more rigorous than just some bloke's impressions of the product. And if he does say how he got the thing and what his sponsorship for the review is, I missed that. Basically, I'm interested in the concept, but this video doesn't come close to making the case for me.

Personally I definitely notice the difference between 60 and 120 but beyond that

I think it's because everyone would want to use RT, but not everyone can. It's not as simple as "drop it to Medium" like it is for any other game because even Ultra rasterized can be a different graphical experience from RT with compromises.

The new Linus video is about Wendell's KVMs. There's a strange amount of Wendell talking to the camera and promoting himself and talking himself up. It looks like a good product but it's a very strange thing to put in your video. Maybe it's a big thank you for standing by LTT.
