I don't think it would matter that much since a desktop at 3k is very similar on modern hardware to a desktop at 1080.

But I'd be interested in someone who had the hardware to test this. Right now I use my laptop for school work, and in trying to squeeze every ounce of battery life I was running my display at 45hz instead of 60hz. I had a free day during the summer so I charged it up, ran a YouTube video on repeat and timed the battery life, then changed the display frequency and it was like a 2 minute difference. I also tried it while running a second 1080p monitor through hdmi and the difference was something like 10 minutes. Like, so small a difference or didn't matter.

I don't have the data sheet anymore so these numbers are anecdotal etc etc YMMV. The biggest change for me was buying a 65w PD battery bank and keeping that charged in my bag.

The concept that you have coverage for a thing and it gets denied is baffling to me. How are Americans not trading in the streets over the systems your parents built?

If they update the controls I'm in 100%. Soul Reaver 1 controls always grate on me.

His brother was a pretty cool fella as well!

Blog posts and peer reviewed articles are not the same thing.

Yeah, sometimes there's something else outside could have been saying but not here.

Here it's clear as day. And the host says nothing at all, which says a ton about her.

I guess they're not looking to make sales but insurance money?

This made me feel like my brain was leaking out my ears.

Thank you. I was too lazy to find it.

So, at one point there was 14 competing standards. That was too many, so a bunch of nerds got together and made one all encompassing standard. One that had all the best parts of each other standard.

Now we have 15 competing standards.

I've enjoyed my time on fedora. It's recent enough that my hardware works when I upgrade, and stable and supported enough that I haven't had to go out of my way to get something working.

The author gets to the crux near the end. Trump supporters don't come to speeches for policy, they come for performance art. That's what they expect from their leaders, because that's what they're trained to expect.

Between American entertainment trying to blur the lines between fantasy/ reality, and 24 hour news networks making everything a big deal the public at large has atrophied critical thinking skills.
