You got 720p,1080p, 4k. More pixels. Doesnt take a fuckin brain genius to figure out if your tv’s picture looks better because of course it does, and you don’t gotta do anything to get it to work. but they realized that past 4k, shit ain’t gonna look much better for the cost. so what do they do? more colors per pixel. only problem is color settings on tvs suck. tv manufactures handle this like dogshit. so now you gotta spend 30 minutes before watching a movie cause your fuckin tv automatically changes the setting from time to time for no fuckin reason. all this just to get slightly more colors. it’s not even that noticeable. i fuckin hate HDR. i fuckin hate tv manufacturers.
the shining’s still a beautiful movie but fuck me did i not notice the HDR one bit.
Yeah a reformation of the recycling industry would need to be done as well for most of this to work.
But there’s a ton of actually good tech that ends up in the pile as well that takes next to nothing to refurbish.
I’m currently operating on a laptop I found in the trash that had a busted screen and a dead fan. 1200 dollar laptop when it was new in 2015, now about 4-600 depending on condition.
Fine otherwise. Super easy to repair.
This was more broken than the last one I found, which I sold, that literally just had some malware on it. Just reinstalled windows and sold that for 250 bucks.
It’s insane lol, and this wasn’t even me going out and looking for the things. They were just equipment I came across while throwing out the trash at the dump.
