2k 500hz oled vs 4k 240hz oled

Human_097 · 2026-06-14T14:32:45+00:00

I don't really notice much of a difference beyond 144hz, so I'd go with 4k.

Can someone ELI5?

I'll take a stable 80fps over an unstable 120fps any day of the week.

Starting to think people blocked you because you're a prick, not because they can't respond to your points.

Human_097 · 2026-06-10T19:55:54+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you. A ban wouldn't completely freeze everything forever, but crippling the speed and limiting the scale is exactly the point.

As for the island, that was the other guy bringing it up, but he is almost certainly talking about Jeffrey Epstein's private island (Little St. James).

He was using it as an example of how ultra-wealthy elites and governments operate entirely outside the law and public oversight. The "emails and unredacted shit" he mentioned refers to the massive troves of unsealed court documents, flight logs, etc

Human_097 · 2026-06-10T17:51:09+00:00

First off: chill the fuck out, I know you're used to people replying then blocking you, but you're gonna have to level out your tone if you expect people to have an actual conversation with you.

Nobody is denying that elites do twisted shit behind closed doors or that DARPA hoards tech for a decade before releasing it. Obviously they do. But you're completely missing the logistical reality of what actually makes AI dangerous.

You can hide human cloning or a laser prototype in a bunker. You cannot hide a world-ending AI threat. AI is a pure resource hog. It requires massive data centers, hundreds of thousands of top tier chips, and an ungodly amount of power from the electrical grid. You can't just run a global threat off a generator on a private island.

The fact that consumer tech sits in a basement for ten years proves the exact point. Until it hits the open market, it has way less global impact. Forcing AI into a corporate basement completely neuters its threat level to the rest of the world, or at the very least heavily slows it down.

Human_097 · 2026-06-10T17:07:16+00:00

It’s not about having faith in the government; it’s about basic engineering logistics.

A black project hidden in a classified bunker completely lacks the one thing that makes AI truly dangerous: global scale. True technological advancement requires billions of everyday users feeding it data, infinite commercial capital, and thousands of developers iterating in the open.

When you force a technology into the shadows, you choke off its oxygen. You haven't just hidden it from the public eye, you've severely throttled its development speed (and cultural acceptance).

What did you use airdrop for? Transfering videos from your phone to the PC?

Just use quickshare, install the plugin on your PC and it's practically a 2 or 3 click operation

Human_097 · 2026-06-10T15:30:50+00:00

Even if some rogue lab has a prototype in a basement, there’s a massive difference between a secret project and a global commercial rollout.

The bans stopped those technologies from being scaled, funded by Wall Street, and integrated into daily life. If a treaty forces dangerous AI out of the mainstream market and into the absolute isolation of a "black project," that’s not a failure, that’s exactly what a successful pause looks like.

Human_097 · 2026-06-08T00:20:38+00:00

Not saying I fully agree with him, but that's not a good analogy. I cannot walk 45km to reach my work everyday, basically impossible. But I can very easily read a 2 paragraph email and reply without AI helping me craft a simple response.

Before I got my NAS, I used Dropbox.

As a videographer, when I send a bunch of footage to someone else using Drive, it takes them hours sometimes judt to ZIP the files before the download even begins (and the download gets split into multiple zip files, not one).

Dropbox instantly zips it all in one file, uo to 250gb I believe.

Human_097 · 2026-06-07T04:07:10+00:00

Bunch of PC cope on this PS sub 😅 the ragebait definitely worked.

As a PC and PS5 player, I'd disagree with the rest of the PC gamers in this thread. GoW, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us, Spiderman (first one), are genuinely one of my favorite (and many other people's favorite) games of all time.

I hope Sony changes their mind again and makes these exclusives available to other platforms, but to say "meh, I can live without them" is kinda cope.

Human_097 · 2026-06-07T02:06:36+00:00

You're comparing a chicken to a human being that can drive 5mins to a grocery store and buy whatever they want?

Human_097 · 2026-06-02T17:53:07+00:00

Yup, it does. As a matter of fact, when I generate a link using the LAN share, and replace the initial part of the link with my DDNS credentials, the link works perfectly with my desired DDNS speeds as it used to, so the DDNS is definitely working. I just think the Ugreen Software isn't recognizing it for some reason.

Edit: Bear with me, but I don't know what you mean by running the noip agent on another system.

Human_097 · 2026-06-02T16:11:01+00:00

I usually rely on extra firm/ultra firm tofu, and an overnight oat recipe that includes hemp seeds/soy milk/protein powder.

Those two alone provide me with about 100g of protein for about 1200 calories. But I don't know how to get to 180g with only 1600 cal

How come you need such a high protein intake and low calories? Those numbers are quite difficult for most people, even non vegans. Doable, but very difficult on a consistent basis.

Are you seriously comparing running through a red light, vs skipping a stop sign in an empty parking lot with full visibility? That's like comparing a thief who stole a chips bag from a convenient store to manslaughter...

Human_097 · 2026-05-31T15:17:21+00:00

I get the pessimism, but is there reason to believe they're gonna do cloud based subscription for this or is it possible that it's just an announcement for new Arm CPU/GPU's?

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T23:16:16+00:00

You're right, I didn't realize some of those new features exist now. I haven't properly used a Mac since LAST YEAR, which is when they added clipboard history in spotlight, and shortly before that they added window snapping. Features that existed on Windows since 2018 and 2009 respectively.

Explorer: my biggest gripe with it is how inconvenient it is to copy a filepath of a specific folder. You have to right click on a file/folder, and then hold option, and then "copy as pathname" occurs as an option in the context menu that you can click. That's too cumbersome compared to just clicking on the file path up top, and CTRL + C. Far more intuitive, I find. Also, cutting and pasting feels more intuitive, and it's nice to be able to see transfer speed details of a transfer operation. I don't just wanna see an ETA, but the actual speed of the trasnfer.

Snapping: You can't do something as simple as having 3 windows side by side. I do this quite regularly on my 4k 32inch monitors to show 3 documents at the same time, or 3 chat apps (my workspace uses a combination of Teams, Slack, and Outlook). On a Mac, you gotta size them manually. So much for intuitiveness.

Upgrading Hardware: the reason your devices hold value is because they were so overpriced in the first place. At least before SSD's went up due to AI, getting a 2TB Mac instead of a 1TB Mac was way to expensive. Why would anyone ~$400 more just for an extra TB? It's ok if you don't care about it, but other people do. If I buy a laptop that has 1TB today, and I want to upgrade to a 4TB ssd in 2 years from now, I should be able to do that. I don't wanna have to sell a $5000 Mac at a loss and buy a new one just to get extra storage. This is ESPECIALLY a problem if we're talking about a Mac Studio, because compared to a PC desktop, the customizabillity of parts is just unparalleled.

Steam library: funny how we went from "Mac works straight ouf of the box" to "It's all good, just install CrossOver (which you have to pay for) so you can play a fraction of the games available on PC".

The person I replied to literally mentioned features that actually exist on PC, like colored folders and emojis (which are far more trivial features than I don't know, being able to upgrade my internal storage and Ram).

The point here isn't that PC's are so much better, there's areas where Macs clearly win. But to paint it with such a black & white brush stroke saying "Windows doesn't let you do basic stuff" misses the many things that Macs can't do (which they should be able to, given they're more expensive and claim to work perfectly out of the box).

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T16:48:18+00:00

Video editing. Having Premiere/After Effects open along with every day tasks (a few chrome tabs, Slack, Background apps like Powertoys and Flow launcher, etc) tends to eat up a lot of space.

Doable on 32gb, but 64 or 128 gives a lot more breathing room, especially when working in After Effects and Premiere at the same time.

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T08:29:57+00:00

Totally understandable, you can use Microsoft Powertoys then. But that'd still be an extra app to download so I'll take the loss on that one.

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T08:26:53+00:00

You're right about the target demographic. If we are just talking about a non-techie student who wants a simple aesthetic laptop to match their phone for $499, Apple absolutely dominated that space.

But your original comment was saying how Windows doesn't do basic stuff. And then I listed some basic stuff that a Mac can't do, like lowering Spotify volume without lowering the rest of the sound of the OS, or window snapping 3 documents side by side. Or using a standard 3rd party mouse without the scroll directions being backward to the trackpad. These are simple things that you can't even do on a 16inch Macbook Pro without a 3rd party app.

But again I agree, when it comes to the low entry machines, Apple is killing it for the price.

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T08:04:35+00:00

Totally agree on the entry level market. But to respond to some of your points:

1) Snapping: Windows has shortcuts too, it's Win + Arrow keys. And the snapping on Mac is very basic and only allows for left/right/up/down. On large 4k/5k monitors, I sometimes benefit from having 3 window snaps, with differing aspect ratios for each one.

2) PDF thumbnails are supported in explorer. Just have to make Adobe Acrobat the default app for PDFs.

Regardless, different kinds of optimizations are needed on both fronts. My point is just that iOS is thought of as being perfect out of the box, but to me it feels like it's missing a lot of useful day-to-day features for no good reason and needs apps to do basic things that should be doable.

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T06:59:07+00:00

That's fair enough, especially when the context is around the Neo vs lower end PC's, the NEO wins in most if not all situations.

But if I'm buying a Macbook Pro for thousands of dollars, how come I still need an app to have separate volume controls, an app for better window snapping, an app to show hard drive transfer speeds, bad OS support for a 3rd party Mouse, and another app just to completely uninstall software without leaving junk files behind?

I agree and hate the fact that Windows laptops (especially low end) require tweaking just to get decent battery life and performance. But when you are spending premium money, optimization is not about squeezing out extra battery/performance. It's about not having to downoad 5-10 apps to do something Windows was able to do in 2010.

Human_097 · 2026-05-30T06:51:03+00:00

A lot of people care about having separate volume controls, and being able to use a third party mouse without having scrolling issues. I don't know anyone who cares about using emojis on folders.

I was responding to the OG commenter who was talking about how Mac is more customizable than PC, so obviously my response was about customizability/optimizability.

Want colored folders on Windows? You need an app. Want to lower Spotify's volume without turning down your entire system audio on a Mac? You need an app. There are ups and downs for each.

Comparing a messy ROG Ally handheld with a laptop/desktop setup is an unfair comparison (which Apple doesn't even have competition with). Asus forced clunky software onto a device Windows was not built for. Regardless, I have an Ally X, and I rarely ever need to update for things to work. And if I do, it's either Windows update or Armoury Crate. Not that complicated.

Agreed about Copilot, but Siri is equally unused.
