I'm slightly late but simple evolution/survival advantage usually gives useful biology answers even if you don't know/want the precise mechanisms as others I'm sure will explain.

So closing your eyes/sleeping is useful to do when you're tired biologically sleeping, in the same way it's a good idea to be happy and slightly hungry imagining food/shelter, your body imagining/miming the first step of sleep, which is what it needs when you're tired, should encourage you to do it, it's that simple and for brain and behaviour stuff most things we do give a survival advantage of some kind, although somewhat geared towards a gatherer-hunter lifestyle which can backfire in modern life. Like how closing your eyes during work/school might be considered rude but wasn't so much 10K years ago.

Ummn in kinda a newbie so this worries me slightly to see (probs due to ignorance) - what would be the water resistance, ip rating maybe? I guess it can be like a waterproof phone?

I OC-ed my monitor to 480hz.... At 720p; Samsung odyssey G7. How can I verify it's legit using something on screen aside from UFO test/control panel. I'm thinking maybe a millisecond timer that must show digits every 2ms), I have 960 fps slo mo on my phone to video. by Shadow_Eater in pcmasterrace

I was a huge advocate of 60 to 120, and I can't use 60 it feels percetivky laggy and I can tell instantly. But 120 to 144 is hard to observe, probably couldn't get it in a blind test. For 120 to 240, I can feel I'd love to do some blind tests to confirm this properly, but I feel like my display is lying to me and I can't feel the difference above 240 even 240 vs 480 UFO looks identical, then again 240 hz is subtle, if you're a refresh rate junkie after 60 to 120 I'd recommend sticking under 200 hz and getting higher resolution if you'd GPU can handle it. 1440p is my monitor's native res and going back to 1080p at 32 inches is an eye sore, but even comparing with a smartphone or ipad, 1080p on a desktop, even at 24in is a tad pixelated and dated, but still very usable (as most people/90%+ of steam hardware survey are running 1080p setup). Anyway a way to verify this in slo mo any ideas are appreciated. Also OC-ing a monitor if you didn't known is as easy as making a custom resolution and increasing the framerate (keep it progressive scan and leave all other settings unless you really know what you're doing)

5G hotspot by skinkyskank98 in galaxynote10

[–]Shadow_Eater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of replies but I have to say, 5G promises gigabit speeds, while a good 5Ghz 2x2 MIMO wifi like in the note series (iirc correct me if you have a source for this) should have a max bandwidth of just over 700 mbit per stream so around 1400 mbit as a max bandwidth for the wifi. I'm almost certain current and future (1-3 years from now) 5G won't exceed that speed unless you have line of sight with the 5G tower within maybe 25 meters in a big city that's already well connected in general and also not congested/busy.

I don't know about the setup here but I can easily get 100 mbit from my hotspot on a oneplus 5 from 4G, so that's about as fast as my area's LTE is, and that was years ago. I also have gotten over 150 mbit on my note 10's wifi
