I disagree. It’s not the ideal place, but it’s fine

A little bit of savings? How much would you need to save per month?

For everyone, right? Nobody works everyone just collects their 3k

Damn, congratz!!

It has gotten a lot better 😀

Yeah I think those other people are conspiracy theorists, like you said.

Is it a lack of empathy?

Yes, it’s a disregard for human life

Will it just download a higher resolution video, drop every other pixel, and display the rest?

Yes, just like it can show a 1080p video not in fullscreen :)

I sit quite close to a large 1080p monitor. That’s why I notice when the bitrate is low and the video I am seeing lacks true 1080*720 pixels. Basically it’s compressed so much, that the image is noticeably worse than an image my monitor could display. That’s why when I use a higher pixel count compression, like 1440p, the compression problems don’t show as bad on the screen that will only show 1080p pixels anyways. That’s what I am talking about. On a phone or a laptop screen it will probably be less noticeable. I guess that’s why Youtube does it, it probably saves them a huge amount of bandwidth and people who want really good quality video might already have 4k displays which then get a way higher bitrate video feed anyways.

I guess the 1080p monitor size starts to be a niche. More and more people using it are on smartphones I guess so it really makes sense to have a very low bitrate.

I was just guessing the higher CPU usage. You’re probably right that it doesn’t matter

Bat?

hell yes. Being cruel is uncool :)

No. The French people are not desperate, they have too much to lose

Too much power
