  • If you really want to know here’s the rundown

    Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - 256gbs + 128gb micro SD

    ThinkPad P43s - 512gbs + 128gb micro SD

    PS4 - 500gbs

    PS3 - 320gbs

    Xbox Series S - 512gbs + 1tb external HDD

    None of them except for the PS3 have enough space. Especially my laptop and the series s. I only have one game saved to my PS3 so it doesn’t need any more space but everything else could benefit from doubling or even tripling the storage space. Files are getting pretty big these days. Especially games. Black Ops 3 came out a long time ago and it’s over 100gbs.









  • Yeah that’s true. I’m glad that a big portion of all phones being released right now have oled screens, but it makes me miss the high quality ips LCD displays we used to get. Now you have the choice of a really sub par LCD, or an OLED/Super AMOLED display. I looked at the screen on my 2013 Nexus 7 and my Nvidia Shield K1 the other day and they hold up so so so well. It’s a shame I can’t just upgrade the internals. I’d kill for a Shield X1 or whatever chip will be going into the next switch.


  • I mean this post has 1200 upvotes. Considering most people don’t engage with the voting system that makes me think that there’s a decent amount of people here. At the very least it means there’s a lot of people here who engage with the community. More come every day. If this post were on Reddit, it would be on r/all right now. That’s not bad for a community with a fraction of the users.

    I think that in 10 years this place will be doing alright. I think the growth that’s happened in the last few months won’t last, but I think that growth will still steadily happen. The reddexodus doesn’t happen every day but with most social media platforms shitting their geriatric pants more and more lately, I think a consistent flow of refugees will come here.


  • Kind of. An LCD display has one backlight which illuminates the entire screen with one brightness. So a black screen and a white screen will use the same amount of electricity if both screens are set to the same brightness, even though to us a white screen looks brighter. Using a dark theme won’t save any electricity, but it won’t use any more either.

    Other display types use self illuminating pixels. Like OLEDs and plasma screens. So a screen which is mostly black uses a lot less electricity than a screen which is mostly any other color but black. Using a dark theme would use substantially less electricity.

    Even a CRT would use less electricity if you switch to dark theme while still using one, because the cathode ray wouldn’t have to light up the black pixels.

    I really hope that a more efficient cooling method comes out soon. Ideally I wish it wasn’t so hot out but being environmentally friendly isn’t profitable enough for those in charge. Hopefully selling a new efficient cooling method is profitable.
