The Road to Serfdom - Friedrich August von Hayek

Apology of Socrates - Plato

The Betrayal of the Intellectuals - Julien Benda


Technically any kind of datacenters, not just crypto, produces heat. Clouds, AI, banaking segment, etc.

Sure, but those applications may actually do something useful. Crypto mining is entirely useless, except as a way to facilitate black-market transactions.

That is typical narrative of those who are teriffied of uknown. Or well functionial alternative transaction system that is not under control of central banks.

Fiat is no longer currency that store value. How long do you think that financial system with unlimted debt could least?


Then what?

- I have nothing to hide.

- Sure, but why are you closing the door when taking sh*? Is your sh*ing somehow special?


So you still believe that system which gives people less freedom with every new regulation would solve anything by contributing to it? Shouldn't we abandon the idea of giving our repsonsibility and power to uknown electorate?

You can buy projector and have 120 inches screen in 160 inches wide room. And it is also unbreakable screen, useful especially if you have kids.


It’s nice but OLED contrast is very hard to beat, and if you’re one of those folks who insist that ‘a white wall is good enough’ then it’s not even the same ballpark of image quality.


Are cinema screens bad in contrast? Do you need a pixel peeping while watch conpressed streaming show?

How far away from the screen do you need to sit though? Isn’t that too wide? I have kids but I’ve never seen them almost break a TV lol


"Too wide" is in the eye of the beholder. I typically sit eight feet from a 130" ultra-wide projection screen. That felt enormous the first time I used it, but after a decade it seems "normal" and I occasionally think about going bigger.

With awful blacks, sure.

You consider cinema screen as awful?


Dimensions: ~158 x 74 x 9mm

It's way too big for me. Anything above 71mm width is unconfortable to hold in one hand or pocket.


Currently going from 67mm to 71.2mm. And I kinda can expect pain. And that is pretty much the narrowest phone available on the market in traditional form. And I already can expect that grip won't be fully usable.


Not true. Crypto wallets works just fine.


Not sure, but I bought used x201 in 2014 and it died few months ago (faulty charging port, weak monitor joints). Replaced by P14s gen2 with AMD. Of course it is better in every aspect, except one disc port and overall durability.
