  • TV and movies I’m totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that’s what the cinema is for.

    But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.

    But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day




  • It might mostly be the banks, but I know of one gas station near me that hits that max hold, and then seconds after I’m done filling, the charge quickly switches to 30 or so dollars I put in. Whereas the other gas station that hold stayed there for almost a day. My guess is intermediary card processors play a part as well. I also learned place number 2 sells fake BIC lighters, so I don’t go there anymore.
