Right. It's so strange that people are sticklers for pixel resolution, but not temporal resolution.

I use on PS4 games which are frame-locked to 30 FPS, to make them look like 60 FPS.

'Tis true. I should have specified SATA SSDs, only.

Whoops, just checked - 2.5 inch drives are natively possible with my NAS. I guess I should have mentioned speed as another perk of using SSD!

Maybe possible with adapters - As far as I know all SSDs are 2.5" so I'd have to solve that problem first, anyway.

I do, actually. it's a 6TB array built 5 years ago made of 1.8TB and 2.7 TB drives, and I still have 1TB free.

I'm wondering about replacing my NAS drives with SSD at this point, for lower power consumption and noise.

I also think the people forget just how many things the iPhone 4 brought to the table when it came out: Retina Display Multitasking Facetime Video Recording Selfie Camera Airplay No other iteration came close to offering as much in a single release, and probably never will again.

Because it at least mostly makes it feel like 60 fps. I'll admit that it does add some weird artifacts every now and then. But I just can't play at 30 fps.

....because there are still new games being released that only support 30 fps, which boggles my mind. So I use smoothing to simulate 60 fps.

That also does not work properly under Linux. I have the first version which works pretty much perfectly on ChromeOS.

Same here. I used my unlocked iPhone SE on T-Mobile for 18 months, then joined my gf's Verizon plan. All that was needed was a Sim pop. Not even a reboot. I'll say that for visual voicemail to work again, Verizon had do something. Didn't need to hook it up to a PC , though.

Which is stupid since all of the signs in North Jersey give Trenton as its control city.
