Comment Re:Burn-in will exist (Score 1) 26

A traditional "LED TV" (LED backlight with LCD screen) needs white light, which they use blue LEDs + phosphor to achieve.

A micro-LED would need to use separate blue, red and green LEDs, yes? I can't see how phosphor would be needed or even not detrimental.

I'm just a layman, though.

What benefits?

Disadvantages include:
* Requires heavy computer power, so much that entire "farms" or data centres are being constructed/bought just for crypto currency.
* Side effect of this: Availability of high end CPU and GPUs are affected, their prices rice.
* The creation of these data centers have an ecological impact, and their operation require a lot of power.
* Money flow are harder to trace. This helps money laundring and criminal operations.

I repeat: What benefits are there? (Except for AMD, Intel and Nvidia)

>The nice thing about freedom of speech is it reveals to the world the true nature of an individual.

Unfortunately the aptitude to properly evaluate a statement (or individual) isn't as common as I'd like.

A bad idea can sort of be like a virus, and individual logical judgement be like a vaccine in that the idea may spread or die out depending upon its R value and "immunity %".

Me not so eloquent, but you get the idea, I suppose :-|

Alert me when the've manAIged to upscale Babylon 5 to 4k (or more).

Of course, I expect the ships to be revamped to far better model and with capability of partial destruction, not this "Now all fine, now fully blown to pieces".

It's a matter of time before professionals or even fan amateurs can and will "refresh" B5

> With standards, non-piracy has the potential to be as good and convenient and low-risk as piracy

What kind of 'standards' would do the trick?

I'm not trying to be glib or raise an argument; I'm just very interested in the "perfect" solution, if it is possible at all.
