most DACs can actually do 96khz if they want. (so 48khz max reproducible freq.) and most humans can really only hear up to 16khz even though the "theoretical max" is 22khz. with all that bandwidth to work in, 300 baud shouldnt be hard.

It is not to have 4 times as many things on the screen as a 1080p monitor. It is to have a 2:1 pixel ratio (like all the apple retina displays) or somewhere in-between. Web content, thanks partly to apple pushing high dpi displays, is now often tuned for this, showing you twice as much detail in the same space while keeping the dimensions it would have on a normal dpi display.

Read what anandtech had to say about testing a 4k monitor, and about how nice it is to look at fonts that arent just anti-aliased, but hardly have aliasing to begin with, thanks to the dpi.

I run a 1440p monitor, as it was the most pixels I could reasonably afford, (4K is just too much $) and I scale everything up so it's roughly 1080p sized. I love it for the clarity and sharpness, not for the number of things I can cram on the screen. (Although I do run my font just a little small in my text editor/ide)

There are of course downsides besides the price. Most of the 1440p monitors have poor input latency, meaning your mouse might feel a tiny bit laggy or put you at a slight disadvantage if you're a gamer, compared to lower latency 1080p monitors. That's totally ignoring whether your video card can render smoothly at that resolution. With 4K I'm not sure but I suspect it's the same or worse.

Yeah, there are many cheaper ones already out there... I ordered several "G7 Power" chinese 9w LED bulbs, easily brighter than the 65w incandescent floods they replaced. Look them up on amazon. They are cool to the touch and very bright, and have a "lifetime guarantee". Why have these things not gotten more press?? Are they doomed to fail in a short amount of time?

What's up, Roku employee?

This sounds like it's fundamentally the same as radar or sonar but using light instead.

Yes, there were cases reported years ago of people "re-sharing" paid wireless connections as free ones in places like airports, for the purpose of capturing sensitive data.
