Comment Upscaling. (Score 1) 92

The more raw pixels your display device has, the better you can upscale lower resolution video onto it. For example, if I watch 720p video on a 1080p display, it has to do a 3:2 upscaling and that means that half the scan lines fall in the cracks and cannot be represented adequately. If I'm using a 2160p display, that's a 3:1 upscaling and every third line can correspond to exactly what was fed in. Thin lines won't disappear, and text will remain legible no matter what size it was in the original image. I could also use Nearest Neighbor scaling and get every pixel replicated 9 times over, but it would remain faithful. Similarly, if I feed in a 480p signal from a retro game rig, higher resolution at the screen level means I have more options on how to best emulate a CRT without having to worry about pixel boundaries on the output end.

I want an 8K display in the range of 50 inches so that I have the choice of sitting two feet away and using it as a monitor, or sitting across the room where I admittedly won't care if it's upscaling 1080p video. I don't want to have to own two separate devices to do these jobs, even if the resolution is overkill much of the time. Right now, I use a 27 inch 4K display as my primary monitor but there are times when I really could use two or even four of them. Do I need an 8K TV? No, I realistically don't even need a 4K TV. 1080p is fine there. But that's not the only thing I would want to use a large display for. I don't have room for a dedicated movie watching screen if I've got a 55 inch monitor mounted to a wall, the one device has to do double duty and that means sometimes it's going to be severe overkill for the purpose.

Wind, solar, and batteries isn't likely to get an electrical grid as close to zero carbon as France sees with heavy use of nuclear fission.

Nuclear uses gargantuan amounts of concrete for cooling towers, ponds, and underground storage bunkers. Which produces a lot of CO2. As always, renewables beat the pants off your radioactive water heaters.

To stop the advance of Ukrainian troops in the occupied part of the Herson district.

Russian artillery does that with ease, without flooding Russia's own troops and equipment. Your propaganda is as self-debunking as the assertion that Russia would blow up their own multibillion dollar pipeline and top negotiating tool that they could have turned off with a switch.

Why did the ruzzkie destroy dozens of cities that according to their own propaganda were "Russian"? Mariupol, Bakhmut, Volnovaha, etc. etc. etc?

Because your Azov pals were heavily dug in, especially with the tunnels under Mariupol. Duh.

LOL, which ruzzkie troll farm did you crawl out from?

There's a nice meme that neatly addresses this dipshit dumbfuckery. It's a clear picture of a banana, with a caption that says "this is an apple, if you see anything else, you're a Putin Puppet". Twenty years ago you losers would have been smearing Iraq war skeptics as Saddam Lovers. SSDD.

Quite strange then that the Ukrainian people have been resisting ruzzkie "approach" since the 90s, and are either trying to fight this invasion off or running away, mostly westwards, don't you think?

Quite colossally ignorant. Crimea was voting for more indepenence from Kiev and closer ties to Russia in the 90's. People in Donbass also overwhelmingly voted to re-join Russia. Small wonder as Kiev had spent eight years bombarding them.

Their war crimes are well-documented, numerous and unprovoked.

Annnnnnd more projection. Less than half a percent of Ukraine casualties are children, compared to 30% or more in Gaza. That's the difference between a war and a genocide. Russia hasn't even done decapitation strikes to take out the Banderite regime.

Basically, a terrorist shit will do terrorist shit anytime.

Using a HIMARS or an M-777 for your projection? Nazi America and Nazi Israel are by far the worst terrorist states the world has ever seen.

And once you see "banderites" and other similar propaganda shit, you know you're talking to a zetnik.

Western media was awash in reports on Ukraine's Nazi problem before it was time to forget all that to pretend Russia was the bad guy. Including NATO itself via their Atlantic Council think tank telling you of Hitler Youth camps set up in Ukraine.

Enjoy your bowl of shit, NAFO troll.

America's allies were warned for many years on becoming reliant on Russian energy and how that could be used against them in the future. That time has come.

EU countries did that to themselves by cutting off their main natgas supplier, not from any action taken by Russia. And then whistled and looked the other way when the US blew Nordstream.

The sun doesn't stop shining and the wind doesn't stop blowing for literal months at a time. Your radioactive water heaters do for maintenance. Nuke fans love France for their nuclear fleet but half of their plants were down at one time for maintenance. Nothing is more unreliable than nuclear power.

The Congressmen and women doing the investigation are all taking money from the Teacher's Union.

They're taking infinitely more money from the corrupt worker hating oligarchs that want no taxes (on them) and hate workers - teachers included. Your sense of proportion is broken and priorities misplaced.

It's attritional warfare. One Russia has dominated from the beginning when it was firing four times as many artillery rounds a day than your Nazi pals. Who knows what it is now when the west can barely supply Ukraine with munitions while Russia happily makes millions of rounds per year.

They can keep this pace up indefinitely. NAFO cannot. Russia could easily roll all over Kiev right to the Polish border if they wanted to and were willing to absorb the casualties.

They don't want to.

Your Nazi pals are collapsing on all fronts, and yes that's a copy and paste as your McCarthyite cocksucking trash was destroyed the first time. NATO admits Russia produces arms in three months what takes all of NATO a year to produce. Suck on that sucker. of. Satan's. cock.
