You're an outlier. Top 0.1% vision. Or better.

I've got very good vision. Diopt 0.0 in both eyes. Due to my age I will be needing reading glasses within a couple of years but for now I can still read fine without them.

For me, the difference between HD and 4K is visible but small. I can't resolve individual pixels on 4K at any reasonable distance.

Since most people will have worse vision than us, 4K will be beyond their limit. 8K is only adding cost without adding quality.

It's better for you.

It's not better for a lot of businesses. The collaboration features of openoffice are sub-par. That alone excludes openoffice from most shortlists. Many businesses nowadays rely on Sharepoint. Only Google comes close to this.

Excel is by far the best in connecting to external database resources. By far the best in pivot tables. Both are extensively used for financial reporting.

Not saying Excel is perfect. But there simply is no serious competition.

Comment Replace your dryer, it'll save money. (Score 1) 146

If you still run a dryer without a sensor to stop it when the clothes are dry: replace it. It's ancient. It's using WAY more energy than modern heatpump dryers.

On the side: the traditional (resistance heated) dryer I bought 11 years ago, was full of sensors and stopped as soon as the clothes were dry. Replaced it with a heatpump dryer this year, which has the additional benefit of delayed start, which is useful to have it start when the solar panels are at maximum output.
