There's no NEED to move on from 1080p, but there are a lot of reasons.
I wouldn't even object to his position on 1080p if he said "the RX 5700 is fine for most users, don't waste your money and reduce e-waste".
He's telling consumers that they should expect to pay a premium price to be playing a slightly better than 2019 experience until 2028 or 2030. There are gullible people who won't understand that he's selling snake oil.
You can confidently say that this is fine for most consumers today. There really isn't a great argument that this will serve most consumers well for the next 3 to 5 years.
It's ok if well informed consumers are fine with a compromise for their use case.
Misrepresenting the product category, and misleading less informed consumers to believe that it's not a second rate product in the current generation is deeply anti-consumer.
It's a terrible replacement for Assistant. It's just the wrong tool for the job. Assistant was listening for commands and trying to turn those into actions. Gemini takes a second, misses the first half of the command, tries to figure out if I'm conversing or giving an instruction, and it's hit or miss if it gets that right.
If I ask "what's the weather today?" I have no idea if I'll get a forecast, the definition of the word weather, or the song "what's the weather like today" by the Kiboomers (which sounds like a cool indie band but in fact makes childrens early education songs).
Does anyone know an open source alternative for Android? Preferably something that works with home assistant.
There is so much I like about this. I like that Clark doesn't just look like Superman with glasses. It feels like they're addressing the big questions of his "humanity" and focusing on his role as a protector not a fighter. This version of Jonathan Kent looks promising (I really hated the Man of Steel version) and I think without the Kents he doesn't have the character that Superman requires. That's what makes him human. It feels like a comic in all the right ways.
James Gunn's credit is good with me too. Super, Guardians, Suicide Squad, Peace Maker, and Creature Commandos are all great IMO. He writes relationships so well.
"They're putting litterboxes in the classrooms for the furry kids. My cousin's rooommates's mom works at XYZ school and she said they're really doing that." I've heard it from 3 different people.
At no point during this Rogan Experience fever dream wherein a child in a fursuit poops in a sand box in class did any of these people stop to think that maybe they are just gullible.
No, I expect him to gaslight naive consumers. Which is what he did. I just don't get why others are defending it.
In this case, at 1080p it's barely more performance for a lot more money. And if we're falling back on "good enough for most people" then an RX 5700 or 6600 is also "good enough for most people".
It's a free market, he can sell a low value product to suckers. That's his right. You're free to defend him and think it's not scummy. But it's scummy, and hopefully most people who know better are going to call it out.
