What's your favorite technological meme?
Mine's the ppi meme
>>54594702
it's only a meme when
a) it's an inside joke used ironically
b)In /g/'s case when it is "snakeoil" technology
c)When is technology that the mainstream thinks is great, but in reality proves no benefit.
PPI is not a meme, is a characteristic. and depends entirely on the use of the display, as well as the size of the screen, distance from eyes, etc.

>>54594702
wait are you implying that PPI doesn't exist or that it has no practical or even aesthetic applications?
>>54595559
/g/ honestly thinks anything over 100ppi is useless because Apple.
I wonder how many people were here 5 years ago when /g/ constantly praised shit like the 2048x1536 R60 ThinkPads and IBM T221 4K monitors.
>>54595245
>I never use more than half of it.
this is literally the reason you need more than 8 gb. If you are using half of 16gb, you are using ~8gb. And using 8gb ram when you have 8gb is not pretty.
>>54594702

>>54595576
Only 100? I'm pretty sure /g/ thinks there's a difference.
>>54595576
I'm almost certain half the shit on /g/ is written by children, or at least man children who have no idea what they are talking about.
Shitting on PPI because of apple is just sad. It's like they want technology to stagnate.
>>54595577
This, fuck me some people here are retarded. The 16 gigs is for when you do hit 8, otherwise you're fucked.
>>54595639
I could find some threads full of people arguing how you need to have your nose up to the screen to see a difference. And here's a picture from 2011 full of people mocking high PPI because Apple made a high PPI laptop.

>>54595757

There comes a point where the high resolution doesn't fucking matter. For me it's the 1080p on my Nexus 5X. I rely wouldn't want a higher resolution on this screen as it would just drain battery faster and I won't notice it much
There needs to be content to justify the higher price.
Apple has a good idea with Retina but they just use it as a marketing ploy to make prices higher and appeal to Normie's who don't know what the fuck Retina is.

well if he had 4GB, he also wouldn't be using full 4gb, pc would still work just fine. Hell, even with 2gb ram he would be able to use pc ant most of the applications and the usage would be somewhere around 1,9GB. Do you think that pc would work acceptably?

Now you're trying to define the term portable with arbitrary standards. If you actually cared about portability you'd be using a smartphone. Many people would argue laptops aren't portable enough, even on /g/.

>>54600358

Laptops aren't portable. You can't put them in your pocket, you can't easily carry them around without having something like a bag, and they can't be used in your hand. They're not portable at all, so why even bother talking about portability and laptops in the same sentence?
>>54600451
Given the desktops they're used to replace on the go they're very portable machines. Sure a 17" is more portable than a desktop too, but it's far too large when a 12" laptop exists.

Most sane websites only switch into smartphone mode when your useragent identifies as a mobile device. Some shitty websites like 4chan switch into smartphone mode when you get below a certain threshold however, but they don't seem to be that common.

It's called a cycle.

>>54601047
>A poll performed by Peter Doran and Maggie Kendall Zimmerman at University of Illinois at Chicago received replies from 3,146 of the 10,257 polled Earth scientists. Results were analyzed globally and by specialization. 76 out of 79 climatologists who "listed climate science as their area of expertise and who also have published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change" believed that mean global temperatures had risen compared to pre-1800s levels. Seventy-five of 77 believed that human activity is a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures. Among all respondents, 90% agreed that temperatures have risen compared to pre-1800 levels, and 82% agreed that humans significantly influence the global temperature.

They could happen, but there's no evidence of them happening so fast. And by what mechanism would it happen? You're only looking at the effects and ignoring the cause.
