Comment on What are your technology mispredictions?
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 day agoI thought the advent of 4k TVs would push people over to BluRay because with the codecs available a decade ago you needed a good 40mbit+ for a single 4k stream. Turns out I picked the wrong component of streaming to be the thing that would push people back to physical media.
Also all of that broadband investment that was talked about a decade+ ago actually turned into broadband improvements, so now even my in-laws who live on 8 acres in the sticks outside of a tiny town of 400 or so residents have gigabit FTTH service

It doesn’t matter how good is internet connection nowadays, the source in the server is still encoded losing some quality.
Tried to watch Batman Begins in HBO Max, despite being offered as 4K UHD, the loss of information was noticeable on my OLED tv, specially the blacks (as you know, there is almost no black colour in Batman /s).
A friend of mine lend me his Nolan’s Batman trilogy on BR 4K UHD and it was like night and day.
Since the lbs I’m buying physical for movies that I like the most and want to watch them in the highest quality possible.
