I feel it’s rude to call them freeloading, without them we wouldn’t be able to digest nearly as much food.

Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?
There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.
And it’s less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.
- Comment on How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught 5 weeks ago:
These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.
Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.
And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.
The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.
Oh and don’t post anything on social media.
- Comment on Every hour children spend on screens raises chance of myopia, study finds 2 months ago:
I think part of it is sun exposure, my eyesight is much worse than my close relatives, and I was born in Iceland which has much weaker sunlight.
- Comment on Every hour children spend on screens raises chance of myopia, study finds 2 months ago:
More likely a lack of sun exposure
- Comment on Every hour children spend on screens raises chance of myopia, study finds 2 months ago:
This is old science.
Increased time outdoors is correlated with a lower risk of myopia. It’s no surprise that more screen time = less time spent outdoors

- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 6 months ago:
The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.
What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.
- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 6 months ago:
I hate to be that guy, but this is wrong.
The solar system is mostly in one plane because it formed from a cloud of gas. The cloud of a gas has some total non zero rotation and interactions flatten the cloud into a disk, where all of the planets formed.
This same principle applies to galaxies.
