lemme say something, 8k and 360hz displays are overrated.

 

That I can get behind. People are still hanging onto 1080p and the market shows that. Choices for 1440P and 4K displays are scarce. Meanwhile with 1080p,you can pretty much find any configuration you would want at a price point that won't break the bank.

Just received my 3rd scam call today. How do I apply for a job as a moderator on the phones so I can ban these annoying scammers?

8k, yes, but 360hz sounds pretty cool.

the eye can't see more than 16 frames a sec but I agree there is a diff between 60hz and 90hz but anything above 120hz is pointless

8k and bigger is kinda a necessity 100"and larger. You don't want pixels as big as hams. 

but it isn't like you go and sit 2 inches away from a screen that large to see and count each pixel... 4k was more than enough.

It's a pre recorded message. The one I've been getting this week has been "You are being investigated by the government and you will be arrested if you do not contact us. Press 1 to speak to an officer now"

(And before you ask, no, it's not legit. It's a known scam that has been reported on the government agency's website and on scamwatch)

Quote

In a fake government threat scam, victims receive a robocall pretending to be from a government department, such as the ATO or Department of Home Affairs.

The scammer will claim something illegal, such as tax fraud or money laundering, has been committed in the victim’s name and they should dial 1 to speak to an operator.

The scammer then tries to scare people into handing over money and may threaten that they would be arrested if they refuse.

I got one of these too, mine told me I was being investigated by the state of Texas for Tax evasion or fraud. 

 

I will admit, part of me did jump a bit. But it took 0.37 seconds to realize its a scam.

Like, flinched because something scarred me? Or had to jump to reach something or catch a very high sport ball or sport related object?

 

I mean I know in August I had to jump over an obstacle in an Obstacle course but that's the last time I remember jumping for the sake of jumping.
