A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And I'm still here with a 1080p TV. Because my previous ISP had data caps, I'm not convinced my current ISP won't move to data caps, and there isn't a lot of good 1080p content out there besides DVD/BluRay and my Rips, let alone 5k or 8k content.
