And who does that? I mean, that's just a huge cost for what? Slightly sharper nipples on screen?
How often do you think, you'll watch, say GoT? Twice? Why bother building half a data center in your house for the off chance that you might, at some point, maybe want to consider to watch that one movie again?
It's a hobby, I get that. But arguing that it's useful is like saying you're restoring that 50s car in your garage for driving to work or grocery shopping. We all know, that's not the reason.
