The point of a 100 dollar merch hoodie isn't that you get a 100 dollars worth of hoodie. It's that you support the artist. A less expensive hoodie means less for the artists. That's kinda the point of merch....

Largely this is probably true. One large benefit for the consumer with streaming music over buying it is actually that it is cheaper. Significantly cheaper if you listen to a bunch of different things. So if everyone has moved to a method of listening to music that costs less then there has to be less money available to artists (all else being equal).
Even if 100% of streaming services' revenue went to artists it could still be less money.
The problem isn't Spotify itself, it's the business model of streaming being way too cheap.
Ah yes all those millionaire artists. Poor rich artists. Everyone knows all artists are rich. Right?
Did you.. read the comment? It wasn't about the streaming platform owners.

I didn't downvote you
The way I parsed your earlier comment was that the solution to making a resolution like 4k usable on a laptop was just to lower your resolution. My point is that if instead of lowering your resolution, meaning you're not utilizing the full potential of your screen, you can instead use UI scaling to make the resolution usable while still benefiting from the higher resolution in terms of sharpness in text, games etc.
Just listen to the radio then instead of complaining here?
For when you want to sleep in sub zero temps!
Clock speed isn't improving that quickly anymore. Other aspects, such as more optimized power consumption, memory speeds, cache sized, less cycle-demanding operations, more cores have been improving faster instead.
It doesn't feel like a premium material and it accumulates scratches and imperfections faster. Glass is either fine... or completely broken. Not a good heat conductor either.
And waste all those pixels? Scaling let's you keep the sharpness while also getting reasonably sized ui
I suspect the angle might make the space look smaller too, it's possible that the wall actually extends a bit out without being solid inside
