I know some people still swear by their old iPods or film cameras. For me it's a 15 year old Western Digital external HDD. Do you have any older gadgets or tech that you refuse to let go of?

Same thing for 100 inch models now. Maybe it'll flatten out in a few years.

This is mostly useless, except to justify buying a bigger TV. However, I did learn:

For most popular high end models, the 65 inch models are cheapest / sq inch (e.g Sony A95L, Samsung S90D, LG G4). For most others, it's the 75 inch models.
TCL S551F 55" scores the lowest ($0.17/sq inch)
The lowest scoring OLED is the Samsung S85D ($0.55/sq inch)
For 100 inches, Hisense QD7 is the cheapest ($0.37/sq inch). For 85 inches, it's the TCL S551F ($0.22/sq inch)

[–] mahin 1 points 4 months ago

Yes, it's more of a supporting tool to check prices and overall reviews. Checking detailed reviews should be done as well.

Data comes from amazon listing, which is why it's incorrect. Yes, passmark is CPU score.

It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.
