Are you guys using VCR to pirate media or something?

I got a set with my pixel 8 purchase and I’d say for the $120 they’re worth it. I wouldn’t purchase them for full price though.

The sound quality is definitely acceptable. They aren’t as good at my WH-1000XM4s, which are over ears also by Sony, but they do a decent job of providing clarity and moderate bass. The higher frequencies can be a bit peaky especially at higher volumes and I feel it’s lacking in maximum volume but they’re solid nonetheless.

The ANC leaves a little too be desired in circumstances with loud ambient environments but I get the feeling that with a set of foam tips it would be excellent. The transparency mode on the other hand works phenomenally and is very impressive.

I haven’t used them for calls yet so I can’t comment on call quality or the microphones.

The touch pads to me are the biggest mark against these as they can be a bit finicky. To pause your music you need to tap once but very often it registers that input as a swipe and raises or lowers the volume instead. Perhaps it’s just something I’ll get used to in time.

Lastly make sure you don’t order it in white as the case especially collected all sorts of marks within days of use.

Doesn’t this movie literally introduce several new characters?

Let’s compare the S9 to the S23.

The S23 has Wi-Fi 6E support, Bluetooth 5.3 support, twice as much base storage and RAM, 5G support, an in display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, 3 high resolution cameras, 120hz refresh rate, twice as fast internal storage, a 33% larger battery, a much newer version of Android and to top it off a processor that’s roughly 3X as powerful as the S9.

So to me it might not be fair to call the S9 dialup but I would say a comparison between broadband and fiber is pretty accurate. At the very least the other features are worth upgrading for if not the speed. Now I suppose the S9 is still a perfectly good phone to be used as just a phone but these things are really portable computers and the increase in processing power becomes tremendous in a short period of time.

Not to put too fine of a point in it but you’re wrong because your understanding of frame generation and displays is slightly flawed.

Firstly most people’s displays, whether it be a TV or a monitor, are at least minimally capable of 60hz which it seems you correctly assumed. With that said most TVs and monitors aren’t capable of what’s called variable refresh rate. VRR allows the display to match however many frames your graphics card is able to put out instead of the graphics card having to match your display’s refresh rate. This eliminates screen tearing and allows you to get the best frame times at your disposal as the frame is generally created and then immediately displayed.

The part you might be mistaken about from my understanding is the frame time lag. Frame time is an inverse of FPS. The more frames generated per second the less time in between the frames. Now under circumstances where there is no VRR and the frame rate does not align with a displays native rate there can be frame misalignment. This occurs when the monitor is expecting a frame that is not yet ready. It’ll use the previous frame or part of it until a new frame becomes available to be displayed. This can result in screen tearing or stuttering and yes in some cases this can add additional delay in between frames. In general though a >30 FPS framerate will feel smoother on a 60hz display than a locked 30 FPS because you’re guaranteed to have every frame displayed twice.

I’ll never forget my Sweet 3 series… Because I’m still paying for it’s repairs years later.

None of our representatives should be dying in office. At least he didn’t drag this out like McConnell and Feinstein. May he rest in peace regardless.
