@wongmjane I have a giant 85" OLED in my office as interactive wall art and sometimes I'll have it display 4k trail walks or other interesting 4k experience videos.. or cycle through famous artwork.. It's like a window into a different world.

Don't try to convince or persuade people. It will only get in the way. Just tell your story. That will help people see that it's (far) more complex than they realized.

@chx @elmuertecom It's fair to note that the 888 is finally fast "enough" that it may not matter. But it's not fair that Qualcomm set a huge swath of the mobile computing world back a *decade* in performance. They get no points, and may they rot in hell forevermore.

@chx @elmuertecom Android the OS is perfectly fine. Good even. It's the hammerlock that Qualcomm has on the industry that's profoundly bad for everyone. They've single handedly set mobile phones back a DECADE. I take that shit very, very personally. Fuck Qualcomm.

@chx well, with all due respect, I don't think you know what you're talking about. We build a JavaScript app for the last 10 years so I'm intimately familiar with the level of perf needed to load, parse, and display a JS app. And a speedometer score of 50 ain't really cuttin' it.
