Yeah, I saw this coming in mid 2020. Everyone was stuck at home so they either needed a computer for work or school from home, and even if they didn’t they were suddenly finding themselves spending a lot more time on their devices at home. So it made sense to buy a new personal computer, tablet, etc. Now a lot of the market has a 1-2 year old computer and has no reason to upgrade. And with all the power the modern systems have it’s going to be another 3-4 years before sales start to get back to pre lockdown numbers.

They need to figure out the tech and production before it’ll really be popular. A lot of it, even the 8k stuff is just plain blurry. The depth of field is very fixed. In that sweet spot it looks good, but to close or to far away and it’s very flat looking. They also really seem to struggle with camera placement sometimes. I’ve seen some good parts where they get everything right, but it’s usually only a couple minutes and then something looks off again and throws any shred of realism right out the window. And anything less than 7k is generally unwatchable. But a lot of studios are still only releasing at 6k or lower. And even the 7k and 8k stuff the bit rate is way to low to the point that it looks worse than a decent 6k scene. When they get it right it’ll be amazing, but they still have a long way to go to really get things dialed in.

I think it was a forward pass, but I can see where it could be argued as a fumble. It looked like a lot of that forward motion came from his fingertips hitting the ball after it was well out of his hands. And if he had control of the ball then it would have been long gone before his fingers had a chance to hit it.

No problem if your drilling a hole. But if your using a table saw or circular saw it’s generally safer to finish your cut before you start worrying about why your phone is blowing up. If you even hear it of course.

If your using power tools your not going to notice an alert on your phone and even if you do your going to finish what your doing because that is the safest thing to do in almost all scenarios. The only way you might be able to do something is if you had headphones in and the alert came in over them.
