The one group I can think of that actually tests burn in is rtings and they do that for TVs and monitors.

Phone reviewers just cycle through multiple phones so are the least reliable not using one phone as often or as long as regular people. Especially even more now that how long people retain phones has gone up with price increases.

Which actually has me wondering. How long do you typically use phones. Some upgrade every year. Some every 2. I've upgraded maybe on average 3 years or longer. So long it was the reason I shifted to custom roms in the past as security updates stopped. And getting nav burn taught me to try things like auto hide it.

I still have a oneplus 6 I use as a back up which is a phone that came out 7 years ago. Not sure how many years I've had it, but that's got burn in couple years ago. Do you use phones that long?

Reminds me of when AMD initially said they wouldn't support Zen 3 on 300 and 400 series motherboards then later backtracked after public backlash.

I don't know that people are less antagonist because of E33. I think regular tech hardware enthusiasts are getting gradually angrier after the initial excitement over them when it came to potential improvements in things like NPC behavior. Because its shifting towards not being able to afford hardware to begin with.

Things have moved from somewhat background noise to no longer something they can pretend to be unaffected by. I think the period of discourse over AI was most relevant couple years before hardware issues popped up. Those who hate AI now likely don't even care that much about creative elements. They are just pissed that AI is why prices are going up. They are angry at the AI data centers buying up all the hardware and supplies moving to corporations as consumers get cut off.

Its not surprising when even people who like AI are now being affected by consumer hardware prices that is leading to shift in previously positive perception of it.

Becoming harder to ignore its effects. Gone from a philosophical difference of opinion to actual tangible consequences.

So becomes a question of is AI cool enough to make them happy to put up with the rising cost of hardware, which is something tech enthusiasts tend to care a lot about with it being something needed to even enjoy AI generated stuff in the first place.

During normal use I wouldn't notice until I started reading webtoons and manga on my phone which shows a lot of white color that you don't typically see. And that's when I'd see the burn in my screen had picked up.

As for why there is more fuss about monitors than phones is because people use monitors for many more years than phones. And can use them for many more hours with lot of static elements with sometimes one program being used day in and day out. Its same reason why there is less talk of burn in for TVs versus monitors where TVs are more likely to have constantly changing visuals than monitor use case.

I've been hearing how burn in isn't an issue for years, but every phone I've had has had burn in. So I make sure to avoid apps that has a persistent UI if they are ones I'd use frequently.

I wouldn't notice in normal use cases then be surprised when I read manga or webtoons on the display.

Specs seem bad. Only 720p from the looks of it no mention of latency which makes it questionable for gamers. Better off getting a gaming monitor at that point over it.

I don't think this is even worth buying and seems the type of junk TV that would be sold on black Friday as a deal.

If you are fine with controller, Steam's Big Picture mode comes in real handy for launching and playing games without needing a keyboard.

But something like the k400 which has a touchpad does come in useful for navigating the desktop. Not great for games, but serviceable for typing and controlling the mouse if you ever feel like using the PC to browse the web or launch video files on the TV.

For keeping things neat I got a cheap packet of cable clips with adhesive and stuck them along the bottom of the baseboard.

It does look like a perfect Deck game. Sold.

Update: I really like managing tires and fuel during races. And the crew giving perks and having to keep them happy makes the seasons have some added depth. Liking the game and it runs well and I find the artstyle charming.

People don't this is just a weirdly phrased headline to draw engagement.

Yeah when I went from only Android to picking up Apple hardware I was shocked at how ad and subscription infested the Apple app store was after hearing for so long how much more polished it is.

And there isn't even a foss app store like F-droid to turn to. Was such a headache just trying to find a calculator app that didn't have ads and wasn't a subscription back when iPadOS didn't come with a calculator.

Apple and Google appstore sucks, but the obstacles Apple puts in so something like F-droid can be used makes it suck even more.

Linux on minipc with a cheap wireless keyboard like the k400 is a great combo. Won't be seeing ads with that, since on browser you'll have ublock origin for things pihole can't block.
