I’ve been in 787s with dual jacks. There aren’t any old 787s.

To render a single frame of a scene in a video game, a load of calculations have to be done. The nicer the graphics, and the higher the resolution, the more calculations have to be done to render the frame.

At 120Hz the console can dedicate half the computation time per frame than at 60Hz and a quarter of the time that it can dedicate at 30Hz.

So for developers to make games with the best possible graphics, they dial down the frame rate to allow for more computational time per frame.

It's also not just graphics, imagine a game with a lot of characters on screen. The game has to compute what each of those characters are doing, their movement e.t.c every frame. The game might support 50 characters on screen at 120Hz and 100 at 60Hz. The 100 character game may be better gameplay wise, so that's what's chosen.

Unless you're playing competitively, or on the absolute hardest difficulties, then honestly above 60Hz doesn't affect your experience that much (especially with a controller).

Its basically zero developer effort to add in an option to reduce graphics for higher FPS - and that only needs to sell you a handful more copies of the game to have been worth doing.

I’ve been on close to 500 flights in the last 5 years and I’ve never seen anything other than the single 3.5mm jack. My headphones came with the adapter for two pin and I never had to use it

No. They are near large bodies of water for cooling. The ways which is turned to steam is rather pure water to start with.

Well we dont know right? There Is this Quasar jet which dissapear for a bit And Is thought to be Faster than c, So we can't see it. You have to understand that heat, visible light, UV, radiowaves, your WiFi, tv signal And more is still "light" you just can't see most of it. Let have this box which can be shielded from everything in universe, but Is still in our universe, if you turn on a flash light in there, surprise you Will see light. But if this box Is not part of our universe, there Will be no light, cuz the energy can't travel thru Space like a wave. There Is no particle in photon, it is energetic Peaks in Space which sometimes act like a particle. if you swoosh a long straight rope, the wave Will travel along the rope, it Is the same with light, the rope Is Space And the wave Is photon.

A relative of mine used to work in the field of frozen food. They conducted a "crash test": If you defrost and re-freeze food several times, this mimics "decay" in a quicker way. From those results, they could figure out shelf life (without actually having to wait e.g. 27 months).

I remembered flying when they showed 2 movies on an 10h flight. On a pull down movie screen somewhere in the middle of the plane. Movies only had English language tracks which didn’t help me as a kid from a non English speaking country. My in flight entertainment was a Walkman and a Gameboy. I’m old.

Apple varieties are nearly 100% clones, we dont ever grow orchards from seed. They clone the apples trees from cuttings and grafts.

We can also do this super easily with oranges. Say you have a really nice seedless orange, you just need to cut off a growth bud and allow it to set root.

Apple breeding sometimes requires seeds. There are ways that you can breed plants without seeds using tissue culture techniques that revert adult cells into embryonic plant cells.

> The 3.5mm jack has been around since the 1960s

In stereo?

Isn’t it that they can do 4K or 120Hz?

They sold them on some flights I was on. Some flights I got them for free. Never experienced having to give them back, though I don't doubt it.

The Americans returning to the US, I assume?

We have a very accurate mathematical model of the universe and it does not have anything in it that requires negative mass.

This is a bit above eli5 but a simplfied version is because of relativity the faster you go the slower time happens. At c time stands still, if you were to go faster than c time would happen backwards. And with our current understanding of physics we dont have the slightes clue what time going backwards would look like. Also even though most people know c as the speed of light its actually not, light has diffrent speeds depending on the medium it travels through, the fastest is through a vacum which is c or the speed of causality.

A bit like chickens laying unfertilized eggs.

Yeah, having the ability to push close to a billion pixels per second to the screen is one thing. Being able to keep the world of the game updated at the same pace is a different thing.

So it does-- all things with no mass travel at the same speed.

The deeper question is why is that speed this value: 299,792,458 m/s. This speed appears to be a fundamental "limit" of the universe we live in

Simply put, Divide by zero is actually infinity. Although, mathmatically it cannot be solved (leading to calculators giving Div-by-zero error)

You're about to get a crash-course in limits.

Mentally, This can be thought of as taking any number and dividing it by smaller and smaller numbers. The smaller the divide-by number is, the more MASSIVE the answer. If you divide by the smallest number possible (Ten, divided by 0.00(...)01 with nearly infinite zeros, but still 1 at the end, you'll get a nearly Infinite number). basically infinite

10/5 = 2
10/2 = 5
10/1 = 10
10/0.1 = 100
10/0.001= 10000
10/0.00000001 = 100000000
so, continue this:
10 / 0.0000000000000000000(infinity zeros)0001 = MASSIVE 10000(infinity zero)000 number = basically infinity.

That we know of.

bro that stuff goes right through me. I'm like a stick 💀

I remember when I first discovered that as a kid. I declined to buy their "headphones" for $5 and just stuck a couple of free straws together to reach from the holes to my ears.
