Look at a mobil phone from 20 years ago and compare to what we have now. The size, weight, capability changes. What's important is to have the core concept fine tuned and to keep the development going forward.

It could just go straight to voice synthesis if they really wanted it to. With modern deep fake tech, it would even sound like him.

Yeah, this is it. It's also the basis for future weapon control. I'm surprised the US didn't keep pursuing it.

And apparently you can see some “interesting” things overhead with the good NVG’s not available to civilians.

A Google Glass-like device with a small lumbar battery pack might work.
I’m a nobody and I can come up with better ideas. Why aren’t people paying me for my ideas? It’s a constant brainstorming session here upstairs.

Hell. Google Glass would probably work better.

> You are the one banging on about "perceived" things - here is Notebookcheck, telling you that despite how the subpixel array looks, the image is not grainy.
Lol, you yourself kept going on about how "perception" is snake oil, so I gave you an objective method to prove your dumb point.
If matte is not the cause of graininess, then there will be matte panels with equally sharp subpixels like there are for most glossy panels. All your excuses whining about "subpixels don't matter" are just that, excuses.
You keep harping about objective standards, I gave you an objective way to prove it. You didn't.
> So? People love sticking to established lingo even if it's wrong.
😂😂😂
Notebookcheck and "sticking to established lingo".
"Is it me that's wrong? No, it's literally anybody and everybody else including reviewers and manufacturers that are wrong."
> I did, but you ignored it because it's inconvenient.
Lol. Perception isn't "snake oil" anymore?
> LOL no it doesn't. This is how it looks outdoors. Half the screens is obscured with the reflection. And here is the Acer - not a hint of glare.
And you can already see it being all washed out to hell. Perception was only "snake oil", was it?
> But... it isn't.
Uh huh. Someone really didn't watch the video. Probably was too inconvenient for their worldview.
> ... how did you come to this conclusion?
From your logic. deltaE and colorspace don't depend on ambient light, and you keep claiming that's all there is to perception, so it shouldn't matter where I place the colorimeter, right? Any distortion should be snake oil, right?
> Can link you dozens of threads on reddit where people keep droning on about this. Here is the latest one.
So the "popular argument" is one that is downvoted to hell and the rest of the thread is complaining about how there's a severe lack of 1440p 24-inch monitors? Do you know what "popular" means?
> So we've established from the article that it's a spectrum rather than binary.
Lol, no. The "spectrum" is the amount of haze the matte coating is put through, with the lighter hazes coming with less graininess and diffusion but more glare. Almost as if glossy is the end point of that spectrum.
Don't try to pretend your stupid assumptions are valid because "spectrum".
> I explicitly mentioned that the "stripped" panel without the outer layer isn't the same as an all-out glossy panel with a glass layer
Nope, that's something you started wailing on once your "glossy is just matte with glass on top" nonsense failed to prove itself.
> My argument still stands: to create an actual glossy panel, you need a layer of glass/hard plastic on top.
Are you seriously thinking there's no glass on Dell Ultrasharps or Asus ProArts? Are those panels magically glossy now? Oh wait, you did call the matte version of Apple's monitor glossy as well. Guess there's no saving.
No matter the delusion you keep telling yourself, glossy displays do not have anything extra over their screens than matte displays do. Samsung Display showing off "thinnest" laptop panel, and yet it is glossy. One would think they'd be going for matte if matte displays magically have a layer less than glossy displays do.
> Like MacBooks, smartphones, etc do. If you don't have that, your screen isn't glossy, end of story.
LG Gram has no glass and the plastic is flexible. Guess it's matte now, lol.
> Except that's not "perception", that's literally a material with different qualities used and the article you linked states so.
Same deltaE, same colorspace, same white balance, same contrast measured. What now?

Exactly, next thing you know they’re sitting in the back of the ________ (insert MRAP of choice) collecting Fucking dust and taking up space.
Edit: but they have a serial number so of course they have to get inventoried.

It looks like they have to mime their words to the screen. Pretty cool still, no need for all that voice/gesture accessibility apps or guide programs.

Also, you know this shit is gonna blue screen when you need it most. Then you tear it off and it's flopping around behind you, still attached to the battery pack that's strapped on somewhere.

If Microsoft paid me $100,000 per year to tell them when ideas are fucking stupid, they'd have saved millions in the first year alone 🤷🏼♀️ they ain't humble enough for that tho.

Too many decision makers, forget the people they make decisions for. It's really annoying. At some point, the decision makers are just a waste of money and time and it would be better of getting rid of them completely

Can someone ELI5 this for me: how does sticking a wire in someone's brain actually communicate their thoughts to a computer to type?

You’re missing the point of the Military-industrial complex. To spend copious tax dollars on civilian infrastructure would be socialism! We must support our tech corporations! And if not financially, then physically by wearing heavy NODs that are inefficient.
See also, Catch-22 and Milo Minderbinder’s M&M Enterprises. You must eat the cotton for the good of the syndicate!

Basically it's many very small wires that can pick up signals from small clusters of neurons in a specific area.
The idea is that the activity in the neurons when you think "move hand left" is different to when you think "move hand right". So once it's installed, you can get the person to think something, record the brain activity, and then you build a map of what brain activity matches what actions.
