You say that but doesn't VR say that 90hz is the bare minimum needed to have a smooth experience? Cause I have a VR headset and I can definitely tell when it's just at 90hz

Why is it important an 8K Tv? What does it do that a 4k doesn't?

Lol no. But that doesn't stop people from feeling like they can. We don't need 144hz monitors either, human flicker-fusion threshold is like 60hz. Anything over 90 makes very little difference for our eyes.
Edit: your eyes aren't seeing those higher refresh rates, they're just seeing a crispy picture and less blur as the frames change. The way frames are drawn by games make this difference, not the monitor itself per se. Gamers always take this news hard for some reason, I guess because of marketing or something? The difference you see isn't what you think it is. Your eyes physically don't work that way.
Basically, if there is a LOT of change between frames in what needs to be drawn from frame to frame (like spinning around 360⁰), the change between those frames appears muddier as they are quickly drawn across the monitor. Higher fps/hz just spread this muddiness across more frames, so each frame looks slightly crisper than it would otherwise.
Your eyes do not see more frames in a second just because you're playing at a high frame rate.

Welp, here shortly the EU won’t have enough electricity to run a transistor ration, so it’s kinda moot.

I'm pretty sure it only applies to the standard mode so it doesn't really matter. Just have it ship in eco and if someone is tech savy enough to know about picture quality they will change it.

Can anyone see any 8K vs 4K difference with normal vision?

I'm sorry but should consumers really care? Energy efficiency regulators are trying to impose standards to benefit society. Vendors can either innovate to meet those regulations or just not sell in the marketplace. The world is dying and manufactures want to sell even hotter color boxes.

8k is stupid and unnecessary.

Post the github or open-source code and I'm game. Otherwise hard pass.

I backed a few products there, from fountain pens to books, and most of them were Chinese stuff that I found on Aliexpress after. I would suggest backing anything on kickstarter unfortunately

I backed Shovel Knight and 3d printed minis on KS, I got both of those plus helped launch those companies which have continued to make products. It's a bit like saying the internet is full of scams, yes it is, but if you know how to avoid them you need not fear.

Could really do with a better looking design. It looks like someones first design on their new 3d printer.
Open source smart assistant is a really cool endeavor though.

true. but if you look at past litigation as well its always Google and not Apple although Apple has absolute control of your device while in Android, we are in total control even if Google does push its own software - like carriers and Samsung does too.
