Why is it 8k and not 16k? I thought it was proportional to the logarithm of the number of pixels.

We went from 1920 wide to 3840 to 7680.

A step of 4x give or take in number of total pixels each time.

It’s a logical progression?

But either way, 8K is already pushing the limits of what today’s video transports can carry. 16K is currently impossible.

Uncompressed 8K/60Hz requires >64% of the max BW of DisplayPort 2.0 (which is not even on the market yet.) That’s why he needed 2 DP cables.

I believe it's the result of the semi-random crystallization of the effective consensus about what word to use. Partly also what feels like "the next one after".

It's not really the job of facebook to do anything or care about anyone. It's on you and me to force them to do anything.

Don't get me wrong, I will absolutely blame the corporate apologists when shit goes bad. It's assholes like you that create an abusive environment for the rest of us. Your hands are soaked with blood.

Judging by the US, speaking up doesn't matter at all and can only hurt you and your family.
