Watching a boring movie with the in-laws (Being the Ricardos) so I took the opportunity to look up how many Christmases there have been. The first one, according to Google, was on December 25, 336 AD, which makes today the 1,686th Christmas. So here’s a tree for every Christmas:
So after tweeting last week that iPhone 13 seemed disappointing and I wasn’t gonna get it, a bunch of people kept telling me the jump from 60 to 120 Hz was actually a big deal. So I went to the store and checked one out and caved and upgraded. Turns out 60 > 120 Hz is almost…
…as big a difference as non-retina > retina display. Just immediately made my old screen feel a decade old. Scrolling at 120 Hz is silky smooth and looks to the eye like you’re pushing a physical object around…
People who don’t find new tech gadgets to be sexually attractive should probably ignore me and not bother upgrading but for those who do, you might want to bite the bullet and go for it.
