computer advert in 2018, truth in advertising version:
"stalk your ex on Facebook, 37% faster"
"Cat videos on youtube look great in Retina full screen"
"Your stolen music files sound fab thanks to deeper bass response from the stereo speakers"
"chat with your dumb friends for hours, with a new longer-lasting battery"
"call in sick without removing your phone from its case, thanks to bluetooth."
Other than dying batteries, or physical damage (broken trackpad/keyboard) I seriously wonder why the average person needs anything but the most basic laptop when a $99 android phone is in all measures more powerful than a 10 year old laptop but we're doing basically the same activities: surf the web, chat, email. Very, very few people create content. Most consume.
YouTube videos don’t serve 4K on Safari. When they do, it’s over Chrome which is using 10W more powerr, which over entire world equals power use of a small country...
Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake have full hardware VP9 decoding, so all told you'll probably be using more energy playing H.264 in Chrome if you're on a Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake processor.
Yes, been using that. Problem is that YouTube quietly removed 1440p h264 videos too! Used to be my indicator that I can turn off h264ify for a minute to view 4k content...
