In general, what is the highest frequency that can be carried over a wire?
I know it can do these resolutions in practice because I have personally operated CRTs at 4000x3000 resolution in the early 2000s. This could be considered "the 4:3 of 4K." It was not done on fancy equipment or high-end monitors. Analog stuff really could just go to really high resolutions and refresh rates with above-average, but typical stuff.
CRTs simply respond to waveforms for red, green, blue, vertical sync, and horizonal sync. That's it. If you want more horizonal pixels, make your scan lines denser. If you want more vertical pixels, add more scan lines. Want a faster refresh rate? Simply run all the signals faster.
There is no hard upper limit to it. With digital signals, there are throughput limits per spec due to bit rates, but with analog, there are no bits. Resolutions like 40k x 30k are theoretically possible. The difficult parts are rendering the signal at these high frequencies, and being able to meaningfully display them. The VGA connection itself has no limits.
It's analog. It always has.
Wow, what a horrible setup.
This is my opinion, too. Their "autopilot" feature is a glorified driving aid. It's not self-driving. It's supposed to help with driver fatigue, and you're supposed to keep both hands on the wheel. If it makes a mistake, that's okay, because you're driving the car, right?
Traditional cruise control without radar will maintain the speed you asked and it won't stop for emergency vehicles, but we don't blame that. Even though the "autopilot" feature does more automation, you're supposed to drive the car in an identical fashion with identical attention compared to traditional cruise control.
But safety is still what matters first. If you're sending a freeway-speed land missile into motorcyclists and police cars, I don't care if you were driving a 90s Civic or a car with automated driving features. The car hit someone. Fix that problem first, then figure out who to blame later.
I'm my option, until we have cars that are guaranteed to function as a completely autonomous experience, and the manufacturer of the car doesn't tell you to keep your hands on the wheel, you're still driving it. It's your responsibility. You can still steer, brake, change lanes, evade, etc. That's on you. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who thinks otherwise might as well blame their heated seats or radio station.
I understand that Tesla would be improving their software, and I agree with this, too. It's not great that they are fudging things quite a bit by pushing the self-driving rhetoric. They should focus on this, and it should be improved. But I still think that negligent drivers are at fault.
On a side note, I would appreciate it if it was opt-in. Ask when the profile is being set up. Don't be sneaky about it. I understand that this means less metrics for Mozilla, but consent is more important, imo.
Yeah, Ubiquiti has the "great at most things with a point-and-click UI" market down pat. Although, personally, I don't really care about webapp UIs and such for networking gear. Give me a man page and configuration file, and I'll get down to it.

This is what's important. If you don't enable power saving in some fashion, your hardware will always be "on" at full specs. Even if the machine isn't actually being used, it's still powering everything to be ready to jump at any opportunity to process something quickly without ramping down.
TLP has pretty excellent default settings. Simply turning it on will likely make your battery life go 2-3x longer than without it being on, and you will have about 80% of the performance from a UX perspective. And if you want to crunch numbers faster on battery, you can tune TLP or turn it off temporarily.
Oh there is! Thank you!
"Features" USB C 🤔

You're right, and this was absolutely a thing. Video cards could produce whatever they were capable of, and monitors could display whatever they were also capable of. You could also push resolutions and refresh rates to monitors that was beyond the monitors' specs, and you would also risk damaging the monitor by doing this.
You don't need to believe me. That's your choice. I had friends that could do the same. This was with a Matrox card and a 21" Acer CRT. The display was nearly impossible to read, and the color mask broke up the individual pixels too much, anyway.
Digital video has upper limits in its specs. This is the whole point of this conversation.
A bit of incorrect information here. There is no "unshielded 3.5mm spec." Good cables have shields, but not all. XLR doesn't have the ability to transport higher frequencies because it's balanced, or "much better audio." On paper, unbalanced audio is better for short runs because there is more opportunity for XLR signals to have extremely minute signal quality issues due to the hot and cold signal mirroring, but it's so small that it doesn't matter.
