from experience, the vast majority of people, outside of comparison, don't notice something is running at only 30 fps
similarly, the vast majority of people don't notice something displays at only 1080p, maybe even 720p
unless primed to look for something wrong, low fidelity is not a deal breaker

i genuinely think that perception of framerates ~40fps and up is extremely uneven in the population. i can tell the difference between 60 and 120 but i can't tell the difference between 120 and 144. most people i know can't tell the difference between 60 and 120 and some between 30 and 60
Streamer Northernlion just discovered his high refresh rate monitor was still set to 60Hz. It can happen to any of us. https://bit.ly/3OrsiFn

my advice as someone who works too much and has had demanding clients is:
just say you're unavailable for a couple hours. it's really ok.

my subway take is if you buy wifi on a flight you’re the problem. eight dollars to be bothered in the sky. i’d rather be dead.
