A 16 year old niche display tech that has seen next to no use is not the epic zinger gotcha you think it is.
If I were to cover every single niche display tech that wasn’t strictly RGB then I’d be writing a damn novel. Nearly every device that people interact with will be RGB. That is the common standard.


They only care about their shareholders and investors. They haven’t given a shit about their customers in a long long time.


No, that is incorrect. Modern displays have subpixels of red, green, and blue and they are only ever producing various brightness levels of those exact colours. In the case of an OLED or LED displays, they would be perfectly monochromatic colours. The colours do not combine as coloured paint would to produce a new colour. That isn’t how they work nor how you view them. We are looking directly at the subpixels and they are activating your rods and cones directly.
Yellow does not exist when a monitor displays a yellow colour. Your brain thinks it does because its red and green cells are being activated. This is also how you can see the colour magenta despite your monitor display red and blue, colours which are on the opposite ends of the visible spectrum. Magenta never exists during the process of displaying magenta on a screen, it only does in your brain.


Technically it doesn’t display yellow at all. In fact, yellow never exists during the entire process. It displays red and green and that activates the red and green cells in your eyes and makes your brain think it saw yellow.


A myriad of reasons, but one that often gets overlooked is that the Canada and the US use a first-past-the-post electoral system which is not used in Europe. Canada does not use proportional representation on a federal and (mostly, with exceptions) provincial level so our politics, like the US, trends towards a two party majority system where niche parties and politicians get shoved aside.
In the majority of federal riding in Canada, voting for the green party would be a waste of a vote and would result you getting zero political representation that you want. You might as well roll up your ballot sheet and smoke it instead. This results in people voting strategically to prevent certain outcomes instead of voting for what they actually want.
IMO it is the biggest failing of our political system and is going to send us down the exact same road the US is going down right now. We are already on the brink of losing the NDP entirely our federal green party is barely even a shadow in the corner.
Just a disclaimer about Ecosia: Due the fact they source their search results from Bing and Google, as per their agreement with them they do share some of your information with Google and Microslop. If privacy is a concern or if you just want to avoid those companies then I would give Ecosia a miss.


FaceID information is stored locally. You have to remember that FaceID isn’t just a picture - it’s a 3D depth scan using LIDAR. If every phone transmitted that information to Apple whenever phones were unlocked it would consume an absurd amount of data and thus money.
