Hopefully the Chinese won't ban their companies from selling to US companies because we'll be screwed... specially because US companies design things to break fast.

Even if you would film it in 480p, I could re-encode it in 4k... Blu-rays used to do this, not sure if they still do (I don't get physical media anymore)...
In this case, the zoom might matter more then anything else...

My favorite is https://ns.reddit.com ... and I use the Redirector Firefox addon to redirect all reddit links to this domain ... but of course that probably won't work for much longer

Re:Microplastics found in 93% of bottled water tested in global study

I test my bottled water and it has ~4ppm of stuff in it... my well water has ~400ppm of stuff... I would rather drink the purest one... I could buy a reverse osmosis system to purify my water but I would not be saving money.
The people in my city that have city water often complain about cloudy water, so it's not any better (maybe worst).
