"Real-time graphics" is typically used in gaming to differentiate between pre-rendered content and content that is rendered on the fly. It's not related to a 1-1 time scale of the content it's displaying. So, my assumption here is that they mean it's actually being rendered as you are using it and at an acceptable framerate, as opposed to the need for it to be simulated, rendered, and played back as a video.

Henry Posner from B&H directly addressed this in a comment back in 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12187917

Yep, went to CC, transferred to a school a great computer engineering program and saved a ton of money. My mental health got the best of me in high school and I almost definitely couldn't have gotten accepted anywhere if I hadn't gone the community route, so I am super happy it worked out the way it did.

Next January you should get an audio or video recording. I'd love to hear that!

I am definitely not a doctor. However, I have a friend diagnosed with aphantasia and this is almost exactly how she described it to me.

Are you perhaps describing phosphenes?

Hmm. I think that's interesting. I don't agree with you, but let's take your statement as fact.

What's wrong with that?

The content itself is generally him explaining from a pilot's point of view situations that have happened, like crashes or ATC issues, or responses to clickbait misinformation from other places on social media. His responses tend to be reasonable and enjoyable and for people who "aren't into aviation," maybe his videos will make them more interested. He has never made it about himself, the guy got promoted to Captain and didn't (and hasn't?) even mentioned it. Even his avatar and banner have him at 3 bars. It seems to me that he genuinely cares about aviation and informing people who aren't familiar with it. I feel like he brings a lot of value.

If you're not into it's fine, but I think it's a bit unfortunate you feel the need to play gatekeeper.

74gear[1] on YouTube is a 747 Captain. It's a great aviation channel in general if anyone is interested in that stuff. He had mentioned two things that really illustrated to me your point a while back:

A) Stuff breaks on planes. All the time. They are complex machines, but they typically have so many redundancies that unless there is a completely catastrophic failure, they are still perfectly safe to fly. An example: a starter is out in one of the engines, but there are four starters for an engine. Once the issue is known, if they can't fix it where they are currently at, they will do an empty flight (well, crew only) to the next maintenance hub and get it fixed. Before a plane even gets off the ground they have a checklist and do their best to determine if the plane is airworthy and safe to fly or not. If they feel the plane is unsafe, they can refuse to fly it. It is important to them to make sure the plane is safe to fly because:

B) They also don't want to die.

That last bit really hit hard for me for some reason, it's hilarious but at the same time eye opening. I think that I just never really thought of it in that way before. Maybe it's just me.

I believe they were saying that the rumors saying Red was going to be acquired Canon not Nikon, due to the fact Red cameras use a Canon mount, were incorrect.

Were also called mosquito hawks or mosquito eaters in Southern California. Looking back, grandparents were actually from Oklahoma, so I now have no idea if it was regional or just us. Daddy Long Legs are Cellar Spiders here though. For sure.

Well that's kinda ironic seeing as they hurting the environment and making groundwater unsafe to drink in their quest to do so [1]

I worked selling watches for a time in my life and we were instructed that every watch on display had to be set and stopped at 10:10. Looking that up it seems to not have been specific to just the company I worked for.[1] So, counter-intuitively, a store selling clocks at the mall might not have the time displayed either. :)
