Nigh all media is 16:9. What’s this obsession people have with 16:10? Isn’t it inconvenient to have black bars along your videos and pictures?

Flashback to ~2008-2009 when all laptops went from 16:10 to 16:9 and we couldn’t understand why. 16:9 was for TVs and watching movies. 16:10 was for computers to do work.
While it’s true finding 16:9 desktop backgrounds is easier, and watching movies and TVs without black bars is nice, 16:10 is much nice when actually using a computer to do work. Taskbars, toolbars, tabbars, headersbars etc take up a lot of precious vertical space, leaving less space for application content.
Sidebars are the hot new thing. Latest Microsoft apps are all starting to enable them by default
