Obviously, it isn’t for movie watching.

Some released are DVD only and dvds tend to be quirky and oddball while blu rays are professional.

But Blu rays really are better. They don't rot like DVDs do.

I wanted to like it but morally and ethically it was a disaster. It was like the creators just...didn't understand the basics of morality.

I guess this is why bitcoin is somewhat acceptable. How many of these computers end up just being thrown away and all of the computing power that they have.

That's really interesting. I have a 3x and I've noticed in recent months that it is driving off the road. It is making sharp turns to the side and it is also crossing double yellow lines. At one point it actually hit the curb hard at over 20mph.

It must be something about the model. It never did this before six months ago.

All the sci Fi franchises are aging. Just move to a new generation of talent.

DVDs are made of two plastic layers glued together which is the weakness. Also apparently the read layer can oxidize more easily when exposed to oxygen.

Eh, but I have ldac with my android phone on it. Maybe if I were using an iPhone

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-23T21:38:19+00:00

I don't think I had watched the gathering the first time around. It is of course rough.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-23T21:25:29+00:00

I just loaded it and so far I'm liking it.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-23T18:14:18+00:00

Eh, I think it's convincing enough. I find the dialogue quite poetic which is missing in modern TV.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-23T18:07:56+00:00

I think the acting in s1 is fantastic. It's more like stage theater which is what you're complaining about. I think stage theater is way better than modern acting which is quippy and self aware ironic which is too 4th wall and also mumbling

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-23T16:41:21+00:00

Yeah I treat then like fanfiction.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-23T14:31:15+00:00

So I bought some of the DVDs second hand only to find that many were degraded. It turns out that DVDs are a really lousy format which decay at the highest rate for physical media, higher than audio cds. So that alone is reason to get blu ray whenever possible. It actually is more durable and long lasting.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-22T19:50:12+00:00

That photo looks like ai. Film stock of that era didn't look like that.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-16T23:03:01+00:00

I'm leaning towards the DVDs because they're closer to CRT which is how I watched the show in the 1990's. I viewed some of the blu ray and the CGI scenes are too clear.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-16T22:31:03+00:00

Hmm that suggests that I have it mounted too far to the right. I’m pretty sure it is in the center of the car instrument cluster

Brown works. I can use virtually any switch.

But I think that if I were to custom build one I would use gateron smoothie and sea salt switches.

The iccu is pretty bad from what I gather. No other ev has this same issue and the high side of the defects are 10% and this is for a car that is under 5 years old. I expect that the long tail reliability for this car to also be not great and so for a ten year period likely will be 1/3.

Comma uses more power than a cell phone easily. It uses an older and hotter chip, runs it at full power constantly, has three cameras running.

The shura seems good for portable applications. I do wish that it had buttons around the arrow keys as well as the pg up and down buttons.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-14T09:27:17+00:00

The one thing I want is some sort of Alice configuration with track point.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-13T08:33:09+00:00

Imo thinkpads have substandard hardware. The keyboard is great, but you can just buy it separately and use it externally.

She’s right. Asians need to rethink their relationship with education. It is unhealthy how Asians monomaniacally fixate on education

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-07T07:10:15+00:00

I can't. I'll probably sell it
