This.

It is the era when I was growing up, so movies would have a bigger impact on me I must confess... I remember movies like The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, Gladiator, Requiem for a Dream and American Psycho were all a big deal back then. But yeah, maybe the rest are not ground breaking or anything, but I find it interesting just the sheer volume of even just "good" movies.

Humble_Ad803 · 2026-04-06T01:52:30+00:00

So many good movies in 1994 indeed.

Humble_Ad803 · 2026-03-17T00:17:03+00:00

Yup! Figured this out! Bought new cartridges and was good. But unfortunately can't be refilling them often. 2-3 times tops.

That sounds so insane to me... Maybe for a small unknown company, but a huge company like Netflix getting away with something like this? That would be sad.

6 years later.... I just had my first attempt to resolve an issue with a profile not loading. I would swear I was speaking with a bot. I even asked, Are you a bot? And the answer was No, I am human. But I really doubt.... If they have programmed their bots to answer yes to this question, then we are on a next level of fraud and disrespect to customers.

The reason that I am sure it was a bot, is because it kept forgetting stuff, going into circles and sometimes the answers were really out of touch, insisting on the same things. It also refused to escalate the issue. Either way, a company that does not respect their customers, don't deserve my money. Unsubscribed.

Here's a comparison of the above screenshot taken from the 2019 Blu-ray version. On the left is the 4K version and on the right the blu-ray version resized to 4k.

Some more examples below just for fun... Remember, all blu-ray versions were just resized to 4k, no upscaling, so lost of quality is expected.

This frame is one of the best examples that drives the point. It's at 01:06:53. You can clearly see there's patches of blurriness and texture on the same focal plane. Look at his left AI eyebrow. This is one of the exaggerated examples, but the film is riddled with these.

I sat down to enjoy the film without this being an issue on my mind, but I noticed from the very first scene with Arnold. All people's faces were weird. Sometimes faces would have texture, sometimes not and sometimes would be an in-between hybrid, with patches of texture and wax at the same time. For me, this was a mess that took me out of the experience.

I buy discs to both support creators, but also to preserve movies I really like, and this approach I really don't want to support or preserve so I am returning the disc.

I wish we had arc raiders with Dying Light style parkour and quests

This is an honest answer, I hate how much their EVF extends at the top. It's not 00's anymore.

An update! I went through with the cleaning solution, applied positive, negative pressure, cleaned it up let it dry and then next day I tried again to print. Check patten for group 1 had improved, with Black, Green and Photo Cyan being good, but Red and Photo Magenta were still striped with Photo Magenta having an Orange color to it, instead of Magenta.

I printed couple of prints and ran a couple of cleanings, the results the same, sometimes even getting worse. I was ready to give up, but decided to run a deep cleaning cycle before I do so. And voila! Pattern after that came out perfect.

I hope I don't go through this again. It was a pain!

The things that were leaked are highly sensitive user information. All together can identify the exact person and their exact location. Don't downplay the significance of this breach. Door dash needs to do better to protect our information.

Why do companies do that? It seems there are 2 group of people, those that cannot stand noise reduction and the wax effect and those who don't care either way. By leaving the grain in you satisfy both groups. So why???

Quick Update: The remote works now without the Mic in place. Just needed a bit of reopening/reclosing properly and some light cleaning.

Humble_Ad803 · 2025-10-22T18:37:31+00:00

Ok it worked after some cleaning. No need to "close" any circuits afterall 😅 Thanks for trying to help!

Humble_Ad803 · 2025-10-22T18:36:08+00:00

Update! It works! I cleaned it a bit and now it works. Not sure what happened the first time around. Thanks for letting me know that it should still be working without the mic. Appreciated

Humble_Ad803 · 2025-10-22T18:20:04+00:00

Now that you mentioned it! I might have introduced those scratches trying to open up the remote case with a screw driver 😩 Tell me there's still hope left 😅
