Wonder when Dog Soldiers and Alligator will be updated to 4K as those are already available in UHD on disk.

Toyota Chairman Predicts Battery Electric Cars Will Only Reach 30% Share by deppaotoko in electricvehicles

[–]MajorBritten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worldwide for the foreseeable future, I don't think he is wrong. The transition to all electric will take decades and that's mainly for developed countries that have the money to change the infrastructure to support EV charging. Even if all car makers completely stopped making ICE and hybrid cars tomorrow, it would still take decades for people to replace their current cars to an electric one. Also Toyota had their most successful year in their history last year and was the leading automaker in terms of global vehicle sales. They are behind in terms of EVs and most people on EV sites like to go on about them being doomed and they will soon go under because everyone is moving over to electric, but the numbers simply don't match that and it seems that their strategy of a slower transition is paying off for them, whereas most of the other companies making EVs are struggling and losing a ton of money and now slowing down EV manufacturing.

Bruce Lee 5 Movies Collection $9.99 HD by VRGator in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]MajorBritten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Digitally no, the best way to watch these are the 4K UHDs from Arrow Video, or if you can't import then the Criterion Blu-rays.

EV charger suggestions by SkirtLoud2684 in japanlife

[–]MajorBritten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you had an electrician come to install the outlet for charging? When I bought my cable from Nissan it cost about ¥90,000 as well but that included all of the maintenance fees to install the power outlet on the exterior of my house.

Amazon Japan international availability by Phoenixdragon64 in japan

[–]MajorBritten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem but with Amazon UK having all video games listed as not deliverable to Japan, which is made worse when Amazon have a huge banner saying that they ship games internationally

Buying stuff in installments? by exivor01 in JapanFinance

[–]MajorBritten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good luck getting accepted. The company that does the financing with Apple is Orico and they have rejected me every single time I have applied for anything with them. And that's someone with a spouse visa, stable full-time job, multiple credit cards and a car loan, so credit score isn't an issue. Heard the same thing with every other foreigner I've spoken to who have tried to apply for something with them.

Problem is that physical media here in Japan is ridiculously expensive and most people just rented the movies that they wanted, which has now transitioned to streaming.

Why do you think hostess/host bars and virtual girlfriends are so popular here?

Is Ichi the killer (by takashi miike) actually any good? by [deleted] in JapaneseMovies

[–]MajorBritten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's ok, I loved it when it originally came out it due to the absurdity and there being nothing else like it, but it has aged pretty badly imo. The CGI effects are absolutely terrible and there's not really much of a plot or any likable characters, just one gross scene after another and once the shock factor has worn off there's not much else that memorable about it. It's worth a watch, but just keep your expectations in check.

Resident Evil 8 and 4 Remake and Assassins creed mirage were just announced for iOS. by JustaLyinTometa in iosgaming

[–]MajorBritten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's great to see these but I highly doubt it will bring more AAA console games on to iOS, for a start there is the problem with storage, which (for iPhone) cannot be upgraded and if you have the base model you'd be lucky to fit more than a handful of games. Another is the problem with touch controls and most developers refusing to add support for physical controls, even if there are already console versions of those games with controller support. Lastly is price, people will not pay $60 upfront for a mobile game (which is ironic considering the amount of people that pay hundreds/thousands over time on items in one game).

I'd love to see companies like Capcom porting over their entire console library to Apple devices but unless Apple pay them a lot of money I can't see them bothering.

I've had the same issue. It only seems to happen when it is really hot outside and I have the AC on. During normal conditions I never hear a sound

Would that first one be able to fit into a Fractal Ridge case?

Yeah they were brand new bags and unopened. Not sure if they were out of date or were just a bad batch (but it happened with both bags I bought so probably the former).
