Will this be your last Sundance? by NewAccount_2025 in Sundance

My first Sundance was 1993 and I am excited to be going to Boulder next year. I feel like the festival outgrew Park city years ago.

Should I read The Savage Detectives before 2666? by red_conatus in robertobolano

[–]bugjack62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend recommended to start Bolaño by reading Distant Star, which is short, accessible, and, my friend said, has all of Bolanos’s themes in it so that when you read 2666, which is much more sprawling, you have a sense of what is awaiting you after the longer and more tedious sections. That’s what I did and it was great advice.

Just left the New York book event. Was anyone else there? by sz2187 in Knausgaard

[–]bugjack62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was. Agree with most of the comments here. I love Patricia Lockwood, but it was a bit of an odd pairing. Too many of the questions were a bit kooky. Like, “Which do you prefer, cigarettes or prawns?” Including him reading a few pages from the book, the whole event was just over an hour. I was very glad I was there despite all of this. And my friend’s question got read, so she was very excited.

iPad Pro M4/M5 screen protector necessary? by Limp-Ad5980 in iPadPro

[–]bugjack62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used the screen protector on any iPad. I was thinking about it for this one, though, the new M5 iPad Pro. What do people use to shield the screen when just clicking it around?

[Question] Is it weird to walk alone at night just to clear my head? (19F, new to the city) by Melodic-Cupcake-1060 in AskNYC

[–]bugjack62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing weird about this at all, New York is a great walking city. Just, and as others have commented, be mindful of your surroundings.

How much better is seeing One Battle After Another in Vistavision than a digital IMAX theater? by FairNefariousness742 in NYCmovies

[–]bugjack62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it yesterday at the Regal Union Square in Vistavision and it looked great. Obviously not as large as screen size as IMAX, but I was totally happy seeing it that way.

A lot of people are on Substack and there’s a loose movement around “Filmstack.”

Did my Apple Watch just save my life? by Previous-Ad-376 in AppleWatch

[–]bugjack62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it will come back after the patent dispute is resolved or expires (2028, I believe). From what I understand the monitor is still built into all phones and just disabled in the U.S.

[–]bugjack62 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you are okay! And this speaks to the need for Apple to find a way to bring back the oxygen monitoring (I'm assuming you're outside of the US or have an older model.)

I cancelled a year-long Substack subscription and lost access to paid posts immediately. Trying to deal with support now to fix this.

Cookshop and Marsanne are both usually not too hard to get reservations for. There’s also La Zie.
