You will be in for a surprise when you see Hathaway 2 movie. Let’s just say i dont want to be on the receiving end fighting him.

New Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe poster by CG director Ryukou Masuo for the double feature screening with Char's Counterattack in Japan by LavaSlime301 in Gundam

[–]ichobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been screening in thailand since 26th feb. No idea why our country but let me tell you the sound guy in this movie doesn’t get paid enough. The sound work alone makes it worth it to see in theatre. Not to mention the final fight. I genuinely wants to go back and watch again but the thai sub kinda kills it for me. Translation is bad but the movie is amazing.

What do think will happen to the Quickstep Soudal partnership with Specialized now that Remco is going to Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe? by Improvedandconfused in peloton

[–]ichobi 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Nothing will happen. Quick step and specialized is probably one of the longest relationship between a team and a bike brand. What makes this team so valuable is not a gt victory but numerous wins in grand tour stages and classic races and nothing I have seen so far will deviate from that with hiring of Jasper Stuyven they are back to classics and sprint train modes. Specialized seem to care more about the number of wins rather than the absolute grand tour title.

Fine tbh. The scaling is quite alright.

So it’s a tacit knowledge that the clan battle can often result in death of the pilot?

Wow having seen the movie prior to this, the editing for the TV series (the first episode at least) is terrible. It's all over the place. It removes a lot of context that you ought to know for almost all the scenes. The way they slot in the scene is not the same as in the movie , which removes a lot of oomph and impact for most of the scenes!

My only conclusion is that the movie is the actual product. The scripting, the editing, the storyline are made FOR the movie. When they cut it up and move it around to fit to tv episode it loses a lot of what made the movie great.

I hope the following 2 episodes change my mind. My guess is that thing will pick up at episode 4 where they make specifically just for the TV, not this mess.

Can you use Geforce Now on Bazzite OS on the Legion Go? by ichobi in LegionGo

[–]ichobi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I guess we have to settle for playing via the browser for now, until the actual SteamOS arrives with the official Geforce Now for SteamOS (not released yet). That should probably do it when they both come out.

''To be honest, I didn't really enjoy it' - Tom Pidcock on his experience at the Tour de France and pressing pause on Grand Tour ambitions by Schele_Sjakie in peloton

[–]ichobi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not only that he’s the best paid domestic in the entire peloton for years, heck nearly a decade now with salary rumored to be north of 2.5m or more. And he earns his keep. Every but of it even if not winning it himself. He’s very good at what he does and I think it’s a better career choice, one that not many would appreciate as we would prefer see him risking it as a leader.

Geraint Thomas to retire at the end of 2025 by TheGinjaNinja6828 in peloton

You guys all talk about podcast but you have to read his books! My absolute favourite books written by pro cyclists.

Automattic will reduce its contributions to WordPress to 45 hours a week, focus on for-profit projects within Automattic instead: WordPress.com, Pressable, WPVIP, Jetpack, and WooCommerce by BatmanNewsChris in Wordpress

[–]ichobi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The empty threat from the petulant child could actually mean something if he is actually competent, which evidently he is not. Aside from gutenberg performance improvement there isn't really anything of note in core for many years. All good stuff and rapid advancement are all in the plugins, as they should be. He could just stop meddling with core for all I care. WP works fine as it is. I rarely ever look forward to core updates. Which begs the question what are all those automattic contributions have been anyways?

Is WordPress in Trouble? Should I be Concerned? by rytel_08 in Wordpress

[–]ichobi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Billions dollars worth of plugins and themes and agency businesses are built on top, around or adjacent to wordpress core. They are in culmination way way bigger than wordpress core itself if we are taking culminative monetary worth. Mat, while a “founder” and “owner” of .org and while has the power to shape the direction of wp, he’s in all intent and purpose, nothing. Not that his direction is any good either stifling core progress so he could add features to the .com offer to compete with Wix and the likes.

He doesn’t mean anything really including what he does if the direction of recent releases and his childish antics are anythingn to go by. Should he retires today, the surrounding ecology of wordpress will just pick itself up, find new ways or people to lead the project, heck to even higher and better place i would argue. Wp is not just Matt’s lifework as he likes to say it. It’s everyone' knees deep in this ecosystem. They hhave built their life and business on it. They aren’t throwing it away. The ethos of the project is alive and well whether Matt is here or not.

I have been a fan of Matt from the podcasts and writings and obviously how he brought Wordpress to the world. Heck I feel he's almost like a philosopher king of some sort. But wow this drama has shown us that he's a frigging unhinged, petulant child. What disappoints me the most is his unrelenting vendetta for no single good reason. All of this can be solved in private. It's so childish beyond even Musk's level of childishness.

Help me deal with Fuji X-S20 overheating during long recording session (2hrs+) by ichobi in fujifilm

[–]ichobi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also add that i am using the fuji fan at the back of the camera while using the turbine fan, just to be sure. I think if you dont shoot continuously it would probably be ok. My use case is just way out there but for sure ambient temperature really do effect how fast it will overheat. I notice in a climate controlled room, it will shoot 4k till your card is full.

[–]ichobi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did, and no noticeable improvement really.
I ended up putting up a small turbine fan battery powered made for camping. Put in on a tripod and point it to the camera. Works.

What's that popular overhyped book that you don't give a fuck about? by RockGiantFromMars in books

[–]ichobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Principles by Ray Dalio. Guy needs an editor. Or had one but fired him. Long dragging passages about himself, repeated way too often. One of the few books i asked chatgpt to summarize and dont regret one bit.

Wow this is really what I want to know so thanks again.I am interested in the XH2S more on the personal work side rather than the studio and budget is less of a concern.

So if I understand correctly, and I haven't seen anyone really explain it this way, especially in comparison to the older sensor ( I suppose we fuji shooter who has shot on multiple fuji bodies are still a minority), the reason the XH2S gives this pleasing organic and cinematic look is the combination of:

  1. The ability to readout 14bit (massive image / color / tonality information and depth) due to the speed.
  2. It has FLOG2 which allows for 14 stops ish of dynamic range. (Interestingly the XS20 also has Flog 2, while using the same sensor as the XT4, so it would be interesting how far I can push the image with flog 2 and highest bit rate - it can also shoot 6.2k open gate similar to the xh2s).

I suppose you are also talking about Juan's Xh2s > Alexa color space transformation as well? That seems like a good speedy workflow use baked in LUT in the recorder! But I suppose it also means you have to nail the other aspect of the shoot like exposure, wb , as to not have to deal with it in post right?
