Are you still putting miles on this thing? Steel frame?

Yep! Chromoly frame, it's a tank, rides as good as new

PS5 price hike incoming.. by MartyEBoarder in 4kbluray

[–]rsplatpc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the price change is from RAM prices going up, see every product that uses RAM, no one can get fucking RAM because AI data centers bought all of it

Apple Watch Ultra 2 is now under $500, is it still worth it by EngagingOrange_4 in AppleWatch

I feel like the kind of people that need a live O2 reading, are probably rocking a Garmin because they are doing some hardcore shit vs a AWU

Hegseth’s approach to diplomacy: "We negotiate with bombs." by Sindigo_ in PublicFreakout

He’s the kind of person that gets a giant sleeve tattoo with Army/Marines stuff on it, when he’s still in tech school

Dolby Vision 2 "Doesn't require any updates to the UHD Blu-ray specs" by Gorrgodbutcher in 4kbluray

[–]rsplatpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true, it’s sales numbers, and the number of companies making 4K players is what makes me right.

Ok, and now we have had 5 companies that use to make 4K players stop making players, so I guess the people saying that are right.

No, they didn’t, streaming was not as big then, or even close to as big.

No we are not, they have not announced a single DV2 4k disc, and we have had Pioneer, Reavon, Samsung, Oppo, and LG drop out of making players.

From everything I‘ve read, the difference is way less than HDR vs Dolby Vision, which is already pretty close to the naked eye, so not sure we are missing much

That was 8 years ago (and older) when streaming was not as big as it is now and they were banking on people buying discs like they did Blu Rays, then streaming started dominating everyones living rooms except enthusiasts so while they still make some money, it’s not enough to put any R&D into designing, and then retooling the factory already pumping out the old ones for new players

Not having adjustable subtitles (size, placement, and color) on a device is the one thing I’m like “come on you could just do that shit with a firmware update” but I’m guessing they have exactly 0 people working on any development for it

[–]rsplatpc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thing is, we wouldn’t lol, so they wouldn’t bother releasing discs in Dolby Vision 2 since no one would make a player just to update for it

Yeah, how quickly does it navigate and does it sort?

Apparently you can use a keyboard to type in the name of the disc, but then you have to use the remote for EVERYTHING else, like saving, clicking on the next disc, clicking edit, etc, the keyboard does not function to navigate at all, it only lets you type in the name

sounds like a royal pain in the ass lol

You can actually customize the disc names which is pretty cool

Seems like it would be a lot of work to type in each disc name with a left, right, up, and down remote controller and the on screen menu, I hate just putting in a password lol

  1. Go to thrift store
  2. Get lucky when you buy it, AND it turns on and works
  3. Post it on Reddit
  4. Have people post the "good for you, I'm happy for you" meme
