There’s a fun half-true story that Sony and Philips originally picked the capacity of audio CDs (74 minutes) based on fitting a particular recording of Beethoven’s 9th on them.
This smells a bit like they realized that the app wouldn’t be approved if it required mouse and keyboard, and that developing full touch support would take a prohibitively long amount of time. I bet Play Store is looser around touch requirements.
This is where I YET AGAIN encourage people, especially creators, to have, develop and actively maintain their own websites where people can find you, away from the social media sites you don't own and/or can't control and/or whose discoverability algorithms are at the whim of billionaire weirdos.
All of this seems particularly odd since there will be no components left for the end-user devices actual people would use to access the AI that the data centers are supposed to enable.
And also feel the need to move on to a *second* forbidden tool when the first one wouldn’t summarize a 700-word blog post for me… (this is so disappointing because I did trust his writing til all of this!)
Sad to hear! I have two of his prints hanging in my home office; they were hanging in my dad’s home office before that.
…David Blaine was requesting… what?
Oh another thing: if you have a Zigbee controller hooked up to Home Assistant, you can actually drop the Hue bridge entirely and pair the bulbs directly to HA!
Inovelli makes some great switches, which work with Home Assistant and other systems. Those switches in particular have a “smart bulb” mode that keeps the current to the light on all the time, and just behaves like a button for automation.
I have questions for the person seeing this movie alone at 9:40
a fish restaurant with an enormous picture window called Sea and Be Seen
does this imply that the name of the shark is Jaws…?
one of my favorite moments from this era is when Steve Jobs introduced podcasts in iTunes, calling them “TiVo for radio”
I wonder if this is meant to be a counter across *all* of these machines? But then maybe the number is too low…
Their philosophy is also great: “File over app”. You’re just working with plain old Markdown files, so switching apps down the road is relatively trivial.
Obsidian (with Obsidian Sync, since you’re open to paying an inexpensive subscription). Plugins can fill any native gaps like transcription, OCR, etc.
This is a great piece. But also, your prose is always so nice to read. Love your style. ✌️
Do you think there’s evidence that *all* of the VFX shots are missing? Because if it’s only some… I’m worried that Lionsgate doesn’t even have them done at all yet. 😬 (Either way HBO should pull this whole thing until it’s fixed.)
You probably know this, but the other related re-release examples you cited all related to changing aspect ratios. This one's different, since Mad Men was always presented in 16:9. A 4K/HDR re-release of the show from the negatives *should* be genuinely terrific!
I was dismayed to learn that this isn't on Spotify www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dguv...
If this was shot on film and originally mastered in HD, they’d have had to go back to the negatives and recreate the VFX (or upscale the original). Seems like this shot slipped through. As @tvaziri.com points out, this isn’t a case of cropping for a new aspect ratio, since it was originally 16:9.
Not to my knowledge. It's 10 comedy vignettes loosely inspired by each of the commandments, "tied together" by a host (Paul Rudd) introducing each segment and also leaving his wife for Jessica Alba.
The Ten (2007)
an ad for the new series “welcome to derry” with the tagline “go back to where IT all began“, except somehow, they highlighted the word “to“ instead of “it“
"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"
"no problem boss. i'm on it"

Well, shoot. The NSG-MR5U has Bluetooth, but the NSG-MR1 seems not to. (It also doesn't seem to have any LEDs whatsoever, so who knows if it's even turned on.)
Holy crap, I don’t know how I missed this. I’ll let you know if I manage to get it paired to my steam deck. :)
It’s a dream! Sculpted back side! Optical cursor sensor on the top right! But I’m pretty sure it’s using some kind of proprietary RF signal that nothing else can receive. It’s such a shame.
This thing was my favorite remote ever, and I can’t figure out a way to use it with a computer rather than the Google TV box it was made for www.cornerstoreremote.com/products/son...
