This one was really cool. I didn’t expect the wood to actually stop a real bullet and it’s insane how much time and resources were spent on this video.

That sounds horrible. What about this stupid standard takes this fucking long? Is it not improvable by current tech?

I absolutely agree. For me the most lacking part is media creation software. Neither Adobe nor Affinity apps are available and no, GIMP is not a Photoshop replacement despite many users claiming it. The non-destructive workflow is severely lacking.

I think it depends on your setup. I prefer to have no cables on the desk. There’s already a switch and a gaming PC, so the risk of cable clutter is high. Whatever I can eliminate, I do.

The battery in the Trackpad is also slowly dying and it appears to be a glue sandwich, so there’s no easy way to replace it. So whenever I gotta charge it every few weeks, I need to dig up my lightning cable just for that. I’d prefer to replace the Trackpad entirely, especially if a new generation offers more features or other hardware advantages.

That’s so upsetting. I’d love to replace my Magic Trackpad for one without a lightning port but for some reason they don’t refresh their peripherals.

At least the NHS is getting the funding it needs now …right? Oh.

I would have loved this option like 10 years ago – when it wasn't clear what a toxic company facebook is.

But adding previously unseen stuff would be changing/redirecting the movie/show.

You could see this with The Wire 16:9 remake. They rescanned the original negatives that were shot in 16:9 but framed and cropped to 4:3. As a result the framing felt a bit off and the whole thing felt a bit awkward / amateurish.

To be fair, I care less about the reduction in length and more about not having to click on an ad infested site.

One way this plan could fall through is if LLM tech progresses to the extent that free and open source copilots, run locally, can give result that are just as good.

MS might be in trouble then.

Performance is not great but apparently it’s not optimized at all as of right now.
