My missus insisted we watch it, and I found it aggressively mediocre.

My Spotify list was mostly Poppy and The Warning.

The HDCP encryption is why it’s used.

They do, they have like a daily article debunking shit.

Wait until this shit starts an actual war.

IIRC, most of the money they make is fees on the stores.

Less spending on credit cards to at least partially balance that or just full tilt debt spirals?

Ban it. Block it. Fine it. Lock it.

Harder, better, faster, stronger.

If you think this picture should be a movie, then good news. It’s called Mountainhead and it’s from the guy who wrote the really very good Succession.

Mountainhead isn’t as good as that (and seems like it was written quite fast as it’s about the current AI bullshit), but by fuck does it get their vibe and language dead on.

Yeah, the way I see it if what you’re looking at is real, it might look alright. Sport, etc.

For anything with special effects, it looks like unfinished behind the scenes footage. I saw The Hobbit in high frame rate and 3D, and let me tell you, it just looked like Martin Freeman in rubber feet. Although in fairness the whole film was gash even in standard 24 fps.

Reddit already ruined Reddit. The AI slop is just the broken glass in the turd.

It is all called “bullshitted pixels” and I’m having none of it.

Yeah, but only PC owners can have it so they think it’s good.

Yes. Motion smoothing. It’s like kerning or the Wilhelm scream. Once you notice it, you’ll hate it.

It makes the slow panning forests and splashy paint videos in Currys look nice, but it makes movies and TV shows look terrible.

I don’t know why they’d think I’d capture 600MB/s of uncompressed video though.

Since the torrent sites are crammed with full quality 4k Bluray remuxes and WebDLs direct from Amazon, there’s clearly easier and better ways of doing this than putting encryption in a cable.

What a waste of money.

I just upload videos of me shitting directly to German porn sites, and then read the comments to see if I have anything to worry about.

The worst naming decision since Mole Station Nursery got a web domain with no hyphens.

This is why motion smoothing is turned on by default on most 4K TVs. It’s the only way most people can see any difference.

This was a thing for a bit in the Xbox 360 era, but disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Wasn’t there some Nvidia thing that also tried to do this on PC?

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_3D_Vision

Allowed it with any DirectX game apparently.

At one of those empty tables

Unless there was an exploit in the browser itself, you’re probably fine.

Windows being randomly slow is just standard Windows behaviour. When you look in task manager, there’s like 200 things it just runs all the time.

Back in the day I’d run Malwarebytes free checker. It doesn’t run all the time, it’s a one time scan.
