It was meant as a joke. Both the YouTuber in question and myself enjoy the film. He was commenting on how it feels to watch the movie if you haven’t read the book.
That stikes me as an awfully cynical take, not everyone was around for the original release. And being alone, watching a compressed stereo stream at home is just not the same experience. I’m curious how you might celebrate the 40th anniversary differently?
lol nice edit 🤦♂️ The theatre experience has been vastly degraded since Covid. The price to fun experience ratio is out the fucking window. You can watch it from home with some friends or rent out a damn screening room and have a whole night of movies. You can download the full quality film and have zero issues. Also most people who give a shit about movies have sounds bars or full surround sound. Which have better audio balance than theatres.
Don’t need to get swept up in a marketing gimmick to enjoy old movies.
I have no idea, but in defense of the devs, there’s a reason they are calling it version 0.19 and not 0.5 or “1.0” There’s a lot to do, but look at projects like Mastodon a year ago vs today and they’ve made some dramatic improvements in terms of polish and usability.
Personally I think it’s a good thing Lemmy isn’t more popular right now, because there’s no way it could absorb Reddit levels of users in a healthy way.
Hopefully people who browse lemmy via browser are finding a way to read this page. This post was failing to load for me even while logged out for some reason. Luckily I saw it from a mobile app and knew to clear cache/cookies, because otherwise I might have just assumed it was down.
We also have a Mastodon PSA up - unfortunately, with the post being difficult to access, there’s not too much else we can do - I ran into the same issue, myself.
First career job I had, I was 26, and the next youngest employee was over 50. I had a co-worker who was 70. This is such a fucked state of affairs. We should all be retiring by about 55-60.
Sadly the show has been on a deteriorating track as far as plot holes, bad science, bad character aging (or lack of), and massive continuity errors, but somehow I just keep watching it like a car crash. The writers do a great job with character development and interpersonal relationships, but it’s like there’s no script supervisor looking at it with an eye for plot holes and disconnects from physical reality.
I played City of Heroes back before World of Warcraft came out. It was so much fun and I belonged to an active supergroup that was cool, but it all seemed to die off when WoW came around. Everyone left and I never did get another social group formed and ended up not playing anymore.
More people need to cancel their subscription. (They most likely won’t though) I am tired of corporations getting away with charging for ads. Not a trend that should ever have been allowed, imo.
I chose to cancel a while back. I stopped using prime video, (really didn’t like prime original ads at the start of everything), and usually didnt order enough to warrant the cost for free shipping. Especially since it would take a week or more before delivery.
I have very little belief that any of the major tech billionaires were Sci-fi “readers”. All were brought up rich and maintained their wealth by failing upwards in an industry that basically threw money at aristocratic families and their offspring. All the sci-fi from prolific figures specifically target those groups as the reason for societies hardships. Herbert, Asimov, Heinlein, etc. all have major works which denounce the inherent vileness of those classes that rule from privileged positions without merit. If they did read any of those most influential books of the genre they definitely took the wrong messages from them. More likely than not, they probably only paid attention to the hypothetical technology in those universes to copy to theur model for “their” ideas, rather than paying any attention to the moral messages usually described about the use of the technology… Which usually ends up fucking the people who use it. Musk driving for human computer integration chips with reckless abandon tells me he has not read any sci-fi which would help him understand the possible hiccups he’s going to run into. I also doubt his endeavour is anything more than a stunt which conflates the use cases of the technology which is probably just revamped HCI technology that already exists to transmit motor cortex impulses to areas of the body that have been damaged due to injury. (I work in neuromodulation research) Even if they read the best scifi now, they would probably take away the wrong messages from them, the lens that you bring to a reading changes how you view it. As a billionaire, they just lack the ability to ground themselves enough to understand the social cautionary messages.
I was the same. I started listing to podcasts in about 2007, it wasn’t until 2018 I started listening to a Star Trek pod. Ben and Adam are my personal recommendation because they A. Are funny B. Go episode by episode, giving the show a really followable structure C. Used to be film production professionals and pick up on techniques that even I, a fellow film production professional, don’t notice.
They love trek, but will happily rip the arse out of it when deserved.
They usually become outdated before they break, ie. an important component like the CPU can’t be upgraded any more, because it won’t fit, so you need to upgrade the whole thing.
Yes I know Intel works on a Tic Tock system so every 2 generations they change the pinouts. AM4 lasted 4 generations, hopefully AM5 will too but unlikely. Still a CPU will last well over 10 years. Motherboards on the other hand, dont even though they should last a lot longer esp considering all the tantilum / other SMD capacitors.
Voyager also only uses mW of power compared to the 25-300w of current CPUs
Alson I was joking about NASA doing anything other than space stuff
Just FYI, the tick-tock model followed by Intel doesn’t directly have anything to do with sockets and pin outs.
The tick-tock model meant that after each change of the microarchitecture was followed by a die shrink. While a new socket is likely a consequence of these changes, it is a necessary byproduct rather than an intentional change.
Furthermore, Intel hasn’t used the tick-tock model since 2016.
However, trying to compare terrestrial consumer hardware with rugged radiation hardened hardware is futile. They have drastically different design/engineering specs that have hard limits with respect to physics, even special process nodes for true radiation hardening (RHBP). I think they’re only 150nm, I want to say there were some RHBP 65nm FPGAs recently, but I’m not 100%.
I have a feeling though if NASA were to make components, they’d all just be specialized embedded systems rather than anything consumer or enterprise. After all, computers are but tools to do different jobs.
While am4 lasted 4 generations, you can’t put 4th Gen chips in a 1st Gen board or vice versa. There are even some 1st Gen boards that can’t do 3rd Gen chips and vice versa.
I was fairly disappointed when I found out AMD blocked Asus from updating 1st & 2nd Gen motherboards to be able to use pcie 4.0 with an agesa update on the BIOS. Blocked is probably the wrong word here though as Asus had already released the boss updates that unlocked pcie 4 on 1st Gen boards with 3rd Gen CPUs. /Rant
No, like Asus tested and certified half of their existing motherboards and released it and it worked fine for a couple weeks before AMD removed that ability. I get why some people may not want to risk signal integrity, but that should be my choice, not AMD’s.
