Maybe this will be a new point of evolution and our eye shapes will change in a new (not better) way were we see worse… Who knows… I don’t know what I’m talking about . ✌️

Isn’t that what happened to the schools during COVID or something with one of the programs. I forget…

Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn’t sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I’ve been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.

This court case is why the US government needed to invest billions into AI. Cover the legal fees. /s

This is what brought the prequels back from the dead.

We just need more star trek memes to take over and we’ll save star trek

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.

You can test this issue with laptop sending large files to your NAS over Wi-Fi. Local device communication is crazy slow on my network over the eeros. I discovered this when I moved a TV that was on a wired connection to wireless and everything feel apart from there.

I’m using eero as my wifi and for whatever reason, the eero wifi only give me max 10 Mbps, while a wired connection is over 100 Mbps. Also, my tplink WAP gives me 50Mbps.

However, if I do a speed test to an outside server, it’ll report over 300 Mbps… Something is messed up with local stream for me with my eeros. I’ll likely be removing them soon.

However, in the short term I re-encoded a bunch of my 4k rips down to 1080 and this resolved all my bandwidth issues.

A few episodes is nearly half the number of episodes available

See like a pass for now, we watched the first episode and there was some interest, but have not been asked for since. Will try again in a few months and see what happens. I personally am curious about the show, but will wait to watch together.

I hope they survive this time. I love getting a nice copy of a book as a gift.

Still have my CD copy, but wonder if I can download the patches still… Maybe time to dust it off, just to find it has suffered rot… 😭

I started to watch prodigy, the first episode, but wasn’t motivated enough to go beyond a few minutes. I should give it another try, as it’s the only new star trek for the family to watch.

Strange new worlds might work, but due to how dark (lighting) and how real the effects look, this show is still not as family as the original shows.

What I’m looking for is something I know my kids can watch without being a helicopter parent.

It’s hard to really describe, maybe I’m getting old… 👴

Can we get some Star Trek I can watch with my kids around? I have to stick with classic trek (everything from Enterprise and earlier) as there isn’t an option. Sure Prodigy does exist, but I don’t know if I can get into that show myself.

Rant over…

They can make Section 31 content all they want, I don’t care, just make it good enough to watch. Hell, just take the book series and make a mini series based on those stories.

Maybe they didn’t watch it? I failed to get past 20 minutes.

Facebook is the only way for me to keep up with what’s happening in my town. Lots of the older generation of people are on it and always post what’s the best repair people, events or other news worthy things. Basically local news feed.

Yeah, the song I 2 I, from a goofy movie will take AI a while to get right.

What if it was The Gulf of the Atlantic

Sure you can convert the DVD to whatever codec, I have found the original mpeg stream to not be very compatible with my devices. When I did 264, it was more for speed. It’s a 480 p/I mpeg2 stream, I don’t think 265 is worth the extra CPU cycles for this case. This is also just an opinion. 👍

True about AC3 being left alone, but dts should be converted, I can’t seem to get that to bitstream as nice as Dolby tracks.

I do reencode my uhd rips, to bring them down to 1080. I only have one 4k display and it’s not worth the bandwidth to try and stream it for me.
