@selectwario Same model as my shared Family PC back in the 2000's. Nothing amazing but it serves us well.

I found a 2001 Dell PC at a thrift store for $5 in really good shape and it’s ALIVE I assume I might need an older keyboard to set this thing up. My modern gaming keyboard doesn’t work lol

@mark_bril @Gibboanxious

@Gibboanxious I've just started buying 4k blu rays and I use my Xbox series X as a player. I don't yet have an OLED TV. I tried watching 300 in 4k the other night and I was shocked but how much grain it had. maybe I'm a moron but that seems a fault rather than a feature.

Imagine investing in a high-end OLED TV and a UHD player, then asking this.

@sequoiavapor @bowlcuthaver @fleshsimulator He's going to take the aforementioned genome sequence and create a house slave homunculi out of it.

@bowlcuthaver @fleshsimulator I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and he'll have doxxed his genome sequence

This is an exceptionally funny last post ever on an account

@PhDStrawMan @fleshsimulator @fivegeedubya I just looked dead on without overthinking it. Am I just built different?

@fleshsimulator @fivegeedubya Depending on how you interpret what I said, it could be reversed. Just looks for the semi circle, realize there’s another circle under it covered by a semi circle and then follow where they connect, whichever side works for you

If you can’t focus on this with both eyes open you are not going to like what’s coming lol

@roguespider07 I've used dozens and dozens of them for years. Never had one snap on me. Have you ever used one before? They are thin but not as easy to snap as you think they are due to their material strength and width/length also being small.

@MtrHrse its a micro extremely hyper thin extremely tiny sd card theres no way people dont snap it in half by accident

Lemme check the price for what the fuck. what. the fuck.

@roguespider07 That's a wild price, but to be fair I've never heard of an instance of someone easily snapping their microSD card... surely this doesn't happen, right?

$360. for a tiny express card that can snap in an instant.

@itsintheocean @Ayeris_23 @mwestapps @astraiaintel Yeah, because hardware got better in the time it took for 7 to come out.

@Ayeris_23 @mwestapps @astraiaintel I honestly don't remember ever experiencing laggs in Windows 7.

Windows 7 looks objectively more modern than Windows 11

@UltraHDBluray @rvolutionworld @roXyPS3 Oh no... the "clean power" obsessive audiophiles are getting their hands on Blu-ray players now?

@KennyLauderdal3 @SethFromMaine I have a few of those exact Funai's (in the form of Magnavox, same hardware). I don't hate them. Good for casual use or if you don't want to put hours on something better. They certainly work and are better than nothing.

@KennyLauderdal3 @SethFromMaine JVC S-VHS's clean house. The 3D NR alone makes playback insanely clean, not to mention the timing correction they have. I can't imagine any Funai winning out no matter how fresh it is... not unless your JVC is absolutely thrashed somehow.

Where are they getting the new VCR mechanisms? I don't follow this project since I already have way too many VCRs, but if some company is making new players then this is something I need to know.

@MattLovesVinyl @VHSDVDBLURAY4K Standard definition isn't as bad as it's memed. Mostly a bad rep from god awful encodes from the early piracy days.

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K Yeah... but... standard definition? No thanks.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you building a physical media library is too late or too expensive

@rippersarchive Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. Bad phrasing.

@MtrHrse I didn't reencode it. I downloaded it at some point and then uploaded it at some point and now it is here :)

The Big O (1999) 1080p (13.06GB) Audio: English, Japanese Subtitles: English

@Noc_148 @gamrjerome @Joferjeff @HDMOVIESOURCE Way to completely miss the point of what that guy was saying. It's not strictly a knowledge issue, it's also a cost issue. Yeah, the average consumer doesn't know what bitrate means but they also can't even tell the difference and streaming is cheap and easy... which is a shame.

@gamrjerome @Joferjeff @HDMOVIESOURCE Buying a $80 Blu-ray player and expecting it to actually look like a Blu-ray is intended to look is the first problem. If you’re buying a $80 player you’re not serious about movies. Simple as that. For actual quality your spending over $180 (UB450)

Blu-ray is now 20 years old and still going strong! #Bluray #PhysicalMedia tomshardware.com/pc-components/…

@nikiburstr8x @HDMOVIESOURCE To be fair, people were saying that physical was dead the moment these came out as streaming was already on the horizon at the time. 20 years later they're still kicking. I'm more convinced that there hasn't been a new format because we haven't needed a new one for any reason.

@HDMOVIESOURCE do you really think there will be another new physical data storage format in future after the cloud was poppin off that much?

@AllietheDegen @EmperorBigD SoM are working on a version 2 that fixes a few issues with version 1 in addition to further improvements to the color. I wouldn't count on SoM doing an upscale... not their MO. There is a group doing an upscale of the DBZ SoM CC... idk the group's name or if they did DB, sorry.

Remember the 'French AB Video' that was officially releasing Dragon Ball Upscaled to HD and Color Corrected AND the HQ audio and put out 1-68 and we were all waiting for 69-153? Well guess what, Toei decided NOT to give them 69-153. The release is dead. I've NEVER in my LIFE seen a company hate its fans more than Toei. They go after creators, artists, and REFUSE to fix their own issues or even let fans do it for them. They REFUSE to even take the broadcast audio because of... ego? Absolutely repulsive company.

@EricHogue0 @f4micom My point was that the EU could have picked another standard. Plenty of experts could have come together and said that the Lightning Port is objectively the best and picked that one. No person or organization is truly objective.

@MtrHrse @f4micom The EU didn't choose "the socially acceptable one," they chose the one that technology companies overwhelmingly agreed was the best and had objective evidence to back it up.

communism is when you standardize power cables

@seedofmight Is there a reason that Kineko's 35mm 4K Scan of Dragon Ball Movie 2 - The Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle wasn't used as a source for this latest CC release? Did you guys just not know about it or was there another reason entirely? Is there something wrong with that Scan?

@sakugazx Is there a reason that Kineko's 35mm 4K Scan of Dragon Ball Movie 2 - The Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle wasn't used as a source for this latest movie CC release? Did you guys just not know about it or was there another reason?

The color correction for the movies is something I personally worked on with the help of a small team. I’m incredibly glad these are finally available for everyone to enjoy. Here is an example of how drastically different these movies will look with this release!

@vixon__ @seedofmight Apparently the 4:3 sources were really bad, so they didn't bother.

@seedofmight No 4:3?
