I do have a double set with original (or as much as you could get) along with the post-prequels completely broken one. I think there was a pre-prequels version as well. But then that is DVD quality, which is getting on a bit.

The likes of Disney+ doesn’t even acknowledge the originals even exist.

Same with their Alien and Aliens versions as well. No director’s cuts at all, which is a shame as I far prefer them. They should have both.

They were course and rough and irritating and got everywhere.

The only way to watch the original Star Wars movies before George completely fucked with them is piracy.

The 4K77, 80 and 83 editions are what you’re after. Enjoy. There are apparently reduced noise versions as well, but I thought it was perfect as is. It’s old. It’s supposed to have noise and grain. The desert scenes in the first one are really noisy and I’m not 100% sure why. Maybe he filmed those on cheaper film stock in smaller cameras, but that’s just a guess.

Apple: Enough!

But you’ll have to buy a whole new laptop when it turns out that was a lie.

Since it underpins Android, you could argue it’s the most successful OS in general.

If you’ve never placed too much trust in your sphincter before, you will eventually.

Thing is, I do kind of think of a JVM as an emulator for a processor that doesn’t exist.

WINE kind of blurs the line of a traditional emulator by having the executable run natively on the target machine’s CPU, but everything it does in regards to dealing with the host OS, the display, disk access, etc, is emulated as far as I’m aware.

A theoretical PS4 or Xbox One emulator running on x86 hardware could be just as much of an emulator as WINE is.

It kind of is though.

I think it’s a different beast entirely.

The open source alternative to Delphi is Lazarus if you’re that way inclined.

A lot of Delphi was the work of Anders Hejlsberg, who you might remember from other little known languages such as C# and Typescript.

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

Either that or sit in 1 and tell him one of the wolves is violating the GPL.

I wish they’d open source it.

I don’t think anything else comes close for just dropping a bunch of shit on a form and running it.

Have you heard of our lord and saviour, Delphi?

Automated numberplate recognition systems have spoilt so much fun.

Tfw some new laptops don’t even have a place to put more RAM.

Boggles the mind that laptop people just rolled over and accepted this bullshit.

Smart switch in the UK is awkward because we have no neutral wire in the wall switches.

Quality of HDR is very much dependent on the TV you have I think.

I’m still rocking a 2017 LG OLED which are considered pretty good, but as you go down into LCDs and the cheaper brands, you’ll probably take a hit on image quality. Some TVs used to have a yellow pixel as well as red blue and green, so could even be that.

HDR is less about the brightness (although they are brighter than older TVs) and more about colour and brightness accuracy.

Last time I tried HDR on Windows, that sucked too.

My Android TV and consoles are about the only devices where it works properly.

SNES ROMs were actually around 4MB. People always spoke about them being 32 Meg or whatever, but they meant megabits.

I did like Animal Well, but gave up after looking at one of the bunny solutions and deciding I didn’t have the patience for that.

I think most of the size of games is just graphics and audio. I think the code for most games is pretty small, but for some godforsaken reason it’s really important that they include incredibly detailed doorknobs and 50 hours of high quality speech for a dozen languages in raw format.

I could never get on with either of them. I was always a Paint Shop Pro man.

Have to use Paint.NET these days.

I’m not completely convinced that isn’t Nick Offerman in a wig.
