The core problem is that many movies have the audio mixed for a movie theatre with multiple separately controllable audio channels. You might see this marked as 5.1 ; DTS; etc. In a typical home environment, you only have stereo sound. This means that the multiple audio channels have to be mixed down to two unless there is a separate stereo audio mix channel provided - basically never except commentary tracks. The shitty way to do it is to just take the left and right front channels which are mainly meant for sound effects and not bother to mix in the center channel which covers the dialogue. It’s still hard even if you mix in some of the centre channel.

Short version: asshole movie makers mix only for movie theatres, not stereo.

So what’s his laying off 5% of staff?

I fail to understand what disabilities this could help with

Fundamentally the only unique attribute for these goggles is 3D and that comes at a significant expense in terms of user experience. It’s the same story as it has been over the last two centuries.

Stereographic photos in the 19th century worked perfectly well but required a special headset and only one person could look at them at a time. Didn’t take off. People prefer to be able to look at two-dimensional photos perhaps casually and to be able to point the things to other people looking at the same photo or to compare it with other things at the same time.

3d movies in the 1950s required special red, blue or red green glasses. Didn’t take off beyond a gimmick. 3d movies could not be watched without the goggles.

3d movies in the theatre in the early 2000s. Didn’t really get beyond the gimmick level. Lots of people complain about headaches.

3d TVs in the early 2000s required special glasses and the 3D could not be used if other people were trying to watch without the glasses.

The conclusion I draw from this is that people don’t like having to wear special glasses or a device strapped to their face, even if it is relatively cheap to produce. Although 3D is nice, it simply doesn’t seem to be sufficient incentive to put up with the isolation from other people and the surrounding environment that the viewing equipment invariably requires.

Just get an old optiplex in Amazon renewed

Ok so almost 20 years ago, great. What about now?

I wonder if those maintainers will end up having any liability for the hack.

They’re a crypto company. I’ll give you three guesses

These are on the decline these days in favour of gender neutral terms, e.g.

• Chair/chairperson
• Spokesperson
• Actor
• Firefighter
• Police officer
• Paramedic

If you’re transferring Linux to Linux then I really wouldn’t recommend samba. Why not SFTP/Rsync? Compression, and error checking built in.

I know right? I’m constantly confused by this when I’m dealing with kubernetes networking

You haven’t addressed the case of migraine to a non geographic tld

I trust none of the I can. People are running anything on kubernetes 😆

Oh wow! And that reservation makes so much sense under these circumstances. Obviously, we could never consider the possibility of a three-letter TLD for a country or migrating a two-letter TLD to a non country specific name because reasons.

iPlayer isn’t an ‘open’ service- you have to use a supported client, even if that client is a web browser. Your options are limited to platforms that can support those clients. Personally I’ve found Roku preferable to Chromecast, firestick, full PC. I may at some point have tried to get iPlayer running with Kodi back in the day, when it was XBMC, but XBMC was pretty clunky anyway, let alone on raspberry pi.

Yes there’s a lot of them

Looks like it’s too easy to delete. I click on the link and I get a not found exception

Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

Not all these devices support local storage for music and it’s a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.
