I wonder if this is meant to be a counter across *all* of these machines? But then maybe the number is too low…

Their philosophy is also great: “File over app”. You’re just working with plain old Markdown files, so switching apps down the road is relatively trivial.

This is a great piece. But also, your prose is always so nice to read. Love your style. ✌️

Do you think there’s evidence that *all* of the VFX shots are missing? Because if it’s only some… I’m worried that Lionsgate doesn’t even have them done at all yet. 😬 (Either way HBO should pull this whole thing until it’s fixed.)

You probably know this, but the other related re-release examples you cited all related to changing aspect ratios. This one's different, since Mad Men was always presented in 16:9. A 4K/HDR re-release of the show from the negatives *should* be genuinely terrific!

If this was shot on film and originally mastered in HD, they’d have had to go back to the negatives and recreate the VFX (or upscale the original). Seems like this shot slipped through. As @tvaziri.com points out, this isn’t a case of cropping for a new aspect ratio, since it was originally 16:9.

Not to my knowledge. It's 10 comedy vignettes loosely inspired by each of the commandments, "tied together" by a host (Paul Rudd) introducing each segment and also leaving his wife for Jessica Alba.

Well, shoot. The NSG-MR5U has Bluetooth, but the NSG-MR1 seems not to. (It also doesn't seem to have any LEDs whatsoever, so who knows if it's even turned on.)

Holy crap, I don’t know how I missed this. I’ll let you know if I manage to get it paired to my steam deck. :)

It’s a dream! Sculpted back side! Optical cursor sensor on the top right! But I’m pretty sure it’s using some kind of proprietary RF signal that nothing else can receive. It’s such a shame.

Damn, this is great, thank you. Did you sweeten the audio at all? It sounds terrific, much better than I remember from other sources.

I’m fascinated by their use of “users” in the press release. Not sure if they’ve done that previously, but the design docs purposely use “people” to refer to those who use Apple products.

Assuming the Steam version, I've just been watching the whole programming loop on one channel, move to the next channel, repeat. Eventually you'll see an alert that will unlock packettes.
