So I can subscribe for 1 month, download all the exclusive content, and then turn my membership off/back on based on the value I think I’m getting?

media.ccc.de is a great specialized “streaming service” too, mostly supported by NewPipe (oddly not Grayjay yet). I can understand German decently so I don’t have issues with the bilingual content. If you like Chaos Congress talks, you can also try DEFCON and other ones available on YouTube but I didn’t feel like including any of them because they’re just uploads of slightly different kinds of media, much like HBO’s Last Week Tonight channel I also subscribe to.

Because I manually download videos to watch on the bus or train (thanks Grayjay & NewPipe), most of my subscriptions are for long-form, often listenable content:

Retro Tech: Techmoan, Technology Connections, Posy, Janus Cycle, CRD, Ben Eater, DiodeGoneWild, pannenkoek2012, videolabguy, Adrian’s Digital Basement,The Science Elf, previously LGR and 8-Bit Guy/Keys

Science: Kuvina Saydaki, BobbyBroccoli, Numberphile, Computerphile, carykh

Tech News & Discussion (not always long-form): Louis Rossmann, Mental Outlaw, Brodie Robertson, SomeOrdinaryGamers, Asianometry, Atomic Shrimp, previously Thunderf00t

Urbanism: Not Just Bikes, Adam Something, Alan Fisher, Tramly, BritMonkey

D&D Story Narration: CritCrab, Puffin Forest

Bold channels are most underrated imo

If you really want a prebuilt one, of course.

YouTube versions are already compressed and lacking in detail. It’s really best to generate locally. If the work computer is running Windows, you can use the geq filter.

Bosses that capture the screen to monitor your performance LOVE this

Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom

The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term “open source”.

Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.

…and ignore one of the coolest things there is to see on the sky

A solar or lunar eclipse?

Is this by Inspirobot? Its most-upvoted quote on r/inspirobot uses the same image.

Areas with loam touch all three sides. So… Some kind of loam exists without sand, some without clay and some without silt. I am not a soil scientist but I’d guess that any substance that contains neither is a kind of loam.

First sentence of my post, for this very reason – they own the franchise, after all. The law may also change the other way but that’s very unlikely to happen in the US within 50 years.

I wonder if they could develop a system of draconian DRM (only their own theatres with metal detectors, personalized online streams…) and mildly edit movies every few decades so that they can destroy the original and effectively renew copyright. The gaming industry’s always-online DRM makes nuking a release possible but copyright lasts for about 20 console generations (we’ve only had 8 so far!) so they don’t even have to do that.

I think that at least the sub-title “Episode IV: A New Hope” was added in that DVD release… Anyway, a “4K77” scan of a 1977 film reel distributed directly by the studio exists, it’s just noisy and needed color correction.

find an original film print and have it scanned

The 4K77 project did just that, scan and color correction to reverse fading, and effectively no other processing so they cannot claim copyright. Arguably, Harmy’s Despecialized Edition cannot either, even if the original becomes public domain, as it could be argued that their effort only served a technical purpose. I don’t think you can scan, upscale and denoise Steamboat Willie (Walt Disney, 1928) and claim copyright on that even if you do it by hand.

Interesting… Too bad a right-holder can do minor edits to their work and effectively extend copyright (which is already very long in my opinion) if they nuke the previous version. Lucas was surprisingly successful at that, and I think game studios or other creators could do that today too with their aggressive DRM tactics.

Thank you, great point!

Finally, I can calmly watch the performance of my stock portfolio
