Daniel Radcliffe in the Weird Al movie. Everyone in Possessor.

I had never heard of her before Pearl, and she fucking blew me away. I’ve been underwhelmed with her choice of roles since then, but she’s earned my respect.

Is it possible to set up the pihole so certain devices are unfiltered? My partner works in digital marketing and needs to test that her clients’ ads are functional.

I’m naive. What’s the motive for an attack like this?

Oh my god that didn’t even occur to me. Maybe I am a beginner!

To be honest, I recently got a TCL Roku TV and I almost gave up on trying to use it as a dumb TV. I’m not a beginner at this, but setting up a network connection was so embedded in the initial setup, from the moment you turn the TV on. I did a couple factory resets and I could not figure out how to bypass it. Turns out I had to set it to “store display mode” at a certain point and then connect my other streaming device.

"Our youth love luxury.  They have bad manners and despise authority.  They show disrespect for their elders and love to chatter instead of exercise.  Young people are now tyrants, not the servants of their household.  They no longer rise when their elders enter the room.  They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up food and terrorize their teachers.” -Socrates ~400BC

And I’m in no hurry to see it.

I hope you wrote this light-heartedly, because it made me laugh and helps me understand autism a little better.

I like Leo and he acts with a lot of intensity, but I don’t think he’s a great actor. I never forget that I’m watching someone playing a character.

I’ve shared this before, but on a podcast Greig Fraser (cinematographer for Dune, The Batman) basically said, “AI is happening, and we as artists can either embrace it and decide how to use it tastefully, or investors/producers will decide for us.”

I thought it was fine. Could have been called “Manhattan Project” instead. And as an anti-war American I thought they made a compelling case at the end that the US was “forced” to obliterate all those Japanese civilians, but from a human perspective I still think it was abominable.

It’s really funny that people did the “Barbenheimer.” The hot pink, light-hearted feminist eye candy into a 3-hour sepiatone drama starring 45 white men. I would have whiplash.

An attempt at humor?

If I may ask, how are you able to take a 75% pay cut and still pay your bills?

They have a handful of dumb screens, like you’re describing, at Best Buy. Somehow they’re thousands of dollars for a normal sized TV.

You can chill. The person who replied to you wasn’t arguing against your general point, just clarifying the context.

Same. My partner got an Apple watch and loved all the lifestyle tools, but she stopped wearing it because she couldn’t stand all the notifications. I said it would just take a couple minutes to turn off the ones she didn’t like, but she doesn’t have time for that!

Samsara was the first movie to be scanned in 8K. It’s stunning in 4K, so I think I would also enjoy it in 8K.
