  • IMAX has a laser thing that renders in 4K, but the point still stands. 1080p is good enough for me, and cinema once a year to have fun with friends.

    The automatic HDR on my TV was a revolution because it changed the picture. 4K changes nothing.

    It’s not like we went from black-and-white to color TV, it’s like “here are way more pixels but most people don’t care because they talk and drink during the movie.” Movie nerds may care and it’s fine, but I can’t justify buying a new TV for that.













    • The EU will keep pushing to break encryption: like they have been doing for decades? Do you remember the book that Bruce Schneier wrote?
    • More age verification laws: yeah, more, that is obvious too that they won’t stop
    • More efforts to block VPNs: after scanning phones locally and remotely to “think of the children” and wanting to spy on every messaging service, VPN were obviously the next step (even more obvious because they want to stop piracy, not protect children)
    • An AI agent will go terribly wrong: after the suicide, telling you to cook pasta with gas, and other brainwashing stories?
