Do recall Ad Astra on FTA here some years back- it’s bound to make a re-appearance sometime.
Really that bad? Most of the FTA streaming sections boast a comprehensive line-up of goodies, old and new, it’s the migration over to Fetch that has uncovered bugs that make streaming more screaming than ever before. A lot of it appears to be on the Fetch…[Read more]

Another one with a good soundtrack bursting with Bacharach numbers like Girls Know How. 🙂
There is a lot of tension in Hereditary where things get a little bezonkers, especially Toni Collette, which explains the downvotes from the “average cinema-goer” according to CinemaScore. Well put together movie, recommended if really good old horror sugar…[Read more]

Despite “The North Wind and the Sun” still being used in phonetic sampling there were some who preferred to cry wolf. As it so happens, the wolf is in AI clothing now, because telling the difference between human and AI voice samples requires more of a better set of ears than before. Something the likes of Presbycusis have no answer for. 🙁

Belkin make really good stuff, so will keep an eye out. Have to replace an aging 6 outlet power board and – er – a few more around as well. 😛
The Back-UPS seems to be working after the battery change, although the same thing still happened with the HP, until the realization the UPS settings are per computer, and not stored on the unit. Awaiting…[Read more]

Even the idea of persuading folks to setup, operate, and champion such clinics is itself enough to warrant such an argument. Design hint: all doors, windows and fittings are to be unhinged, to match the profiles of the inmates. 😛
The first joke in First Cow went like this:
What side of a tree grows the most leaves? Answer”: The outside.(

Grinberg’s next project: convert the engine of a Model T Ford into a Hybrid, and talking of transportation, together with spheres, there is the Dynasphere, a modification for which could be implemented at funfairs to replace or augment dodgem cars. 😛

Back in the day, organ shops were ubiquitous as everybody had to have one. These days, the…[Read more]

From Evil Dead to Meatballs – heck that’s some leap of genre, a mighty fine soundtrack as well. love Moondust and of course the title track. On the list for an encore view!
And now, for a double leap of genre (or bovine over the moon), First Cow with the 4:3 aspect adding a retro vibe to the experience. As the film does not boast whizbangery in…[Read more]

The Batman with ads consumed most of the evening. All the sounds of Gotham are imbued in the all pervading dark noise, thereby taking a little away from the fine score and dialogue. The purpose of the Riddler murders at the beginning seemed to get lost in other incongruities, his later revealed character was an interesting contrast. The characters…[Read more]

Interesting, that’s in Italian – are you conversant, or like me, dependent on subscripts.
Do recommend the first two Rush Hour flicks, superb choreography and LOL moments. 🙂
The Assignment is on FTA tonight:

Dr. Rachel Jane is a rogue plastic surgeon with a twisted vision of a better world.

What we need is more folks with a better vision of a…[Read more]

[Post moved] hope that’s okay. 🙂
Very interesting thread! As noted in the last bit of the second answer to this question, a consideration is the fuse going if the MOV gets too hot for risk of fire.
Don’t think Zero Surge do units for Australian power outlets, found this for the aerial, something with more outlets would be nice. The Surge…[Read more]

How much is fuel? Bound to be plenty of oil on that tropical planet, any use for spaceships?
Remember Tobor the Great? Just in case it has slipped from memory, there’s a nice review here. 🙂

Haven’t read King’s novel, did see the movie, and now, is it possible a tiny smidgeon of Christine has popped up in AI? 😛
Classic, and a must for the list is Evil Dead II. 🙂
The atmosphere of The Disappointments Room clicked, not for the critics though. A shortish flick, Kate’s histrionics towards the end were off the charts. 🙂
An improved…[Read more]

That fixed it, have to say forgot all about the shader issue, originally thought this was the issue, misinterpreted it, turns out the graphics subsystem is completely unaffected.
Wait, wasn’t it announced a couple of months back Anandtech were closing, there’s nothing about it on the About page. The forums are remaining, however. 🙂
Toast…[Read more]

Gotham borrows a little from Sin City, it has the same composer at least.

Oooh, enticing poster! 🙂
FTA had The Rhythm Section on again, consequently the memory was refreshed of the brittle plot once more. The feisty lead is worth a second look. 🙂
Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for the first time, impressive, though being a long film…[Read more]

Definitely! A thread or blog, even reviving the subforum back at AfkMods would be cool. Some folks say it runs quite well on Linux – on your rig don’t think there would be much difference though. 🙂
Meanwhile, the enquiry regarding Oblivion is still shuffling through Intel’s in-pile, if they are unable to assist, an option is to refer it back to…[Read more]

If there was ever a Contradiction Clinic, is there a way to make the guy form an argument as to why he prefers contradiction to argument, other than just having him denying any preference. 😛
How would you describe a bunch of tear-jerking newsletters issued from a website?
A sob-scription. 🙁

Ah, they might have cancelled the entertainment complex at Orlando, we still have the Dopeameme Institute for Pleasure Research coming into Vegas, exclusively for those of us who are dopamine rush deprived!
What kind of sea creatures avail themselves for the plate? Interestingly, the links in this SO Fish Catches Man thread provide an alternative…[Read more]

Used to keep boxes in case of returns, the general experience is if anything ended up faulty, the box had gone, as the unit had exceeded warranty anyway. 😛
Two items of concern with the HP which should be followed up with their support, the first being the W11 USB recovery drive left in the slot on boot. Grey/nothing screen on boot up, if the…[Read more]

The Woods is on the list, and did see the Changeling many years ago, classic horror, and enjoyed the soundtrack especially.
Often wondered what it would be like if everything we receive in content is presented in a Sin City format. Especially news feeds, events of the world delivered by shadowy silhouettes in fedoras with low hoarse voices…[Read more]
