I mostly watch Blu Ray as I still maintain the quality is superior compared to most streaming I've seen, mostly in the audio actually. On the PS5 disc edition it is quite glorious. Best way to enjoy my home theatre.
Will probably re-watch a couple of Christmas movies over the next few days: Scrooged, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Die Hard and maybe even A Wonderful life. That sort of stuff.
I read a great article on this subject the other day: https://www.slashfilm.com/673162/heres-why-movie-dialogue-has-gotten-more-difficult-to-understand-and-three-ways-to-fix-it/"A lot of people watch it on their flatscreen with their sound bar and they think it's going to be an improved sound situation, but it may not translate," says Sylvester:
Great link indeed, plenty of sense. I know some things about audio processing - music not dialog - and not a movie buff, but I nodded my way through it. |

same. as my inet sucks i would have to stream in low quality if indeed i could get even that. so bluray is it for me. i also have a denon 7.1 receiver with audyssey for eq and use my old 4x10" ampeg bass cab as a sub. all run off my home built HTPC of course. it does the trick. misophonia sucks, so ive been into home theater for decades, even before it was cool. Similar here. harman/kardon 5.1 system on a massive TV screen, dedicated home-built HTPC, and a good source of free, downloadable content, streamed via locally set-up Plex client/servers. After experiencing the immersiveness of watching a movie in that system, I rarely felt the need to visit a movie theater, except when I'm with friends. I have access to Netflix via a friend's account, and, apart from some quality series, the content of movies worth watching is very limited. I don't think I would ever subscribe. OTOH, everything is available out there for free, and of very high quality, if you know where to look. My Plex server currently has about 200 movies in my "to watch" queue. |

Feels like a bit more goalpost moving to me … the earlier statement he is trying to redefine was pretty clear: "I will call s2f invalidated if we have not reached 100K by Dec this year ..." (My highlighting) |

No high quality screen/audio here, but I am a Plex user (and fan) too. I do have a few gripes about Plex needing to check the central servers even for local-to-local requests (WHY!?). Also, they recently changed the security protocol, and I can't lower the security even for requests coming from inside the LAN. So I had to get myself a firestick just to be able to run an up to date plex client: since I updated my local server, it wouldn't let the local client connect anymore. |

I have similar reservations. Such things always end up becoming monetized and turning to shit. |

I'd say this was a joke, but after Phillip's report and the mass porting of numbers from that phone provider I'm not so sure. Stay vigilant....  There are definitely situation of hacking that I feel the hacked does not have anything (or very little) to do with it. Phillip is one of them. But that guy? Doesn't MetaMask allow hardware wallets? Certainly there are options. At least a nice strong BIP-39 passphrase. I am sorry that "Crypto Bitlord" lost money (and I have a feeling it was a LOT), but a DILDO APP? On the computer where you use MetaMask to trade your idiotic PNGs? I do not even type any of my cold wallet ADDRESSES into a block explorer other than the one *I RUN* behind Tor. Etheriem is a f^&*ing throbbing attack surface. A dildo app... *sigh*. The hackers most CERTAINLY did a good job sizing up their targets. |
