An Xbox 360 with a VGA adapter and Dead Rising. My TV at the time was one of those gigantic old 90s video editing CRTs, the kind that take all sorts of analog inputs like RCA and S-Video and even did HD if you could convert something to BNC, but pointedly would not do Component or HDMI. A few days prior I'd learned that VGA can be repinned directly to BNC, and then when I was wandering through Best Buy I saw they'd gotten some 360 VGA adapters in. I stopped, flipped a coin, called heads, it landed heads, I bought it.

I'd figured I'd get some minor fun out of it, basically just bought it because I really wanted to play Dead Rising. Instead I wound up using the ever loving hell out of my 360. Still have it, still works, no RROD or anything.

Elon: Let the free market decide.

Free Market: *decides*

Elon: Wait, no, not like that

Aye, the 2012 movie staring Karl Urban, not the 1995 dumpster fire starring Stallone.

Dredd. Karl Urban absolutely nailed that role, and all without ever showing the top half of his face.

86336930 checking in. Pretty sure I remember the password, but it's not like I can check now.

You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.

Guessing they used Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, maybe an NZB client....

Would you look at that, I'm sophisticated now.

Not sure when exactly it started, but the MLMYM instance here seems to be "read only", for lack of a better term. Attempts to comment, post, or even vote on content do not work. I can still log in and out normally, still view subscribed content, but nothing else works. Not sure what's going on.

Almost, but needs a few tweaks:

  • Content should be border-to-border in the 2000 panel.

  • Needs to be 3 lines of content in 2010 and only two lines of content in 2018.

  • 2018 needs a slide-over autoplay video on the bottom-left of the content space.

Weird Al still wholesome after all these years.

Depends on what counts as "better".

Better quality? WAV, since it's lossless.

Better efficiency? OGG (well, Vorbis) since it compresses pretty well, but you'll still get a (minor) loss in quality.

That said, both of those formats are old news and should only be used if you have weird, specific compatibility needs. For lossy compression, OGG/Vorbis has been succeeded by Opus; it's what YouTube uses, compresses fantastically, and is supported by damn near everything. For lossless, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is still the gold standard: you can reduce file sizes by as much as 60% with literally zero loss in quality. If you can, use one of those.

This just feels like a repeat of Rural Electrification: yeah it's expensive and not immediately profitable, but we're at the point where it's necessary to be a part of modern society.

I'll be blunt: the fact that they're opposing it makes me even more supportive of it.
