Thanks for setting this up, looks like there’s an issue with the profile pic upload, returns a 400

nitter is breaking too unfortunately

Remux all the way. If the movie is grainy that’s just how it is. I understand some people like smoothing but I’d rather the full quality.

That makes no sense. Native apps are full of tracking and analytics garbage you can’t easily block not to mention ads. Most are just react native anyways if cross platform. PWAs you can at least block all the nasty stuff and honestly I doubt anyone would notice a difference in performance. I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience though.

Not really. A proper PWA is cached locally and assets loaded just once just like a normal app.

Yeah that a bigger discussion around 4k masters. Usually I’ve found if the Blu-ray has a lot of grain it’s likely a newer scan more true to the film print. Some older ones were just upscaled from some older scan and some they do cleanup - some is fine like removing defects not in the print. Definitely a balancing act. If it’s real film grain I’m fine with it even if it’s excessive as long as it’s not added in for the sake of making an upscaled copy look more legit.

There used to be a site that tracked which copies were real but seems to have been abandoned.

TF2 has some good ones. Those were the days, along with the original prop hunt, rocket jump maps and sledding.

Everyone loves him but essentially the same reason I can’t watch/listen to Louis Rossmann. I support the right to repair cause but his other views go way off.

Besides the mentioned hating on NY, during last two elections he supported trump and republicans, bashed democrats and just leaned into that that whole saying something conspiracy related by saying “I dunno” which has been an almost dog whistle of support while trying to act open minded. I don’t believe he’s republican but his move to Texas and being anti government kinda points him in a certain direction.

Obviously that’s all fine of him to have those views. I just don’t like hearing it during a board repair or right to repair video.

Now I know someone is going to say oh thats just one comment out of hours and he said he doesn’t like blah blah… his 2016 videos had lots of joking about trump, anti hillary, pepe etc.
