I’m assuming that change would be Euros, though; can they really use that in Switzerland?

These look like they would’ve all very quickly become incredibly outdated, if they weren’t already by the time they started flying. The only one that looks remotely ready for World War II is the Dewoitine D.513, and that’s still very much the prototype for what’s to come, not the polished products that the British, Americans, Japanese, and Germans would be building by 1940.

I haven’t used them in a while, but they were always our backup when I was in TV news. Probably should make sure my colleagues know since I’m sure basically every TV station and production company would not want this.

Weird, seems the photo didn’t come over

I wish they would do an HD release of the show. NBC only ordered it as an SD show for most of the series, because that was the era of the transition and only some shows were ordered for HD and budgeted to use the HD production equipment. The Director of Photography shot the whole thing on 16mm film, though, and framed everything so there was a 16x9 safe shot in case they ever went back to upgrade it for syndication or home release. “All” it would take is re-scanning the original film into HD and taking the edit list from the original version and applying it to the same timecode.

I don’t think there are many shows I can take more than 4 episodes at one time. I remember visiting my cousin, and when I was leaving we watched Arrested Development until it was time to go to the airport. I found it funny and was enjoying it, but by hour 3 I was done and have never been able to get into it since.

Hadn’t checked out the Apple shows yet but also didn’t know they were Bill Lawrence; that bumps them up the list some

Unironically I like that

Is it an actual cassette drive or just a flash disk shaped like a cassette drive? Because I don’t think cassette drives normally have storage. But I suppose it could be useful to anyone who still has their C64 cassettes, if they haven’t degraded too much!

Well, it is only a preliminary report. All it seems to be giving us, though, is what happened. The “why” is probably going to be much harder.

They’re saying no mechanical or design flaws since it sounds like one of the pilots cut off the fuel, but in the voice recording both are denying having cut off the fuel, so it still has me wondering how they were able to (apparently) accidentally shut off the fuel during the ascent.

It would be a big, expensive case, and as there are well-funded organisations that rely on the precedent not being set against them in both directions, both sides would get interested third parties funding their legal fees. No one wants that, so Nintendo stick to claiming emulators are illegal on their website

I would assume particularly that no one who has big interests there wants it to go to court because once there’s a ruling and a precedent is set it becomes much harder to change if you’re on the losing side. So, for example, if game publishers lost and it was clearly ruled legal that consumers have a right to make software work with hardware that the software was never intended for, that would make it much harder for publishers to fight emulators without some additional problem like trademark infringement. The advice I’ve heard is unless you can be absolutely certain how a judge will rule, you want to avoid going to court because strange and unexpected things can happen in a courtroom that can be very bad for you.

Never heard of such a thing, but there’s a lot of video trends I don’t understand already

CD-R works better in my car and Discman

You would’ve had to pay for the call itself, but probably only if you had to make a long-distance call. I think by that time local numbers were pretty universally unlimited minutes, but long distance was 25¢/minute or more. I was too young to be buying phone service myself, then, but remember TV ads promoting 25¢ or 10¢ or something like that as a good deal. Around 2003 when I was first living on my own I used to buy prepaid calling cards to call home and those got me as low as 3¢/minute, and that was a bargain.

I seem to remember our first disks/discs coming in with 5 free hours. That might’ve even been included with a Packard Bell we bought.

I think it peaked around 6 months, then got better and the teeth less sharp. But we definitely got a “teenager” closer to 2-3 years.

I think the fix was to put a limit on the script, just have it run a couple times, the same as it would during the day, not just keep going until it gets stopped.
