Comment Re:Another Day Another Boeing Disaster (Score 1) 182

It's like when someone gets in a car accident while driving a Tesla. If it doesn't make national news, it will definitely make local news, even if it was a fender bender. Meanwhile, can you imagine what news would be like if they reported on all car accidents? Then again, maybe that's preferable to what we have now :)

Comment Canada.... (Score 4, Insightful) 279

The Canadian government is just piling on carbon taxes right now. I am interested to see how many representatives they fly over there on the 12 hour flight. I will not be surprised if the number is 300 (seriously).

For all the alarms they are sounding, you would think a zoom meeting might be more appropriate.

I like https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fproton.me%2Fmail but I use the web interface for mail access. They do have a "bridge" application that you have to run locally that you connect your mail application to if you prefer using that. The last time I used it, it was pretty bad, but apparently it is quite a bit better now. You can make a free account to try it out at least.

As per https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fultrahd.highdefdigest.... has a review up and says:

"After a waxy edge-enhanced mess of a 1080p Blu-ray, Paramount continues their winning work on Trek by affording Generations an excellent 2160p Dolby Vision (and HDR10) transfer. From the clearly improved detail levels to the naturally cinematic film grain, this is an immediately clear upgrade. Makeup effects, details in the Enterprise D model, and Malcolm McDowell’s scar are all great enhancements to look out for. I was especially impressed with the practical effects model work of the saucer separation crash landing sequence. This film was in the sweet spot era where practical effects and models still were dominant over CGI and that sense of visual weight and volume is made all the more real in this excellent transfer.

HDR grade is right on point without overpowering contrast, blacks, or supping up the colors to unnatural levels. Black levels are deep with impressive shadow gradience to give the image a nice sense of three-dimensional depth. Whites are crisp and clean without blooming - most evidenced by Kirk’s bold white shirt under his uniform vest. Colors are bold with natural primary saturation with healthy skin tones. That said, it’s quite obvious that certain cast members had some tanning work done. All around, start to finish, this is another excellent Trek transfer."

I haven't seen the 4k versions myself, but this review seems to like them.
