HAH!  25K to be an intern on a movie that nobody in their right mind would want to be associated with unless they were already trying to get on the wingnut welfare train...

I honestly suspect it’s either that these companies bought the equipment for this on the cheap and they’re just passing it around OR they really do like that sort of ‘Hallmark movie’ style where again, I wouldn’t be surprised if all their equipment was bought 20 years ago and rather than purchase new RED cameras or…

I agree it deserves attention as any other form of sexuality does but how does it work in the form of a drama where it isn’t viewed as an explicit or implicit negative to a romantic/sex life? I know asexuality can trend both ways, lacking a passion for romance or sex or both but what makes somebody want to portray…

I stopped reading when you opened up on asshole line.

Given the cost difference, they’re likely to stop the large scale shipping to commercial customers a while before they switch, steering clients to either wait or inform them of their intent to discontinue.  Then again, they might just keep a support team for a while, like I said, a few years is realistic.  

This. I fully expect there never was any one ‘Q’ but a mishmash of players who posted in the name of. I never took a deep dive on it because it’s not really my field of research but I took a passing interest in reading some of the posts and they all feel similar but the tone and some slight grammar changes between…

I assumed legacy support but honestly, that would probably only last a few years with some minor security updates.  Apple has no particular reason to keep legacy components around, they’re a hardware company.

Rock hasn’t been dominant in the US since the 1970s.  There are a dozen different reasons why, the collapse of musical instrument training and poverty, a rise of R&B and Hip-Hop that solidified around various groups, the low-cost entry of electronica in the 2000s.  But yeah, Rock isn’t a relevant field in the US,…

I’m sure they’ll be killing it by the end of the 2020s.  ARM seems to be the future simply because the overwhelming amount of research and chasing in ARM tech.  I’m remember reading that ARM will meet x86 with the x64 extension sometime in the late 2020s but at this point, top-end ARM is about even with bottom end x86…

I thought they merged the two officially or was intending to?  I imagine when they move to full convergence they’ll have to separate the walled garden aspect of mobile from desktop but that gets complicated because then iOS is open to 3rd party apps, something Apple is very opposed to from a business perspective.  It…

I never recommended a Mac to anybody who needed something more than e-mail or artistic products. A well-maintained PC was pretty easy to maintain over a Mac post-Win 98b. Really, by the time XP hit, I could never tell somebody in good conscience to buy a Mac over a cheaper PC.

I never worked in artistic endeavors, I…

I’m sure ARM is going to surpass x86 with x64 extensions at some point. Is it going to be 2021? Not likely. I think most industry experts guess sometime this decade. But ARM isn’t going to suddenly change our OS choices, atleast for desktop use because Windows is pretty entrenched in the business world. I’m not…

A card produced and planned a year out that was more or less leveraging some toxic masculinity holdover and punching up at the largest entertainment act on the planet that happens to be Asian is a bit much.

Macs were basically and remain ‘artistic’ devices where photoshop and other tools played well because they were resource hogs in the 1990s and early 2000s so Apple’s OS which swapped the majority of the RAM to whatever task was running in front actually made those programs really efficient.

Now with nearly every…

It depends on if the machine blocks non-proprietary software use. Having lawyers isn’t necessarily an instant victory as a good consumer product attorney can win and get their entire cost paid for by Cricut.

The problem for cricut is, are they selling you a machine or software? If you’re saying the machine uses…

You can get a 10-year mortgage if the remaining purchase price is significantly smaller. Abe’s ‘crooked gameshow’ house sells for 60-70% of the sales price of Evergreen Terrace and they may not have a reason to extend the mortgage significantly.

I’m not doubting it could be somewhere in the mid-Atlantic region and the multiple references to upstate NY are hilarious (I think several of the original writers are from there) but they also reference the capital of the state as ‘Capitol City’ in the early seasons and generally Springfield being founded…

Because he’s a fucking monster in his 80s who never got punished for his crimes and has no actual recourse?

I used to drive through Nashville so many times to visit home when I was teaching in New Orleans, I wish I had known this thing existed...I would have definitely gone to visit it.

He got a job in the pre-internet world of journalism, when you basically showed up with the ad in hand and if you could type and string together words in a decent write up you were hired.  I remember being in grad school with a journalist who came from that era (he was in his 50s to my 20s in the mid-2000s).  Nice…
