So does DVD and can be bypassed just as easily these days

Oh all those full screen DVDs are in fact pan and scan just like VHS.

But both formats have DRM and sometimes the Blu-ray is basically the same price or even cheaper. Sure DVD was easier to crack but that’s not an issue these days.

It’s not even 480p, it’s 480i with a resolution of 720x480 regardless of whether the content is 4:3 or 16:9, the pixels get stretched one way or the other. That’s for NTSC discs, PAL discs have a higher 576i (720x576) resolution but the movie is sped up 4% cause it forces 25fps when it should be 24.

Blu-rays are great, DVDs not so much unless it’s an old title that was never released in 1080p

RIP to my 20 year old PC I guess

Yeah I can walk into the Macy’s next door essentially and they have a Toys R Us section with a Geoffrey statue and everything. Meanwhile there’s another mall not too far away that still has an open Sears and the Macy’s in that mall also has a Toys R Us section. They also had a brick and mortar store in my area during the holidays last year that will presumably reopen during the next holiday season as well.

But Toys R Us still exists. They’re in every Macy’s and still have a few brick and mortar stores as well.

Strongly disagree with the second part there. People like Mussolini deserved it.

I just use Chinese AI atp. Deepseek and Kimi.

Because they’re wiretaps. Insane that it took this long for people to understand this.
