Eh, I'd rather the remake makes some changes, otherwise what's the point of just doing the same thing again. Generally speaking the closer the remake is to the original the less value it adds. Sometimes these changes work and sometimes they don't but I'd rather they take a swing. Like Psycho or Funny Games or Oldboy or anything Disney has done in the last decade are exactly like the original and feel completely pointless. Even when they're done well like the Ikiru remake Living they just feel a little hollow.

All this being said, I think the most successful ones are where they have a completely new take from the ground up. Compare the new Planet of the Apes remakes to the 2001 Tim Burton one. The new ones go in a whole new direction and feel like they matter whereas the Burton one was a complete failure. Scarface and Oceans 11 also come to mind as successful remakes because the director got to put their on flair on the story.

The only time it really sticks out to me is when your character goes to Bing for their search needs.

PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.

Same. I'm still primarily a Plex user for the player (it's just easier for sharing libraries with everyone) but I love the arr stuff. Just got readarr setup for audio books and audiobookshelf for the player which is really nice.

Probably my favorite feature of the arr suite is in Radarr and list subscribing. I've got mine connected to some good letterboxd lists along with things like tmdb popular to keep my library up to date with recent stuff. Also there's some podcasts I listen to like The Rewatchables. I just subscribe to the lists of movies on letterboxd and I can easily keep up with the podcast.

Exactly. Furthermore they'd probably just include it in those instructions "Step 1: when the box pops up with clipboard press allow"

I wish those worked for all the mirrors too. At least mine won't do that anyway

Exactly, copy requires a click but there's no rule that the copy button has to look like anything particular

Is this a reference to someone?

Probably throttled for free and paid if you want the speed to stream video. Still though, I'd take that. Would be great for just checking messages and emails and stuff.

I don't remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restaurant called "I Porchettoni" after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It's not far from here but I can't seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6

Don't know the guy, just thought his jacket would look cool in a picture with the bricks and graffiti

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap UPS

We were traveling through Malta in 2018 when I came across this. According to the locals it had crashed up on shore about a month prior. They didn't know what to do so they tied it off until they could come up with a solution. My personal favorite of the photos I took. The two guys below were exploring the ship. Thought it would ruin the shot but it ended up adding some good scale.

 

I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results.

Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag.

Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing,

MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine.

Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

 

Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder.

My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast.

Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices?

EDIT

After some looking around Kodi might be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further.

EDIT 2

The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution
