Sony Retires Its Last 4K Blu-ray Player in Japan, PS5 Is All That's Left

What I'm going to miss the most about the loss of DVDs and Blurays is movie extras.

One main reason I bought so many movies on disc was getting to watch deleted scenes, bloopers, directors cut, directors commentary, cut scenes and more. Even the silly custom menus.

All of that stuff is now a lost art. Everything evolved into a consume then move on race to move onto the next thing.

Tiktok, vines and shorts. Massive attention span decreasing content in a race to feed dopamine.

I reget not buying more stuff on disc. I also feel into the streaming pit of "oh I can stream everything now". I never got SG1 complete saga on disc. Would've been great to get deleted scenes, bloopers and all that.

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves.

I see this as a feature most people wouldn't actually use.

Only use case I'd have for it is wanting a game to render at higher specs while travelling at like a hotel.

I bought a steam deck for a vacation when it came out. Used it on the flight and that's it. Never played games except at the airport so I was fine rendering at the steam deck.

fuck cars and live a little

This needs to be updated.

Getting hit by a pickup truck at 30 MPH is similar to getting hit by a Honda Civic at 120 MPH for kinetic energy.

That's besides the fact that pickups have a much taller hood vs sedans so there are significantly higher rates of head/internal injury.

Taller cars and trucks are more dangerous for pedestrians, according to crash data

America is fucked

This is a funny clip and an accurate depiction of NYC congestion.

But, I live in a major city and we make way for ambulances. If it's this bad we'll end up with civilians running red lights or cops on motorbikes to unfuck gridlock.

I myself ran a red light last week in rush hour to GTFO when I hear sirens. Just turn on my hazards, slow roll into the red light. Cars were already stopping for me so I was safe, then pulled over.

This is really just making fun of NYC traffic and how fucked it is. The delivery makes it extra funny since we rarely get such an animated German on the front page.
