MeekerThanBeaker , to Movies in Childish Gambino - Bando Stone & The New World (Official Trailer)

From Lando to Bando.

I wonder what Mando has to say about this.

MeekerThanBeaker , to No Stupid Questions in Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms?

I am not a fan of The Big Bang Theory by any means, but removing the laugh track on any show will make the jokes less funny due to the pacing for edits. They hold on shots longer to add in laughs... this makes for long uncomfortable silences when laughter is removed. And timing is very important in comedy.

If someone removes the laugh track, they should also remove the long silences to give it a better chance. I don't think it would help TBBT much for me, but comedy is subjective.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Movies in Warner Bros. and Legendary Set Denis Villeneuve Event Film for 2026, Next MonsterVerse Movie for 2027

Ah. Yes. I was wondering why he would choose a MonsterVerse film. It didn't seem right to me. Turns out, he isn't.

MonsterVerse? The sand worms are coming to Earth!

I'm actually looking forward to a MonsterVerse movie directed by him. Could be really interesting.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Technology in Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp

Eh ... it's not spying. It can't even understand me when I'm talking to it.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Games in Beyond Good & Evil remaster arrives next week with "improved graphics", new in-game content, and more

I never had an issue with other games at the time... just this one. Played many Mario and Zelda games and the camera was fine on those.

On a side note, what's weird is that I used to always invert my vertical camera for every game, but all of a sudden, my brain changed on some game I was playing and now I no longer need to do that for anything else.

The last time I played this game I felt like the controls were off. Like the camera moving left and right were going in the wrong direction compared to other games. I couldn't change them in options. Hope they make that change because it was very awkward to play.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Technology in Crypto Scammers Are Targeting Trump’s MAGA Supporters

Pretty sure there is a Maga coin already.

MeekerThanBeaker , to No Stupid Questions in Why do teeth don't regenerate?

Teething 3.0.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Technology in Volvo recalls all of its 72K EX30 cars due to software bug that obscures speedometer

The least they could've done was include a heads-up projection display as an option.

I'll bet it'll be there in future models.

It doesn't help that they also just have the one screen.

They could easily have had a secondary display behind the steering wheel that shows only the important info... but no... they followed Tesla's model to cut costs with one screen that does most everything.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Technology in Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it - Gothamist

True. But also true is that a majority of scammers are simply not smart and/or English is not their native language. A phishing email/text that might look good to them, can look really bad to others.

But still, people still fall for the obvious phishing attacks. AI is going to make the phishing appear more legit.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Technology in Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email address

This is just for Home edition, yeah? Pretty sure Professional still allows you to create offline accounts without a Microsoft account before joining a domain.

MeekerThanBeaker , to Technology in Man accused of using generative AI to create virus in Japan 1st

Computer virus. Okay. Phew.

Though a computer virus could someday be just as deadly as a regular virus.

MeekerThanBeaker , to No Stupid Questions in Cable or adapter?

In my experience, in IT, cables are usually the way to go over adapters. Adapters tend to break more often than cables.

Someone else may offer a more thorough differing opinion... like perhaps a very high quality HDMI cable with a high quality adapter may be better than a mediocre off-brand standalone cable, but if the prices/brand are the same... I'd stick with the single cable.

Before USB-C became standard, we stuck with HDMI cables and then had different adapters on hand just for convenience, but if we knew a cable is going to be used in the same equipment for a long time, we'll try for the single cable.
