Anyone else have their browsers grind to a halt when loading this or nearly any other newspage? How do you kill the adware that's slowing everything down?

The best way would be to build a Pi-Hole. That blocks out any unwanted traffic in your entire home network before it even gets loaded.

Heck of a way to find out. Unless the kittens were rabid.


Alfonso Cuaron had to make a PSA about motion smoothing when his latest movie was released as a Netflix Original. I think Tom Cruise did too for the home video release of one of his movies.

We must make sure modern technology upholds the arbitrary frame rate standard set by some guy trying to take pictures of a horse in the 19th century.

Movies with high frame rate look fine if they're made for it, like the Hobbit movies. Otherwise it just looks weird.

There may be disagreement over what frame rate to shoot at, but everyone should agree that playback should be true to the source.

No one asked for the interpolation nonsense that every TV now ships with.

Yeah same. I'm open to the possibility of establishing a new normal, but digitally interpolating old stuff goes about as well as colorizing. Just doesn't look right.

Getting their buttplug hacked is probably a plus for the sort of people who wear them, right?

So that you have a use for the soundtrack for "Earthquake" (Now with Sensurround!). Run that baby through the hacked buttplug and wait for the user to start moaning like a bunch of mute monks being thrown into a woodchipper.
