>To understand IMAX, it helps to know how movies are captured in the first place. Many are shot digitally, as it's cheaper and more convenient than using film. However, many filmmakers still want, well, film

The illogical part about this process is that they convert the shot film to digital, they add CGI and color correction and then they print back the digital version to....film.

So the whole point of shooting a Hollywood movie on film today is because some directors like....film. There is no practicality/cost/reasoning to it.

Because writing manifestos is easy and making a browser is proper hard work ?

Tiling is old news, bring on scrollable window managers.

I honestly think scrollable VM is the future of window management. It just make sense to arrange windows like that instead of cram multiple opened windows in a fixed area.

Why do i get this faulty patch if i'm not even using Bitlocker ?

Also how the heck does something like this happens ? Did MS forgot the size of the WinRE partion which THEY created ?

Old and pointless article. Since then they "won" the FTC case and purchase Activision Blizzard.

Nobody spends 70 billions only to "exit" the gaming business couple of months later.

>According to the ruling, DDL-Music has no other purpose than to share pirated music and Cloudflare plays a central role in making the site available.

And if they switch DNS providers what will they do ? +File a lawsuit for each DNS provider? Makes no sense to "sanction" the DNS provider because of the website content.

Also one other thing that plays a "centrol role" in making pirate websites available are electricity companies which provide power for servers. Shouldn't they sue those too ?

>In addition to stopping its services to DDL-Music as a customer, Universal also wanted Cloudflare to block the site on its public DNS resolver 1.1.1.1.

Bunch of clowns...

One extra reason to never use the ISP DNS services. Just switch to Cloudflare and never look back.

Yeah, you're switching browsers not 3D modelling software.

It's easy people. Switch to Firefox today.
