@techconnectify.bsky.social had an interesting video about that the other day. It was all about new DVD and Blue Ray releases kinda being garbage compared to older ones.

Some DVD re-releases got cheapened out in a weird way (or may not even be legit!)

Absolutely true. I just had to dig thru and fix another users "iMessage" settings to fix it on their iPad after an upgrade. Facebook also used to horrible with resetting things on each upgrade, but they're a bit better now.
The "enshitification" continues.

"Bot a bad version", eh? Kinda revealing that you're just an A.I., huh Sophie... Well prove you're human!

These are the ones I bought but they seem to be out of stock. I like them because they are tempered glass, not acrylic like some others.

You're full of it, Adrian! Just yesterday I heard some guy took a sip of hot coffee and spilled it, and the Barista would not fill it free! Total anarchy!

That's very frustrating. Are you obeying out Google Overlords by allowing all of their advertising? I have heard that people who don't accept the "mid roll" ads get pushed to the bottom

I love that little stand. They sell them on Amazon and are the perfect height even for the big A1000 drives

I hear this all the time that people's views are way down. I suspect more than a little of it is due to the popularity of the short form videos now.

It's unbelievable how young Roy Orbison was when he died. What a loss!

Reports of my Demise have been greatly exaggerated... I'm here, and working on a new video for the 40th anniversary of our beloved #Amiga - and I think I should be back on track and making regular videos in November.

I'm flying into Portland on October 27th. Not sure if I should bring a Kevlar vest and survival gear, or a refillable coffee cup and a fanny pack. Any advice? 🤣🤣🤣

I saw him pop back up on YouTube. I'm surprised he did not at least change his username

What really weirded me out is when he reviewed the A500 Mini. He did this absurd ASMR trance thing listening to the on board background music like it was a holy angelic choir... And it was not even Amiga generated music...
His stuff is just Drama, fluff and beautiful people to appease the algorithm

I use "paint.net" myself. It has several plugins that support .IFF files and even does a nice job with EHB, HAM6 and HAM8 files.
I don't use Adobe products because their subscription model makes me barf.

There were about 3 to 5 million Commodore 128's sold. Not bad, really

Look on the bright side! Like every other "update" it will make it slower, remove features you love and probably corrupt your saved data!

I have had difficulty even bringing myself to watch the videos about it. He has rubbed me the wrong way for years... I don't know... He plays the algorithms too much and does not come across as genuine.
