    Press Release WHV Press Release: The Departed (2006) (4k UHD SteelBook)

    Well crap, my Steelbook arrived today with a nicely dented back cover. Amazon shipped it in a paper envelope with a negligible amount of padding. For $30, it’s going back.

    Hardware Review Sony UBP-X800M2 UHD Blu-ray Player Review

    A pretty good, albeit long article about disc cleaning. Even if a disc looks flawless to the naked eye, a thorough cleaning of a problem child is not a bad idea. https://bobpariseau.com/blog/2018/7/26/suffering-individual-disc-playback-freezes-clean-the-disc

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    Unfortunately, my 2015 911 can’t tune to 308. Deep Tracks was one of my preferred channels so this does indeed piss me off.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    My wife and I attended an IMAX showing (or technically LieMAX I guess) on Sunday morning at 10:35am. I was surprised that the theater was full or nearly so. A friend pointed out that 8/6 was the date that the first A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Very unexpected coincidence.

    Formula One and Indy 500 this weekend-how to watch

    Indy is always OTA, at least for the race itself. That said, I seem recall as I kid it was tape delayed. Without Googling I don’t know when it went live.
