What annoys you? (2 Viewers)

There’s a certain point where the difference becomes imperceptible to the human eye and I’m guessing 8k falls squarely within that category.

Wrong !!!

We need more pixels to watch 8K or higher resolution for porn !

Honestly, I don't need to see everyone's razor burn, stretch marks, or butt acne in UHD.

Also annoying: the kid in Walmart last night, a few days past Christmas, begging his parents to buy him a new toy.

At that point, VR is the next evolution.

I feel bad about this, but I have been watching CNN and MSNBC a lot lately, and absolutely can't stand the child who is the spokesperson for Shriner's hospital. Talk about a high pitched whinnying voice! I know he can't help it, but he is hard to take. (I also have to keep my thumb on mute for the woman getting "so much more" from the Mesathelioma book!)

You’re not the only one. I hate that those Shriner commercials turn the kids into actors. Let them be real kids. I always zip thru them.

People who scream bloody murder if a BR/4K/DVD release of a film has the video tampered with in any way yet whine if they don't get a remixed surround sound track and don't say a word if the original audio track is nowhere to be found.

This type of "scream bloody murder" behavior isn't just restricted to dvd/bluray/4Kbluray.

In a more general case, this is standard operating procedure in ANY niche which attracts an extreme hardcore crowd. Such hardcore folks are addicted to yelling "SCREAM BLOODY MURDER" constantly. It is what gives them any and all "meaning" to their lives.

(At its core, it is another form of being a rageaholic).

No insert, no sale!

No insert, no sale!

I basically use "no bluray = no sale" and "no 4Kbluray = no sale", largely as a reverse engineered "jedi mindfuck" to trick myself into NOT buying a particular movie.

This significantly reduces a lot of clutter of dvds/blurays which I end up only watching once or twice (or never). After two years or so, eventually I end up watching such movies on basic cable channels or network tv, largely confirming such titles have very little to no rewatch value for me.

Leaving a voicemail and one of your dogs starts barking very loudly.

 

[Kevin Hewell]

Many times that can't be helped. Your bobo wants your attention all on him.

The fact that I am trying to renew my Play station plus subscription and The website is just Spinning as I am trying to update my payment method

 

[jcroy]

Paid subscriptions is what turned me off from video games forever entirely.

To a lesser extent, I can deal with paid cable or streaming services. Though I would prefer not to.

 

[TJPC]

We recently had to change our e-mail address when our small cable company was absorbed by a huge one. This meant I had to go on websites and change my profiles etc. My question is why is it so easy and quick with some companies, where as some you have to be an astrophysicist? One or two had to be called, because they were impossible to figure out on line. I DO love being on hold for hours of course!

OK, I'm a little rusty, but here goes:

When did Facebook and Facebook Messenger become such a slogfest with the constant slowing down of loading webpages? It's so bad now, that I'll often have to reload Facebook links that I click on in Messenger. I get so tired of seeing that yellow "Slow Down" bar that gives you the "Stop It" and "Wait" options, the latter being almost never a good idea!

Facebook? Facebog is more bloody like it!!

CHEERS!

Ya know Tony, I think Mr. Spock put a Vulcan hex on Facebook at the direction of Andy Griffith to remind us all that technology is open to imperfection

Having to be up earlier to enjoy fresh coffee, since our son has been working, and needs that 5:30 am pick me up.

This is admittedly, a small price to pay for our son currently having a job that he loves. I guess I might be mellowing a bit in my impending old age!

CHEERS!

Our downstairs heat pump went kaput during the night. At least the house is insulated well enough that it’s still retaining some residual heat from yesterday and the high today will be in the upper 50s. The joys of homeownership.

Off and on construction noise from Apartment Buildings being erected next door!
