I'm halfway through the sequel. The physics are a lot harder to follow. Prob a bit harder in general, but I also think it's because I only have a "youtube" understanding of these concepts while I had a real understanding of most of the stuff from the first book like 4d geometry.

My understanding of 4d might have spoiled a big reveal that's coming up though.  ::)

HALO: Season 2, Se7en 4K release delayed to 2025, the challenges of film preservation in the digital age & more

Quote
"Thank you for your pre-order of Se7en 4K. We are thrilled for you to see it beautifully remastered in UHD. We are working behind the scenes to bring you the most pristine version of the film possible. To that end, we will be shifting the release to 2025. We appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to sharing the product with you in the near future."

Kind of wild that a remaster of a movie in 4K gets delayed by 7+ months.

Cool story but such a specific situation. Nowadays a neighbor with starlink could barter movie streaming in the same way.

Reddit - Journalist looking to talk to people who collect physical media



Today:

The Guardian: "The film fans who refuse to surrender to streaming: 'One day you'll barter bread for our DVDs'"

Quote
When a hurricane struck Florida in 2018, Christina's neighborhood lost electricity, cell service and internet. For four weeks her family was cut off from the world, their days dictated by the rising and setting sun. But Christina did have a vast collection of movies on DVD and Blu-ray, and a portable player that could be charged from an emergency generator.

Word got around. The family's library of physical films and books became a kind of currency. Neighbors offered bottled water or jars of peanut butter for access. The 1989 Tom Hanks comedy The 'Burbs was an inexplicably valuable commodity, as were movies that could captivate restless and anxious children.

"I don't think 99% of people in America would ever stop to think, 'What would I do if I woke up tomorrow and all access to digital media disappeared?' But we know," Christina told me. "We've lived it. We'll never give up our collection. Ever. And maybe, one day, you'll be the one to come and barter a loaf of bread for our DVD of Casino."
Not often I see a journalist reaching out through Reddit.

The headline sounds a little silly to me. It's a line from a hurricane survivor.
