Honest Trailers | Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (S1)
It is getting S2.
All pretty much correct, but I’m still enjoying it. I hope it gets renewed.
Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal
Where did you hear it's ending? As hard as it is to imagine a S3 watching S2's finale, it's not officially cancelled (but nor renewed).
Even if so, I'm not sad. I don't mind any good series ending of its own terms, when it reached a story arc's natural conclusion. And S2's finale certainly felt like a Tartakovsky story's endpoint.
An incredible series, even better than Samurai Jack. Looking forward to new (ad)ventures from Taratkovsky, his storytelling chops is insane.

Animaniacs S2 | NYCC First Look Clip
I still like the original Animaniacs more than the new/current one. Was S2 better?
Animaniacs is one of the best recent reboot of them 80's toons. Far better than Looney Tunes, He-Man Thundercats, Voltron and other reboots.

Citicorp Center | NYC skyscraper saved by a student question
I suspect that's the worst case scenario counting everyone in the 10 block radius evacuation zone. They do say in the video that to get that figure they need to assume that the building failure would lead to the failure of some surrounding buildings (how many people would you assume would be at Bloomingdales?).
p.s. The estimate is from the Red Cross, and was quoted in the BBC two program The Works S2 ep 1 All Fall Down in 1996.
Interesting vid. But I am skeptical of the 200k casualties thing.

I assume this is a spoiler for S2 too since I am not done with it (just finished its E5 last night).
Your phone is always listening
Slashdot had a post about an upcoming (about 1 year out) phone that can run pretty standard Linux distros. I took interest because I'm very annoyed about how UNconfigurable android is.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, very old by now, but hardware wise it still works fine. Software wise, it is shit. Android apps are massively bloated compared to when the phone was new, so the "system" partition of the phone is too small to install anything other than like 1-2 apps. From what I can tell, rooting might not help because there are still standard partitioning requirements? I dunno. Anyway, it is a big mess compared to a desktop, where I can partition things any way I want (which works great if you know what you are doing).
Anyway, I don't want to shill for Purism, the company that will be making the phone in the Slashdot article (for one thing, the phone is still a year or so away from final production), but they seem to be doing things right. They DO have some laptops on the market now, which apparently include a relevant feature mentioned in the write-up about their upcoming phone: hardware kill switches for the microphone, camera, and WiFi/Bluetooth.
If you read the ToS (hah! as if) for things like Facebook's app or the phones / OS themselves, you might see that you are "agreeing" to this kind of
data collectionspying. If that sets the bar for "good" behavior, imagine what the bad guys (NSA, other agencies, state actors, unscrupulous advertisers, malware producers, etc.) can and will do. That's why any software solution is dubious. That's why electrical tape over your webcam is better than assuming that the record light is trustworthy. That's why a hardware kill switch is a good feature if you're concerned about this (like me).Here's links to:
an article about the hardware kill switches in Purism's laptops, and
an article about their upcoming phone the Librem 5
I don't own any of their hardware. I don't like paid shills. That being said, I'm interested in what they are doing.
Gaslighting: Abuse That Makes You Question Reality
People like to think mind tricks are fun and harmless, but it's really an inexcusable violation.

Hodor makes fun of Apple in Samsung ad
The Galaxy Tab S2 (and the iPad) has a 2048x1536 (not 1080p) screen, but it's not the resolution they're bragging about. Samsung uses OLED screens, which offer far better picture quality than IPS LED. The contrast, color reproduction, and viewing angles are way better than any IPS LED screen.
Display Mate rated the S7 screen rated as the best they'd ever tested. ([url redacted] I really want to get an OLED TV someday, but they're so expensive... Someday...
Edit: It won't let me post urls, so you'll have to google the display mate review I guess...
Uhhh... your shit is 1080p like everyone elses, fatty. i tablet is just fine.
