I saw a dude say Cheesoid was the worst skit Mitchell and Webb ever did once.

I remember how the "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" ads kinda sorta backfired because David Mitchell was playing the PC and came off too sympathetically while Robert Webb played the Mac as a tosser.

But even then, it felt like they were literal representatives, like Microsoft sent John Hodgman to represent them, and Apple chose Justin Long. The fact that we were supposed to unilaterally side with the smarmy douche of the obviously uncool, but practical, nerd pretty much galvanized me against Apple for a long time. I wish it hadn't, because if I had a macbook now, most of the poo poo I wanted to do would be way easier/.

Yeah those ads put me off Apple for a real long time. Now I love them and have had MacBooks for forever but I admit I may switch when my current one breaks due to their great new penchant for taking away a bunch of ports I use literally every day

Been a Mac user since 2002 but I bought a Thinkpad this year because the new keyboards are garbage. Also I thought John Hodgman was clearly the sympathetic one in the ads. Who the hell likes Justin Long.

It's not a matter of traffic prioritization, they are clearly different encodes. It's even more apparent with Showtime as Showtime doesn't even have 5.1 audio streams on their platform apps whereas streaming through Amazon does.

Arist posted:That reminds me of the guy who posted in the iZombie thread that Seattle has like a dozen murders a year and how funny it was that a single season might cover every single murder in the city. The real-life version of the "Devil in Hells Kitchen" probably being a guy complaining about a bar being too loud and a dozen cops showing up b/c they've got nothing else to do.

Amazon is really great for shows. I find that their movies library is somewhat hit or miss. Some movies have fine resolution but are strangely much darker than they should be. There are also movies that are not actually available in HD, such as Tarsem Sing's The Cell, which is like a bad DVD rip.

Rhyno posted:Amazon's awesome except for the way they organize their shows. Yeah, the UI leaves much to be desired. I bypass it by using the web to add things to my watchlist. That simplifies things a lot. I suspect that Amazon does h265 to any client that supports it (basically anything that is capable of streaming UHD) while the native solutions from the premium channels only do h264 since they don't want to manage compatibility on a device level. That would account for the quality difference.

Not enough to gamble 80 million on a gambit that, at most, would get press coverage and maybe $10000 of ad revenue. poo poo Yahoo! couldn't make Community profitable, and I'd wager that more people watched season 6 than would ever watch season 3 of Sense8.

I mean, as someone that wishes almost everyday for a second season of The Middleman or Clone High, I understand being excited at the prospect of a beloved cancelled show getting another chance, no matter how unlikely it seems. But porn websites have a habit of doing silly publicity stunts to try and steal traffic from one another, and even when it's things that are actually feasible they don't actually happen (link SFW).

Sense8 was so expensive in large part due to the huge international production, you could probably make it for a lot cheaper if you stuck to interiors and greenscreens instead of flying everyone all over the world to show off your Netflix budget.

Showtime had always been bottom tier in streaming quality with their apps behind Starz and HBO. The rips are likely recodings directly off the c band distribution satellites, before the cable companies have a chance to gently caress with them.
