Hey, Hulu subscribers in the U.S.

Can you fire up “Predator" (1987) on Hulu? From the quality of the movie as it plays on Hulu, does that look like an HD stream, or an SD stream?

tvaziri,
@tvaziri@mastodon.social avatar

This is wild.

On Safari and Chrome on the Mac AND on Apple TV 4K, I am absolutely being served SD versions of certain movies on Hulu, like "The Fifth Element”, "Die Hard" and “Predator”. (I'm not even saying an SD stream of the HD source. I mean an old SD transfer.)

When I view a modern TV show like “Shogun" or "Fargo", they're definitely HD.

Totally confusing!

My “dos and don’t’s” opinions on presenting“AI” at WWDC based on the messy competitors and the rumors so far.

For Moretex subscribers, Grey and I are watching and reviewing each of the Lord of the Rings movies.

This is my first time seeing these movies!

There are two special episodes available so far.

As well as these specials, you get ad-free longer episodes of Cortex.

If I want to use an Apple TV as a HomeKit Hub to help control wireless devices (like smart locks), does the Apple TV need to be physically close to those wireless devices or does it use your existing Wi-Fi network to connect?

(I’m going to using the Schlage Encode Plus)

tvaziri,
@tvaziri@mastodon.social avatar

Thanks, gang. Seems like the answer is:

if the device uses Wi-Fi, and as long as the Apple TV as a HomeKit Hub is on the same Wi-Fi, you're good. Proximity between the device and the Hub is not an issue.

Saw a clip of the Agatha series actors bragging that the show has very little CG. The magic was all…practical. Who cares? What is this obsession? CG is only an issue for the director and creative people on the movie and accountants, and if it distracts by looking unreal while watching a TV show or movie. An unhealthy focus that feels anti-VFX worker, when there’s so much VFX in media that nobody realizes. This series captures the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ttG90raCNo&t=937s
