I’m with you, my original point was that I wasn’t aware of any rips that fot OPs criteria, and that they might be better off doing that legwork themselves.

Hey I’m right there with you, I have the bluray releases for mine. OP though is after a specific version, which I think was ever available in HD.

That’s where I’m not sure. According to wikipedia, no. So then yeah, laserdisc would provide the best image for those releases at 425, but a PAL laserdisc would give 440, in contrast to VHSs NTSC resolution of 240. That said, the 90s release was itself a 20th anniversary remaster of the originals, though allegedly there exists a copy for long term preservation that was never released. But, I’d have sworn that the 20th remaster saw a limited release on DVD, but that would again be something to be found on eBay or from a collector if it exists.

Honestly your best bet is to find a DVD/VHS box set and rip them yourself. Everyone keeps the 1080 versions these days at a minimum, and i don’t know if those versions were ever release in HD, though here’s hoping some can come in with Cunningham’s law.

Encryption won’t do anything is your real IP address is exposed. A VPN covers that. Most ISPs don’t care, they just have to forward those nasty letters and may shut off your internet if pressured. Rightsholders will attach to the swarm, note all the connected IPs, and then go after the ISPs to get to the users. You have to obfuscate your personal IP somehow.

And sure I can see paying being an issue for some, but there really isn’t much other way. As for use, they’re no harder to set up that a torrent client.

I don’t know if it’s broken, just slanted to favor industry as intended. It’s amazing what happens when it becomes a job seekers’ market though, and why corporations hate it when the labor market is hot in workers’ favor since they don’t have to play these bullshit power games when there are companies lining up to accept candidates.

That screwy spacing up top is Facebook nudging over to make room for Instagram. It’s just taking a minute because Facebook is a bloated and attention-whoring piece of shit.

Y’all hear that? It’s our fault companies, particularly good companies, raised their prices to obscene levels because we kept buying them! Like we had a choice.

That’s some clear mud you’ve got there, who’s your mud guy?

This timeline is just plain dumb lol

I’ll be honest, the 3 times I’ve seen it were Samsungs and purchased at box stores. The rest I have no firsthand experience, but I’ve seen enough people bitching about it online.

Good question, I’ve heard rumors that they’ll eventually get upset and throw an impassable splash screen until you reconnect, but I’ve never seen it myself.

Not sure about LG. But it also depends on model as well afaik. Most Samsungs I know that were bought via Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, etc had that issue, but one of my commercial clients bought a couple and it was a non-issue, so ymmv. I typically like Sonys, but I also have a reseller account with them through my wholesaler and get them significantly cheaper than retail.

The problem is that some TVs (cough Samsung) won’t allow you to even use the thing as a monitor until you allow it online.

Yeah, how dare anyone want even a little mindless relaxation after being overworked in today’s hectic world.

What’s the deal with PIA?
