TOS had no CGI, everything was shot on film one way or another. TNG's only CGI were cutscenes, there was no mixing of CGI and actual footage. Hence every scene shot was shot with film which is simple to convert to HD.

The problem was actually very specific to that area. Before the nineties, pretty much everything was shot in film, which can be converted to HD quality (assuming 35mm or better film).

In the nineties, CGI started to become commonplace. However it was still very computationally expensive, as in minutes per frame rendered. So they rendered everything only SD format. Most action scenes were still shot in film, but when editing they would overlay the CGI and again render the final output to SD only. So during the (relatively) short time window where CGI was new and HD wasn't a thing yet, all content produced can never realistically be made available in HD. While all content before/after can.

(You could still redo the editing process of course and render CGI in HD, but that is such a crazy amount of work assuming the source material even still exists, that it will likely never be done but for the most desirable content)

Wouldn't be the first application to first build a large user base, and then find a way to monetize it (probably get gobbled up). It is a very well known brand and it already is widely used as slack-for-personal-life. They may want to make it more accessible to more people, which appears to be exactly what they're about to do.

The next patch level will perhaps solve this greed business.

I feel said wizard's been slacking lately.

Duke Nukem Forever saw the light of day. But let's not hope it will be as big a disappointment

It specifically mentions the filename extension (.mp3), the encoding standard had been defined far earlier indeed and was originally implemented for CD-I: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Newer revisions supposedly have this fixed. You shouldn't need to have to use a custom dock for any of this.

Whow..generally you look for the opposite. Does the candiate bother to get the requirements clear, or do they dig themselves into a hole? If it's an assignment that you are just suppposed to turn in without any interaction, then you're free to make assumptions and put clarification in comments of course.

There's nothing wrong with combining both. Commuting without a personal 1-person car is a big deal. But you can still haul stuff. Would you be opposed to a hypothetical future where you can do the latter with a 1-person car that you do not own but offers most of the conveniences? It stops at your front door, it drops you off where you need to be, and it has space to haul your stuff when you go back. Once cars are fully self driving (which admittedly for scenarios like these still seems way way off) that would be great. The cars can go park themselves somewhere out of sight and the streets can be free of them.

Not everyone, but even say 10% would help.

Yes, that is 'fair'. Except for the suburbs in metropolitan areas as they would greatly benefit from good public transport since most residents work in the city center anyway. If you can get to a station within 5 minutes walking of your house, and your work is also within similar walking range, then I bet many people would think twice before taking their car. Looking at home values in metropolitan areas, proximity to such stations directly translates into higher values.

I do hope that remote working is here to stay for those that want to and can, as that allows for some more healthy spreading and less concentrating into a tiny surface area. That is a *real* way to save time and energy.
