This should be +5 Insightful.

How to explain this succinctly..

Real IMAX is 70mm, yes, but each frame is 15 perforations (perfs) wide. The film runs horizontal. And a robot picker picks the platter with the film and takes it to the projector (at least the one in the Mall of America in MN did)

Regular 70mm, like Super Panavision, is 70mm wide, by 5 perfs tall. The film runs vertical.

Nothing. Beats. Imax. Nothing at all.

These fools already have several storied 70mm names they could use.. Super Panavision, Todd-AO, etc etc.. but they will never, ever beat real Imax.

Problem is, real Imax is stupid expensive, and heavy, so it's mainly travelogues and stuff.

The stuff Nolan and others shoot on is just Super Pana -- but don't get me wrong, 70mm 5 perf is still so much clearer and sharper than 35, and has a very different look because the depth of field is shallower the bigger the film gets.

Super Pana is good enough.

That will help visualize it. real IMAX is a monster. Sooo much more surface area.

Hyper-v with the Hyper-V manager. It's kinda like VSphere but with different words and concepts. Using the same hardware ESXi was on. We just took a few machines and did it. Storage is the same SAN. I don't think we've gotten to building and testing clusters yet, but at least the creation and running of VMs is very similar to VSphere.

There's also Azure Local (was Azure HCI) and we also have built a little trial thing with it. All of it in its infancy, but they're running and doing useful things.

Also, we've had an azure footprint for a bit, so.. we've moved some loads to that, too.

'twas good knowing you, VMWare... you paid my bills for the past 20-something years. Never thought I'd see it in the graveyard that is Broadcom, along with Veritas and other ancient tombstones.

C'mon Slashdot editorbots.. the original story's still on the front page, and you duped it already?

Yes, I know, time-honored /. tradition, the dupes and all that... but c'mon. Give it a rest.

At least it's a technical article, and not one of your usual feeble attempts to further divide our country by posting ragebait political pablum.

So, so many of these lately, for the past year or two.

One may be inclined to think these are only Slashvertisements.

Is 404 also owned by Beez-Ex? (sic., to evade the lameness filter on that name)

Panic! Run around with head on fire! PANIC! DO IT! OBEY!!!

People are tired of hearing this same retread shit since the 70's.

I know I am.

Your downmods sexually arouse me. C'mon, gimmie that -1 Flamebait, you know you want to, like the fucking Pavlovian dogs you tree-fuckers are ! Do it, I need my 2 Minutes Hate!

You must be in Europe, yes?

Meanwhile, here in South Florida, we're having a cooler -- by a few deg F* -- summer than we have in the past 3 or so years. Much more rain, too -- back to normal, it seems. Past few years were very dry for us.

What is going on with you isn't what's going on everywhere.

People using normal comes-and-goes of the weather to frighten others into toeing their line are despicable. Not saying you are, but be mindful of that when you consume all the data on it.

I know, and that's the crux of my sarcastic reply. Oh woe is they who don't own 100% of the world smartphone market, that they can't get the US, too.

The World Is Not Enough. See, any reasonable person would indeed say "fuck that shit, they got plenty already."

Expect no sympathy here for Android. They already own the majority of the market worldwide. So what if they don't have all of it?

This will hold as much water as Titanic did. Android makers are whining when they already own the biggest slice of the pie?

'pal carajo con esa mierda.

No. Not "worked in the office just fine"

Bullshit. They suffered quietly. Not just the visibly disabled, the wheelhchair-bound that suffered.

Those who loathe crowds suffered. Those who loathed the daily commute suffered. Those who get home with their nerves in tatters after a day of bullshit suffered.

COVID's utter disruption showed worker and boss alike what can be done remotely. It exposed the modern office for the useless sham it is in the interconnected era.

To those who keep prattling on about RTO and how it's necessary: fuck you.

I'm not going back. You'll have to plug my casket into the network before I go back. I'd rather be dead than go back to a stupid office 5 times a week.

* laughs in dialog *

Nah.. it'll be the other team that does this.

You know, the one that had a reanimated cadaver "sign" paperwork he had no idea he was signing.

The one that lost to a convicted felon.

The one that hid a cancer diagnosis for so long it's bloody obvious he had it before 2020..

You know, that team. The one that aligns with the monsters throwing incendiary devices at people out during a peaceable assembly.

You people project so hard, we see through you -- everything you accuse our side of, you are actively doing.

The last four years are a fucking disgrace to the world. Biden, Jill Biden, Harris, et al should be tried, and shot, as traitors.

No, I did a cartoon double take while eating dinner while reading this.

Billions. Didn't know there was that much crap in the world to sell.

I see what you did there..

Wait wait wait.. wait..

Lemme get this straight -- Microsoft abandons year-based verison numbers like 2 decades ago, and then Apple starts calling things Pro and Max.

10 years later Dell starts doing the same with their hardware. Pro this and Pro Max that.

And now *Apple* is going to the long-defunct year version number?

We're definitely in 2025 B or something. I think the timeline diverged in 2008. Someone got the time car in 2008, went to some other year, and made it so 2025 would be .. this.

Nothing makes sense anymore. Up is down, left is right, good is bad, bad is good, truth is lie, lie is truth, and now we have iOS 26.

I'm a bit tired of living my life at several WTF's per hour.
