The games >100 GB that precipitate people complaining their Internet is too slow seem to be COD and Starfield.
https://gamerant.com/pc-games-file-size-hd-space-biggest-huge/ The problem is often unsolvable. A 150 GB game will still take about 3.5 hours to download on a 100 Mbps connection. The gamer probably wants it to take 5 minutes, but even at gigabit speed it’s gonna take 20 minutes. I suspect we’re nearing the point where HDD write speed is a limitation, maybe not, I haven’t done the math.

Just like apparently Blu Ray is dying. I read that quad layer Blu Ray can hold 128 GB per disk, so most games could be distributed on one disc, but nobody does that. I suspect it has to do with the trend toward you don’t own anything, you rent and stream it, and there’s a kill switch. I’m surprised how often I mention some movie or TV show and people say it’s not available anywhere on streaming.

Maybe that was the point? Did you watch it in theaters? I've read that theater sound makes these audio situations significantly better and that home audio, obviously not as good quality, has difficulty getting dialogue out.

It did not attempt to do a very large portion of his life; just the years roughly 1961-1965. In the beginning he was very much in his folk-music formative years, and as his popularity grew the film depicts his frustration with the fame that he was not prepared for. It culminates at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival where he broke out with band and an electric guitar. Really struck a chord (no pun intended) with me as I was a teenager in 1965 and I distinctly recall the major controversy when he "went electric". The actors all did their own singing and instrument playing. Kudos for not trying to emulate Dylan too closely, but instead doing a resonable facsimile. I give it 4 stars. My only complaint was that much of the audio was much too loud and drowned out a lot of the dialogue; especially when Dylan was doing his trademark mumbling. -- bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
