Also; In the same scene in #Hackers, The digital clock is going REALLLY fast compared to Dade's typing speed. Also, it's at a super strange angle in the scene.

Based on the flickering and positioning; I'm guessing this was a time-lapse composite meant to demonstrate that he's there all night. It's also going at a fixed rate of ~60x (1 second is 1 minute).

Interesting detail in #Hackers that I never noticed before. While hacking OTV, Dade wears prescription glasses. I don't think his character wears them at any other time?

Screen capture from Hackers the movie where Dade Murphy is wearing prescription glasses.

@cyberseckyle I hadn't caught that; Thanks. But they're still forcing me to pay apple. 👎

@cyberseckyle yes and no, depends on when your subscription expires and where you live. You cannot renew an F1 TV sub in the US though.

@troldann I did them as separate steps, so if you want the deinterlaced 480p, I have it too.

@troldann nor I, but considering the source I'd say it achieved some pretty decent results. That text included.

@troldann Only fair to show the original frame;

@troldann
I haven't done anything with it; But I let my computer run through a de-interlace pass, then an AI upscaling pass;

It's not perfect, but it isn't bad either. You want?

How can anybody explain?

Trump says 'we expect casualties' after Iran strikes but 'in the end it's going to be a great deal for the world'

The SOB can cut health care and medical research and school lunch and education for Americans but BILLYUNS in ordinance and American lives for a "great deal for the world."

@troldann well that's cool. I hadn't checked my DVD discs. Now I can rip that to MKV. Good timing too I was just running out of projects to keep me busy.

@troldann yeah I wasn't sure if under pressure had been upscaled for the new 4K release, the remastering. But I know that Cameron had delayed for so long on releasing the remastered edition, that it only came out like a year or two ago.

I still have a pretty extensive physical media library, I might even have a DVD copy of Abyss as well.

@troldann no rush, I have all those spring yard start-up chores to take care of today.

I found an Amazon listing that was only for the disc three of the Blu-ray which had the special features, thought about snagging that.

@troldann I have not seen the docu, lots of folks talk about it as one of the best made. But I was under the impression it was relatively hard to find.

Now you're going to make me get out of my chair to go check.

@troldann In all fairness I'm doing it while cross-compiling ffmpeg soooo I have some free time.
