  • after staging a protest

    They did a bit more than that:

    While a diversionary group set off fireworks outside, spray-painted slogans such as “Shut Elbit Down” on the building’s facade, and threw red paint, the five main participants gained access to the laboratory and office spaces on the third floor through a side window. There, they deliberately destroyed computers, telephones, and sensitive laboratory equipment and measuring instruments. The activists filmed the action to share it on social media.

    I don’t support the Israeli military industrial complex and their ongoing genocide by any means but the framing in this article seems purposefully misleading to me.


  • A couple of questions: Why are you capturing the VHS footage at 16:9 and at 60 FPS? Seems like it’s just a waste of space?

    I also looked at the cost of the hardware, the Magewell Capture Card and the RetroTink in particular seem exorbitantly expensive for the advertised features? I don’t see much of an advantage of going this route vs using a mid-tier 100$ USB capture card and doing a pass with a software-based upscaler afterwards?

    Not hating or anything, I’d genuinely like to see your perspective.











  • It’s nowhere near as expensive in the EU but it can be pretty close to the price of fuel in some countries. I regularly travel the same 700 kilometers through Germany and if you don’t book weeks in advance the fuel expenditure is often less than the price of the train ticket. Not to mention the comfort of a car is comparable to a first class seat which is even more expensive. But I guess you’d have to factor in maintenance as well.
