There’s so much and it’s not difficult to find…

I can’t say I’ve noticed a big enough difference to stop using liquid.

I wonder if this upsets tacky leather jacket guy

No it’s: So long, now arrested

I mean it’s not like the writing in that show is great either. It’s not anywhere close to being noir.

Video encoding and decoding is generally under the same category - video processing.

That makes sense. I guess I’ve just not been at the level were people call it that so that is interesting.

Like, right now, or have used (pretty long list)? My favourite is still After Effects just because of how used to it I am, but I seriously do not feel like listing all the plugins and extra apps (probably any professional knows about mocha/syntheyes or nuke). That’s my main, I’ve even learned to mostly skip premiere (still gotta use media encoder for obvious reasons). For 3d stuff and effects - Cinema 4D (FumeFX, xparticles, realflow, etc). Good enough, detective?

Doesn’t take a detective to know that you know more than me. I’m at a much much smaller scale, mostly just Houdini at this point. My boss would laugh at me if I mentioned XEON for the office haha. Apologies for being so hostile.

You put editing and watching YouTube under the same umbrella and then speak of using EYPIC and XEON CPUs?

What editing software do you use?

Which is heavy on the CPU and GPU…

You don’t know much about encoding or decoding either.

Everything you’ve said here let’s me know that you have no idea what you’re taking about. Lumping video editing with watching YouTube lmao.

Sub, English voice actors never feel like they fit the characters and either come off as overly cartoony or they don’t have enough energy.

American police would’ve murdered him instead.

The article is literally just the title?

I wasn’t trying to argue South Africa’s stance on Israel, I just thought that it was ironic to bring up their stance on Israel when the minister in the article is pro Israel.

My original point was that South Africa rarely does anything that doesn’t make it look like a fool and I think McKenzie being in charge of Arts and Culture is foolish. I assume you already know why the GNU exists? Because you’d know that they wouldn’t be in that position if the ruling party wasn’t allowing the country to crumble.

I know who he is. I’m not “muddying the waters”. I don’t get how you can appoint someone like that (a convicted criminal) to be the “Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture” after filling a case against Israel.

Ah yes of course. That one stance makes up for all the other bullshit South Africa does.

The Minister of Sports, Gayton McKenzie, didn’t seem to have any problem travelling to Israel in 2023 and 2025 to seek deals to get Israeli water tech to south Africa. He sent a delegation to go to Israel and meet it’s president, and guess what? They apparently found “no evidence of apartheid” there.

I don’t think there are many things that South Africa does that doesn’t make them look like fools.

They looks great!

I learnt the team “Point and shoot engineer” to refer to modern cinematographers/ photographers.

Pfft, Wireless key and mouse on a tray (definitely comfortable to do) ;)

It already is making things dramatically worse
