    But which flavor of ProRes?
    If they are serious about the "Pro" it will be XQ4444 but we shall see.  I do notice that shooting in ProRes is not DoVi - it will likely be PQ/P3/D65 and still require grading during a mastering session.

    Scarlett says Apple employees are "not being heard." Just what is that supposed to mean? Examples, please.
    What it means is that management doesn’t give in to every whim of entitled millennials…
    Or management are a bunch of inflexible ass clowns and are trying to justify the expense of the "spaceship" so they deny all remote work requests.  Guess what geezers - people are done with the 90 minutes - 20 mile commutes twice a day.  You would think the tech industry would embrace this as they were the first to punt a whole class of jobs to India and Pakistan and often have offshore developers in the Baltic states. Millennials are able to perform in different conditions.  As a late X-er (early 80s) our whole generation has adapted to the boomers deciding to stick around a crap ton longer than their actual worth.  I like working with and managing millennials.  You can be straight and honest with them and they respond.  They don't like duplicity and rigidity.  They are also better developers than their older colleagues.

  • Ikea launches new HomeKit-compatible smart air purifier

    HEPA filters work.  They are in use anywhere that the air needs to be clean and hypo-allergenic - hospitals, etc.

    I’ll say it again.  Give me all the star trek movies in 4K.  And all the series.  Then I’m in.  Otherwise, nope.  
    The movies were recently restored to 4K and the physical discs have HDR on them.  It is likely those will make it to the commercial free tier.  Discovery and Picard are in HDR already. 

    The Original Series has been restored and is live on the site.  TNG, Voyager, Enterprise, DS9 were shot on video in standard def and doing a 4k Uprez on them without significant investment in restoration would look like crap.

    Hi churn and low number of paid content possibly due to lack of “normal” content.

    What is “normal content ”?  Simple: it’s content not dripping in left-leaning woke-ism.  About the only show that isn’t featuring LGTBQ characters/plot lines or black actors >13% of total is Ted Lasso.  Everything else is a democrat advert.
    You had to go there.  Is there a certain amount of comments you have to post on sites per day complaining about representation?  Not your cup of tea to see shows with less white people in them, fine.  Don't go and complain about it. Makes you sound kinda bigoted. 

    Going from this list: https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/originals/ I got to Losing Alice before I got to anything that resembled what you complained about.  Continuing past it yields nothing else aside from a Documentary called "Out on Television".  So one show has some LGBT (ladies love story) out of all of the scripted shows and one is documentary.  That's two shows with LGBT issues.  I count 7 shows either starring black people (Documentary or non-fiction) or telling black stories.  So a total of 9 which blacks or gays. 5 shows have women either the focus of the documentary or fiction program. We are at 14. That leaves 38 programs that are indeterminate (nature, documentary, or have white males as their leads).  Sorry that isn't enough for you.
    Great for you, your perception is that there is a reasonable balance. At least two commenters here think there isn't, therefore showing the content doesn't appeal to everyone. Doesn't mean you need to attack someone because their opinion doesn't match yours, which is apparently the correct one.
    One can say that the content available isn't their cup of tea without specifically pointing out their cognitive bias.  If one looks at the available content one can easily refute the poster's statistics.  All they end up doing is saying I don't like to see certain kinds of people on the screen.  If you have a prejudice against seeing on-screen representation that is more in line with demographics that makes the issue yours and not an indictment of the service itself.  Tossing around terms like "Woke" and incorrectly using the word Democrat when referring to the Democratic Party shows prejudice and ignorance and needs to be called out.  I'm not the one that injected that hot garbage into this forum but because it is there I feel like I can call it out.
