Hey everyone thanks for clicking on the topic. Im asking what you know about Tik Tok the video app, especially if you use it, I just want to know how it works and do you like it. I want to start recording the Film Club wheel drawing LIVE! I think it would be so much fun to have people tune in for the live thing. So if you think Tik Tok would work for that...drop me a line or if you want to share your Tik Tok, just paste the link in here. Thanks.

The targetted cost per month was said to be USD$80 for customers, but at what speed? Their planned 25mb or 50mb download idk. They are seeking to put up 30k satellites as the service is targering rural areas and are registering a beta signup for early 2021. Starlink is also seeking a grant out of Gov initiative of a $16 billion fund set aside to help modernize rural areas digitally where the authorities are holding them to account as it comes to a 100ms latency cap. Its definately something to watch & if you allow yourself to actually think outside the box & pull the trigger & use this service it might change your internet experience from night to da…

'My thoughts & assumptions' on this is its going to be cheaper to manufacturing, lower energy use while getting a bright colour acturate screen, lower input latency seeing it doesn't have to spend time filtering colours, expecting image burn in over the years while also expecting it to be more than affordable and thinner & lighter to ship with more space to pack in a shipping container. At the worst they'll charge a heavy price for the research & such if there is no competition working on one in the shadows.

During today's "Road to PS5" presentation, PS5 lead system architect Mark Cerny ran through a lot of technical details regarding Sony's upcoming hardware. Though the event seemed geared more towards developers than consumers, it did clarify some information about one of the topics gamers are passionate about: backwards compatibility. Cerny revealed that PS4 (and PS4 Pro) backwards compatibility is a native part of the PS5 chipset, and that it isn't a scenario like the PlayStation 3's backwards compatibility, which essentially just included a copy of the PS2 in every console until the feature was removed in later iterations. "Once backwards compatibility is in the con…

Knowing which version to purchase from the images provided. The item to fix your controller issue is called Conductive Silicone Rubber Pad. Make sure the black circles on them are shiny as its the conductive graphite that gives good response when pressed . It solves your R2/L2 problem not giving 100% button press when racing for a few $. The 1st image below is for the original launch PS4, the compatibility types is JDS 001/ JDS 011. notice the rubber pads I circled in red & compare them to yours. The image below is for the controller that came out when the slim PS4 & PS4 Pro was launched, notice the blue light bar in the touch …

PS4 Constantly Ejecting
by Potato- 2 followers
- 2 replies
- 804 views
My PS4 has been constantly ejecting discs for no reason, or constantly trying to eject when there's no disc in it. I've read this is a common problem, just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem, and what did you do to fix it? I had rare occasions where this would happen months ago, but recently this happens more often, and this week it's been pretty much constant. Sony has a quick fix guide for it, which obviously does nothing. I also pulled the rubber foot out underneath the eject button. Is there any way to fix it without having to take the thing apart?

PSN Store Digital Games Removed
by Smurf- 2 followers

So i will use this as an example, recently Drive Club was removed from certain regional psn stores and for the U.S its off in 2020. I remember when a Ninja Turtle game was removed from the store sometime back, I was thinking it's probably going to happen slowly but surely with AAA games but not anytime soon. Well my question is how would you handle it if a game you enjoyed was about to meet the chopping block but you want to continue playing it? Whats your contingency planning. Will you download it on a external hard drive, would it be a solid state hard drive, buy the disc version or does it not matter to you at all?

Post your headset and why you like it, it may help others decide what to get. I'll start by telling what I started with which was a simple $20 bluetooth for my phone. It pairs with the PS3 easily and worked/s quite well. I still have and will be using it again when I record gameplay so I can chat and still record the audio. Highly recommend this method if you are tight on funds and looking to chat with other gamers. I went to the Sony PS Pulse Elite headset and it is a world better for picking up subtle ingame sounds. In Ghost Recon Future Soldier it was wonderful for picking the direction of gunfire or footsteps due to the surround sound built in the I couldnt get fr…

IC Graphite Thermal Pad

- 856 views
Warning: IC Graphite is electrically conductive! Any contact with electrical components while the device is turn on might result in permanent damage. Right out the gate let me say this, the brand Thermal Grizzly Karbonaut is superior pushing 62.5 watts per Kelvin vs IC Graphite's 35 W/m K thermal conductivity. Then there is the Heavy Duty Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Thermal Grease Paste Compound which gives a wapping 73W/mk. Its a liquid metal that gives up to 10 degree temp drop, your console will run cooler n quieter. Before placing the 30mmx30mm in the PS4 Slim, I folded the thermal pad horizontally & then vertically to form a…

Perhaps we are seeing the end of the laptop? Me in the 90's Spoiler

3rd party PS4 controllers?
by piotras- 1 follower
- 1 reply
- 734 views
Hi! Could anyone recommend a good 3rd party controller for the PS4? I need to rebind running button to something which is easy to access for constant pressing, like at the back or maybe use L1 or R1 instead. The standard fps setting with 'toggle to run' would work just fine for me but it's bugged when running forward, the character just goes back to walking speed immediately (running to the sides or backwards is fine). Rockstar support doesn't seem to care about that. Pressing down constantly on the left stick is super uncomfortable and makes my aim suck in standard fps setting and I use my thumb for both the right stick and X which requires way too much …

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
