I think I read that the UCC needs to be updated every 5 years.

That does sound like unusual behavior. My Roku Ultra remote lasts about 5 or 6 months. My TV remote (which I hardly ever use) is solar powered. I hope we see more solar powered remotes in the coming years.

One other point: it may be somewhat obvious, but sometimes streamer app updates require newer streaming devices. If your TV is your streaming device and it can't be upgraded, you will need to get a separate streaming device (or a new TV). When I bought a new TV a couple of years ago, the...

Another Roku Ultra user here. The primary reason for my choice is that it is a wired device. Years ago I tried a Roku stick and I had lots of problems with the streams glitching and buffering, despite the TV being 5 feet from the router. The wired connection has been problem free. I recommend...

I think the scene was fine, but I disagree with some of your points.

I think the Starter Sets/Essentials Kit cover the basics for more casual players.

Another vote for GURPS. Defenders can roll Parry, Dodge, or Block (Active Defenses) against attacks. IMO GURPS is also a little more gritty in that turns are 1 second and Hit Points are your basic Health score, which is difficult to increase much. Fights can be very brutal and over very quickly...

Ah, I missed that. Not to be obtuse, but can you expound more on what qualities make a "Revisionist Western" to you? I am not seeing the distinction.

Rumor has it Steven Spielberg is looking to make a Western for his next film. Not sure if that will be enough...

I loved the more fey influence to the vampires. So many vampire stories focus on the sexual overtones, and while that can be an appropriate and interesting theme, it gets difficult to do something different. This was different but still felt like the vampires were familiar. Music and...

Don't forget 80s films like Silverado, Young Guns (1 and 2), and the Lonesome Dove mini series on TV.

And they had originally offered the Bond role to Dalton after Diamonds Are Forever. I agree with Dalton himself that he was too young at the time, but what could have been...

To clarify, when using the Dark theme.

Is this a copyright issue? If I (or an AI at my direction) make a picture of a humanoid mouse that looks like Mickey Mouse but it is not a copy of any previous Mickey Mouse image, that would seem to me (again, not a lawyer) to be a trademark or IP violation, not a copyright violation. In a...

I wonder if AI makers, trainers, and/or owners will get slapped with a royalty fee paid out to copyright holders like digital recorders and digital media do. The pool of potentially infringed creators is many orders of magnitude larger than just musicians, though... :unsure: IANAL, but I think...
