I'm watching Star Wars: A New Hope original version restored and encoded in 4K and it's STUNNING. (I'm watching the DNR version, FWIW.)

It was a bit of hassle to get an invite to a special forum that has the download link, but it was so worth it. I think this one may supplant my typical Despecialized Edition viewing.

Friends don't let friends watch the #StarWars original trilogy with all of the CGI silliness later added in.

Here's the OT as it was meant to be.

Back up and running, basic apps all loaded and working. Yay, backups!

Get bent, Cortana.

Fortunately, I have everything on separate partitions/disks so while I have to reinstall the OS and all of my apps, I have all of my data intact because of daily backups.

Note to self: Never use Easeus Partition Manager to resize the Windows partition.

It totally borked the boot record, beyond the point of repair tools. Even manual recovery commands failed.

Wiping and starting over. I was due for that anyway.

Hey would you look at that? The AI chatbot on this social network does not give up PII about its members. Unlike other places...

@Alfred Who is @voltronic ?

Mildly NSFW #cosoclassical humor. A little #musictheory as well.

Prediction:

Hard-left people will speak about the arrested college campus protestors with nearly identical language to that which hard-right people have applied to J6ers.

Both groups of agitators, whether they be pawns or organizers in each event, are more similar than they are different. The same goes for those who support them. See: Horseshoe Theory.

@Render
Please know that I have your back 100%, for whatever that's worth. While I haven't seen much of the Hamas supporting statements here which you and others have reported on, I will call it out when I do see it and those people will be banished from my timelines.

No quarter for terrorists and their supporters.

@Render
I want to publicly say how much I appreciate your continued fight to spread the truth about what's been happening, and I know many others here feel the same.

Besides the thousands of misguided student protesters who have no fucking clue about history or how they are being manipulated, it's intensely frustrating for ME to see formerly trustworthy news outfits such as AP and Reuters reporting Hamas talking points as fact. Then I think of how frustrating that must be for YOU.
