    'I Didn't Kill My Wife!' -- An Oral History of 'The Fugitive'

    There was no finished script or even an ending and a key cast member became fatally ill during the production.

    Revisiting the 1997 Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro joystick for PC!

    Video review of Michael Flatley's Blackbird: Millionaire Tries To Make A Bond Film - Its Unintentionally Hilarious!
  • I remember when this movie first came out, Mark Kermode (uk film critic) was reviewing it on his podcast and noted that Flatley had won "Best Actor" for this movie at the "Monaco Streaming Film Festival". Kermode pointed out, that for this to be true it must mean that it competed against at least one other movie, which somehow had acting worse that Flatley's. So Kermode went on a quest to learn more about this film festival and the other films in the competition. Each week on the podcast he gave updates on his quest. He was able to get in touch with someone from the festival who could confirm that yes, it was a real festival and that yes, there were other films in competition. When asked about these other films, the correspondent couldn't directly provide any information and would need to consult "the archives" (for a film festival that had taken place 4 months prior). The back and forth went on for weeks, but ultimately Kermode had to give up. We never found out what films had worse acting than Flatley in Blackbird...

    Real Engineering: The Questionable Engineering of Oceangate - an in depth analysis of the Oceangate disaster by an expert in composite materials engineering
  • My "favorite" part was when he read from the (now deleted) Oceangate blog post that effectively said "we don't bother with the mechanical certification process, since very few of the failures that occur in the world are due to mechanical faults".

    Really? Could that be because the mechanical certification process actually works?

    How are lemmy and other fediverse platforms profitable?
  • Lemmy has so far made $0 total profit. So that makes them substantially more profitable than Reddit.

  • Podcast app Stitcher is shutting down in August
  • Oh, that's too bad. I've been using Stitcher for years and was pretty happy with it.

    What other podcast apps for Android are people using that they would recommend?

    I've tried using Spotify previously for podcasts, but I find it frustrating since the app is primarily designed for music. It works well for music, but the podcasts experience is awkwardly grafted on and does not work well for me.

    LGR: Orpheus II: The Best Retro PC Sound Card in 2023? Perhaps!

    From PCMIDI.EU comes the Orpheus 2 – a new 16-bit ISA sound card! Could this be the best one for vintage computers right now? An argument can be made for that I think. On-board Gravis Ultrasound PnP compatibility, plus all the Orpheus 1 features like Sound Blaster Pro compatibility, Yamaha OPL3, and an intelligent mode MPU-401. As far as modern replica sound cards go, this thing is a step above the rest at the moment!
