The best thing about this is that there’s two different types of Thunderbolt 5 port here

I find it funny how many replies I get about Steve Jobs who is not the subject of this post plus he’s been dead for 15 years.

They literally want to kill personal computing forever.
And replace it with “agents” that they run and make you addicted to and you have to rent from them.
They’re spelling it out what their plans are.

All the episodes on YouTube are either in 360p 16:9 with the original 4:3 image just stretched out, or they are in 720p 16:9 with black bars on the sides.
The original format is PAL 4:3 576i.
For the love of science, YouTube supports 4:3 videos natively.
jfc why is this so hard

Seriously you should subscribe to this. Immaculate essays about how games are constructed and why they’re great (or not). Plus a talking seal.

A thing that people don’t understand about this is that it was marketed and sold to average consumers.
People bought this with the expectation that it lasts them decades.
This receiver was the middle model in Pioneer’s lineup of consumer-targeted Hi-Fi.
They had two entire lines of higher end equipment, still targeted at consumers; standalone amplifiers for “prosumers” and standalone amplifier/preamps for enthusiasts.
But they didn’t really target audiophiles (who would go with brands like McIntosh).
