  • They were $500 20 years ago. So it’s a great value at $250.

    I used a Viewcast Osprey to get decent captures a few years ago. 25 years ago I was all about the BT 878 capture chips.

    The problem with the DV he recommends is that while it’s better than the trash USB converters, DV introduces its own lossiness because it’s like a form of Mjpeg. You also want an svhs player with svideo out even though the tapes aren’t svhs to keep luminance and chroma separate during capture. Otherwise you get dot crawl and other crosstalk artifacts.















  • They didn’t provide ANY support for their claim that MAYBE (their word) the inside of a black hole is uniquely different.

    It’s fucking unknown. That’s the definition. It is juvenile to conclude an essay with an imaginary idea of what’s inside an unknown object.

    It is no different if I titled an article “Black Holes are filled with chocolate pudding.” Then after several pages of background on Black Holes, I conclude with “No one knows so maybe it’s chocolate pudding.”

    Are you the author that you are so defensive about a click bait article?



  • But that doesn’t imply that each could be uniquely fucked up in terms of what’s beyond the event horizon. THAT’S the point they’re making.

    It’s beyond the event horizon. It’s unknown by definition. They restated the definition.

    Many objects we think of as black holes may, in fact, be imposters: identical on the outside but harbouring entirely different physics within.

    And maybe a black hole is filled with pudding. Again this is restating the definition: Maybe there’s something unknown inside an object that’s defined to be something that is unknown.

    Using two paragraphs to say there’s unknown inside of an object defined as being unknown inside is ridiculous.

    Again if this was an essay titled, “A beginners guide to Black Holes.”, it would have been perfectly fine.
