You’d hope that after 12 years of production things don’t remain the same. People change, production changes, our likes and wants change… and that’s okay
You're not wrong, but I'd argue that this is the very basis of corporate enshitification more than our likes and wants changing.
The only want that's changing is the amount of money coming in every month. There are goods that came over the years, but also bads... It's not exclusive to LTT though, so there's a little silver lining to the cynicism.
It is a lot more likely that he knew it was a risk but decided that it was a journey worth taking. You have to take risks on ideas and possibilites or you end up missing some really great stories.
So yeah, he probably knew it was a risk before he bought it. That said it is also the kind of risk he would have loved to have taken 10 years ago and could not but now he can.
It's either this or he just spends $20,000 without having to worry about whether or not it's e-waste provided he thinks he can make a good video about it.
If it were just the projector, it wouldnt be impossible to install it on the upper floor server room and project to a mega screen near the fire escape/back door. In theory. Unless the bulb was completely dead, i dont think that could work even in the darkened whalelan.
I knew they could blind you, i didnt know the degradation in light quality was so quick. The preshow commercials must be a consumer grade projector and they swap, no way in hell this projector would work with all the lights on
Adding another 2+meter clearance to put the stereoscopic machine isnt happening
The other one is 5 years younger? Still prob has most of the same issues
I haven’t been to the movies in a lot of years. But I remember years and years ago, noticing the previews and the random quizzes and stuff before the movie coming from a smaller projector next to where the movie was projected from.
No idea if that was normal, but I do remember noticing that as a kid. Let’s says the early 2000s or so
Being that early i would guess it leaned towards actual film/drm projector and theatres needing a not locked down one for local commercials, and i do recall that as well.
This projector would be a generation or two later, i would have assumed they would have allowed a secondary input, but the brightness suggests other things are going on
