I don't get it: the new models still need to be used somewhere, unless you're coding everything yourself, and that means they'll mostly get used in the updated ComfyUI nodes that work with the new checkpoints and LoRAs (and are available today).
Well, MS isn't fatal, but it certainly doesn't HELP... people with it have a generally shorter life expectancy (by like 7 years) from complications with something else, like heart disease or cancer.
None of which takes away from it being terrible that we've lost Terri Garr.
Worked with a lot of directors on their first or nearly first movies, like James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdonovich, Ron Howard. Even the Fantastic Four movie he produced had some pluses (the Red Letter Media review is worth watching).
For anyone who hasn't gotten into the coffee insanity yet, he doesn't mean his friend literally gives the coffee acupuncture... but a cork with some acupuncture needles (or a device that looks like such) is commonly (!) used to stir/even out/redistribute/break up clumps of coffee in the portafilter before tamping. And reading that I now need to go get some coffee.
Not just dropout: the disc stacker will set each pixel to the median (if there are enough copies) or an average (if there are just two) so even slightly off pixels on one disc of three, will be caught/fixed. (You can do the same thing with VHS, but not with their stacker software. You'll need to resort to VapourSynth or Avisynth/Avisynth+.)
"...our very expensive grinder." To save you the effort: that's about $4300 of coffee grinder, in that video. (Weber EG-1, Black. White is $400 "cheaper.")
It's not ever illegal, as long as it's your physical copy. Is it unethical? Well if you're censoring your copy, clearly not: you still saw the ads.
But are you asking in good faith? Or are you asking because you want to get to a point where you use a service that costs money to maintain and yet you don't spend money or view ads but you still feel ethical?
A lot of ad people would say that's unethical. Of course, a lot also say it's unethical to go to the bathroom during TV ads instead of sitting there and watching them like a good little consumer.
