Cameron has had plenty of opportunities and never has. There was something of a controversy when the DVD was re-released with a new Dolby Digital surround track and the original mono was left off. A lot of people felt very strongly about how those guns sounded.
This was my reaction to the article also - the base assumption that the relatively tiny group of audience members who rate films on imdb are statistically representative of the audience at large needs to be proven first.
It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age the owner of The Son of Man is not publicly known. I wonder if the owner displays it in their home for their own pleasure, or has it locked up in a super secure vault somewhere.
I. P(A and B) = P(A) P(B) {when independent}
II. P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) {when mutually exclusive}
But in general:
III. P(A and B) = P(A) P(B|A)
IIII. P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
The only way that I and II can both be true is that either P(A) = 0 or P(B) = 0. This does not imply though that A and B are mutual exclusive and independent, but it is a necessary condition. The conclusion is that if you're using both I and II, you're almost certainly doing something wrong.
Precisely. I would have been shocked if they weren’t doing this. Despite their attempts to diversify their offerings ober the years, their Premier League coverage is the lynchpin of their entire business.
Can it? Aside from a very few functions reverse-engineered from LG's smartphone remote control apps, I've not found any way to control core display functionality via either TCP/IP or documented WebOS APIs, including such simple things as backlight brightness and display power on/off, at least on my 2018 model.
There is, on the other hand, a documented RS-232 protocol supported across many of LG's smart and "dumb" TVs that supports these things and more, so I threw together a trivial HTTP wrapper
that I use to control various TV settings via keyboard commands and Apple remote.
As a significant bonus, the RS-232 API has a "disable/enable OSD" command, so I can adjust brightness and switch between inputs without an annoying, oversized OSD window covering up a significant portion of the screen for several seconds telling me what I either already know from the resulting display (switched input to, e.g., the GPU connected to my Linux desktop VM) or don't care about (the numerical value of backlight brightness resulting from the latest up/down button press).
That's really interesting, can't wait to take a look.
There's a good webos plugin for homebridge (https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv) which is based on LGTV2 (https://github.com/hobbyquaker/lgtv2) which exposes a ton of features, including the ability to instantly switch between apps/inputs. I have my Harmony calling this via my fork of Harmony Span (https://github.com/garethflynn/harmony-span) which very cleverly impersonates a Roku device via SSDP to allow Harmony keypresses to be captured by a server (a Raspberry Pi in my case) and used to run a custom shell script.
It sounds super-fussy, but it actually delivers a really clean way of switching inputs, especially in combination with my Samsung soundbar which, amazingly, only offers direct input selection via http (you can only cycle through them with the remote).
