Check out the Hackberry designs from ZitaoTech. They're pretty amazing. I'm currently in the process of porting Plasma Mobile onto the device so that there's a better UI for it.
I work as a civil engineer in the mining industry and it can be troublesome to download satellite imagery for a particular date and cloud index.
Yes, Google Earth Engine and QGIS plugins exist, but they are slow and confusing to jump back into after a period of time.
SatelliteMine is simple to use and any images of your area of interest is saved to your account and can be downloaded as a geotiff.
Currently free to use with a cloud storage capped at 512MB per account. Paid plans for greater storage requirements will be provided if the demand is there. Any feedback is welcomed :)
The simpsons was originally made in 4:3. Many people don't like watching with large black bars to the right and left, so they show a cropped 16:9 version. People complained because this is occasionally a problem and ruins a joke, so I believe you can opt into either.
A similar crime against taste as the pan-and-scan "fullscreen" DVDs of the early 2000s. If I want to pay to watch something, don't crop out a chunk of what the cinematographer wanted me to see...
It seems like the video examples are unfortunately now unavailable, but the discussion is still interesting and it's neat to see the creative trade-offs and constraints in the process. I think those nuances help evoke generosity in how one approaches re-releases or other versions or cuts of a piece of media.
Pan and scan wasn't a DVD innovation. Most VHS releases were pan and scan too; DVDs at least commonly had widescreen available (many early discs came with widescreen on one side and full screen on the other... good luck guessing if widescreen on the hub indicates the side you're reading is widescren or if the otherside is widescreen so you should have the widescreen label facing up in your player.
