Well, he's done a commercial for a PlayStation video game called "Cyber Punk," so someone thinks he's relevant.

My guess he is old enough to be a grandfather for the projected audience of any commercial where the terms Playstation, Video Game and Cyber Punk are relevant.

“Goodwill” is the line item. You either expense something now and right down Goodwill or set up a reserve for a future loss. [emoji41]

He's 56, so you're about right. Doesn't quite look it in the commercial, but maybe it's the lighting.

Late to the party as per frickin' usual.

As to the OP's topic, I finally cut the cord and went streaming with 2 Apple 4K TV boxes. I do subscribe to Hulu, but rarely watch it. The Pluto and Tubi apps are totally free and has some content that we watch occasionally. Mostly we watch YouTube content and Amazon Prime content. Our Apple movie library is building (presently 324 and counting).

Nonetheless, the streaming video quality and audio quality cannot touch the quality of BluRay on my Oppo 203. The physical media is just plain better. Like vinyl records. They're just plain better.

... true, but I am looking into increasing streaming quality. I am not finding it to be an easy job for all providers. It's particularly difficult in the HT where I use a projector and don't have a smart tv.
