Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd August, 2019.

23rd August, 2019.

Yes: before you say anything.

I know I’m up early.

Incredibly early.

But that’s the breaks, I think.

Especially when you’re in a job that means you have to start at a very early time!

Oy … veh … !

You’ve possibly worked out I’m an Apple fan: I have been for years.

But … ?

Even the best can have their moments.

Apple have introduced their Apple branded credit card.   Which is an interesting expansion of Apple Pay.

They’ve had issues, though.

Apparently, you can’t store it in a leather wallet.   Or in anything denim.

Otherwise, it’ll get discoloured.

Who’d’ve thought?   That the first thing you needed to get with an Apple Card?   Was a card condom?

Oy …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd August, 2018

23rd August, 2018.

Yep: I’ve a day off, today.

And … ?

In amongst the day’s events, I’m thinking I should dig up a movie.

But not sure which movie … although, I do have Fiddler on the Roof sitting around.

Tempting.   Long, but tempting: after all, it’s supposed to be one of the movies.

But … 

Well, we’ll see …

Which sort of brings me to another subject.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Star Wars Anthology film that tells us about Han Solo’s early years.

It’s not due to be released until September, this year.

The on-demand version on the 14th, the blu-ray on the 25th.

Which gets me thinking …

You’ve heard or ripping, haven’t you?   The idea you can copy a film or TV show on a DVD or CD, into a form that can be played on a computer: or on a phone, tablet, streaming box, what have you.

There’s also what’s called web ripping, or sometimes VOD ripping.

In other words ripping video from websites like Twitch or YouTube: again, so you can watch the video offline.

Needless to say, it’s rather shady, legally.

Doable, but shady.

I’m looking at the difference in release dates for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

And thinking that gap in dates will encourage some to web rip the video on demand versions.

And to release them via torrent sites like Pirate Bay, ExtraTorrent and Demonoid.

Two weeks before the blu-ray versions out.

Just a thought …
