Have a look at this Terminator 2 fan restoration project
..Terminator 2: Judgment Day .was — and is, for some — the standard-bearer for bombastic tentpole action films after it was released in 1991, but many of its fans have been less than enthusiastic about its Blu-ray releases. In recent years, though, people who love the movie have been restoring it using 35mm prints, and one of those efforts has been making the rounds over on X. . .Jon W., who frequently posts about movies and projects like these, .compiled a few screenshots. in a thread comparing the new version with other transfers. They didn’t credit the person working on this directly, but did .post a screenshot. of text from “the person who restored Terminator” — Googling some of it verbatim led me to .Rob’s Nostalgia Projects.. . . …. . .Continue reading…. .

Meta’s ‘set it and forget it’ AI ad tools are misfiring and blowing through cash
.It was Valentine’s Day when Meta’s ad platform started going off the rails. RC Williams, the co-founder of the Philadelphia-based marketing agency 1-800-D2C, had set one of Meta’s automated ad tools to run campaigns for two separate clients. But when he checked the platform that day, he found that Meta had blown through roughly 75 percent of the daily ad budgets for both clients in under a couple of hours.. .Williams told .The Verge. that the ads’ CPMs, or cost per impressions, were roughly 10 times higher than normal.. .A usual CPM of under $28 had inflated to roughly $250, way above the .industry average.. That would have been bad enough if the revenue earned from those ads wasn’t nearly zero. If you’re not a marketer, this might feel like…. . .Continue reading…. .

Phone cooler makers need to chill with all the ice
.I don’t know about you, but when I have a nasty case of the hot phone, I have to get rid of that heat .this instant.. Just kidding, I usually just put it down for a while or restart it when it’s being especially stubborn. But there are companies out there marketing a different solution: little stick-on phone-cooling fans that purport to draw all that heat away. And their product images are a little, uh, excessively icy.. .How did it come to this? What kicked off this arms race of increasingly frosty phones? I have to assume things started innocently enough, but these RGB-riddled things are pretty squarely aimed at gamers — I’d guess it didn’t take long for these product shots to .snowball. into the wildly unrealistic pictures on Amazon today.. … . .Continue reading…. .

The Delta emulator will soon turn your iPad into a giant Nintendo DS
.The Delta emulator made a huge splash when it .hit the Apple App Store. earlier this month, quickly rocketing to the top spot in Apple’s free apps, where it remains today. Now, developer Riley Testut says an iPad-specific version is “near completion,” and will be released with Delta version 1.6. Testut says the app is already available for .his Patreon supporters. through “the regular AltStore,” which I take to mean the non-EU-specific one, rather than the .Apple-approved AltStore PAL… .Of course, the iOS version already works on the iPad (and the Vision Pro, where I’ve been .playing .Metroid Prime Hunters..). But a native version would let it take advantage of the full iPad screen real estate for better skins, including one that turns your tablet…. . .Continue reading…. .
