This article fails to provide numbers that would distinguish between declining demand vs. these players failing to compete with consoles. When I was shopping for uhd capable bluray players, the cheapest ones were around $400 and the ps5 was $500. With how much more capability a gaming console has, you would have to be completely indifferent to gaming to buy a player over a console.

And some stainless steel quick connect fittings.

Now you run into the problems of minimum order quanitities that make it impractical for an end user to acquire the product. The costs of transporting, warehousing, and eventually disposing the vast majority of 1,30767e12 wipes will far exceed the initial purchase price.

I watched a discussion from a former pilot who made it sound like the concrete structure that the plane ran into at the end of the runway was highly unusual and unnecessarily strong. Usually those locating beacons are mounted on very light plastic poles or on a tube frame. The heavy concrete foundation seems to be a significant factor in turning this from a rough emergency landing into a major disastor. I would imagine South Korea will revisit code for what kinds of structures can be built on the ends of runways after this.

Only some small piston based aircraft engines. Commercial aviation doesn't use lead. It's not great, but it's not a particularly significant amount.

Half of Japan would be North American? I didn't expect that.

The last option is what I do with my PS5 since my receiver doesn't support HDR or VRR. However, I frequently have audio sync issues that no amount of messing with delay settings solves. So eARC should be considered a solution of last resort.

The green and red hues evoke a Christmas vibe, achieved through different band combinations during image processing to generate true-colour (green) and false-colour (red) visuals.

Does anyone have more insight as to what the red colored band is measuring? The patterning is quite interesting, but the description in the article lacks specifics.

Edit: I think it's likely infrared or near infrared, but without information about which sattelite those images come from, I can't be certain.
