Tbh it's mostly out of respect for the people whose feet pics I would be using, and for fear of possibly getting in trouble w the facebook mods, plus it requires effort that I'm just not willing to invest in those interactions XP (I'm also diabetic so I don't want to come across horror stories about diabetic feet and end up feeling scared!)

Very fair points, life is too short to spend on nonsense and negativity. It's a much better use of your time to do things that will make you happy.

I'm currently selling my old freestanding (well, not built in - you still have to hang it or prop it up against something else) mirror on fb marketplace (as I now have lovely built in mirrors on my compactum thingy), and keep getting creepy messages from random men saying stuff like "can I see your feet" "are there any better photos of you in the mirror
😉
" and "do you like wearing tights" ugh honestly... have reported them all to fb and am also miffed cuz I'm trying to sell that mirror (plus a couple of other bits of furniture) and resent the timewasting as well as the unsolicited sexual comments... like even if I was on OnlyFans or the like there would be some etiquette involved and this is fb marketplace fer cryin' out loud! (BTW, this isn't directed at guys here who've made jokes with me that could I suppose be misconstrued, in public conversations on the forum bcuz the context is completely different, so rest assured I'm not miffed off with any of you!)

Thanks for being so forgiving. 😰
 
I always thought copies cds etc werent allowed on ebay? And yet ebay let them sell them still, report it and theg say they couldnt do anything or wont pull the listing, frustrating, and yet i can remeber i had trouble selling an anime blu ray a few month back as ebay kept pulling it saying prohibited item, even showed pics of it being a genuine uk sealed blu ray
Crazy, ebay just gets worse

I just saw a worrying report from Digital Foundry that LG are exiting the blu-ray player market, following Samsung and Oppo. Looks like that just leaves Sony and Panasonic. Any threat to the health of the BD player market is troubling, especially considering how quickly optical drives can start acting up.

I was certainly saddened when I read the news on lg ceasing production of blu ray players. It's all a rather worrying general preferred trend for streaming alone and the whims of licensors. Therefore my main concern with all this, quality issues aside, is having classics accessible for posterity. I guess that classic games, even on physical media, sort of always have had that issue and I remember reading about archives that try and retain these, provided they don't get sued to kingdom come. I guess the double-edged sword aspect of anime, games, etc becoming more mainstream in the age of the interweb is that whilst it may be more accessible, the transient interest of the majority casual viewers will not incentivize the corpos to retain classics, possibly in any form, when they're too busy mass-manufacturing their next fix. Watch out landlubbers indeed.

Firstly, Merry Christmas one and all!

LG getting out of the Blu-ray/4K player game isn't much of a surprise; their players were generally seen as inferior to Sony and Panasonic players, who dominate the market when it comes to home Blu-ray/4K players. Additionally, LG will still be producing their PC Blu-ray drives (where they are far more successful), it's only their TV players they are discontinuing.

Further, the number of physical media distributors like Arrow, Eureka, Criterion, Second Sight, and many others who rely on the existence of Blu-ray players to play their products (and they seem to be pumping out more and more releases each year), means I wouldn't panic just yet. There are so many titles that come out on disc every year nowadays, I can't see the production of Blu-ray players stopping completely, not anytime soon anyway.

Still, it's sad to see another company that has stopped production of disc players. Less competition is never good.
