  • I would also guess the smaller range of hardware revisions is easier to keep track of when considering something as device specific as microphone frequency response curves or approximate intrinsic camera calibration values, thus simplifying the post-processing or data ingestion from an aggregate deployment of recording equipment.

    While Android devices are probably significantly cheaper, they’d vary quite a bit in terms of microphone, camera, and lens manufacturers, not to mention ADCs, gain to noise ratios and cheapest firmware, depending on what the OEM felt like swapping to for that minor product revision.

    Not sure how precise these researchers are trying to calibrate and rectify field measurements, but if they’re using internal phone sensors rather then external AV peripherals, then homogeneity across field computers would simply matters of data uniformity.




  • That’s just what I supposed the parent comment was referring to by missing an apparent joke as a kid.
    Thus my uncertain question mark. I suppose the OP could clarify their personal revelation.

    I agree in doubting that Gary had any intention for such an interpretation, simply depicting classic absurdity instead.

    However, anatomical and impossibilities aside, you can’t say that sexual slang is well known for it’s grounded realism.
    Eating or choking on pussy isn’t exactly an uncommon euphemism, especially those who love to boast about their face-sitting escapades.















  • I’d like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.

    The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I’d just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:
