I'm grateful that the BBC Sounds app, unlike iPlayer, has been available in foreign countries. I've enjoyed brilliant documentaries, audiobooks and dramas through it. I've been working my way systematically through the full Drama on 4 archive. So good - the writing, acting and immersive audio! Now I've learnt BBC Sounds will no longer be available outside the UK after July 21st. Am mentioning in case anyone else, like me, wants to binge their backlog before it shuts.

This is from Drunken Master II. I remember watching this scene on the TV using a video tape. At one point I paused the tape to get some food or something, and Indiana Jones was playing on broadcast. It looked so slow and clumsy compared to Jacky Chan and his team's moves. And Jacky didn't use stunt men or CGI!

This thought provoking article is making me rethink my recent assertion that the Epstein files scandal is distracting us from the "real issues".
>>Thereโs an incorrect belief that the Epstein case is somehow separate from the real concerns facing America, a conspiracist concoction untethered to reality. But itโs actually about the policy issue Iโve probably spent more time writing on than any other in my career in journalism: the two-tiered system of justice and accountability in America, and the impunity we afford the nationโs elites.<<

Okay, but can I use it without the VTT at all, or will it just crash again like the last version (I don't have a microphone for this project so I don't want unnecessary AI or VTT modules loaded)? I tried doing a dummy interface method but it didn't work (can you say "hard locked").
I'm still running xfce on my TV box only because I couldn't get bigscreen running without doing a bunch of stuff I don't want to do that only relates to a feature I can't and don't even want to use.
