Succession has some of the best screenwriting of any TV show or movie, IMO. S3E08 "Chiantishire" stands out to me. So much of the dialogue is passive-aggressive or euphemistic. S4E09 "Church and State" is also an absolute marvel, with the main scene being shot with 8 cameras simultaneously, and showing some of the most powerful performances in the series.

Oh this is so helpful. Thank you.
Same. My partner got an Apple watch and loved all the lifestyle tools, but she stopped wearing it because she couldn't stand all the notifications. I said it would just take a couple minutes to turn off the ones she didn't like, but she doesn't have time for that!
So I got a flash drive to install Windows and (attempt) to install COD, but I have a Mac computer. To move anything to the flash drive, I had to format for MacOS, but to move anything to the deck I had to format for Linux. Am I misunderstanding something?
Samsara was the first movie to be scanned in 8K. It's stunning in 4K, so I think I would also enjoy it in 8K.
On the Team Deakins podcast (which I HIGHLY recommend) Roger is notoriously pessimistic about the future of film. But they asked one of their guests - maybe Greig Fraser? - about AI and he basically said, "AI is here whether we like it or not. We as artists can either embrace it and lead the way in using it appropriately, or we can refuse and let big studios and big money ruin the industry by using AI without input from the artists."
The last time I was a passenger in my brother's car, I remembered that he tends to drive in a way that makes me feel unsafe, like what OP described. Unreasonable acceleration, tailgating, swerving. He laughed when I was physically bracing myself and said his partner does the same thing. I told him I just won't be in a car when he's driving anymore. Of course, it's easier to do because I don't see him too often.
IMO when I'm driving, I not only have a responsibility to keep my passengers safe, but to make them feel safe. I might feel safe because I know I'll brake in time, but my passengers don't because they're not controlling the vehicle.
Do you have EDS?
"Nuance Trolling": The insistence that some major beneficial development like single-payer healthcare, ending wars and bombing campaigns, or the mitigation, even cessation, of climate change is impossible because the situation is too nuanced, the plan too lacking in detail, the goal too hard to achieve, the public isn’t behind it or some other bad faith “concern” that makes bold action an impossibility.

I've had a $60 Ryobi drill for 10+ years. The battery and the drill work just fine. For basic maintenance, I would rate a cordless drill in my top 5 tools - up there with a hammer and tape measure.
I personally avoid calling anything "overrated" because it carries judgment against anyone who likes the thing. I will say I haven't especially enjoyed a Tarantino since I was a teenager and I don't know what makes him so special.
I agree that it's a beautiful love story in a vacuum, but in the context of a larger society I think Nick Offerman's character was a psychopath. With so many people suffering around him, he chose to hoard weapons and resources, and set up booby traps to avoid having to share with anyone. That's essentially what the ultra-rich are doing today in response to the climate crisis, and nobody is romanticizing it.
