As I don't want to reduce the quality of an already lossy codec, I'm instead comparing identical audio tracks of the same release that differ only in their codecs and bitrates. For instance, would a stereo 224kbps AC3 audio track be equivalent to a 128kbps AAC audio track, or is one of the two better than the other?

Got Wii Sports for $1 at a thrift store like that, whereas their glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise). Unfortunately, at least where I live, the odds of computer stuff showing up are few and far between.

The subtitles could be for an alternate release of the show that is either offset by a fixed amount or runs slightly faster or slower.

With 25Mbps internet, for me harddriveflix is often the streaming service with the highest bitrate...

If that were the case there would at least be some value in selling the division to another company. Perhaps by not selling it they can claim the division lost money, artificially reducing the tax burden on profits from divisions corporate management is more interested in.

It's surprising how many relatively recent movies were upscaled to 4K rather than natively shot in that quality. While it's something I'd expect for movies from the early 2000s, having neither the benefit of rescannable film reels nor high quality digital cameras, it doesn't make sense for more recent film series such as Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, Now You See Me, Divergent, and Jurassic World, among others. Especially odd is that some of those series have one movie natively shot in 4K despite the rest being upscaled.

Leaves me undecided on whether it's worth keeping releases with such a large footprint in my media library if they're not in true 4K...

Good to know; thanks!

More important than maintaining the source code though is forming a new group to manage the continued development of Yuzu and Citra. Hopefully they don't fracture into ten groups all making parallel improvements.

Are there any viable Yuzu or Citra forks?

As long as someone is just running ROMs backed up from their own Switch cartridges and not distributing those ROMs, Yuzu can be used entirely legally.
