You are not wrong. I have tried some of the faster ones in Prague and Kiev.
The difference in numbers does not sound like much but it sure does in real life.
The speed combined with the wind can be quite wild.
Both have great videos on garment quality. But with the inevitable caveat that they are in the business themselves. I take it as an insiders perspective and watch out for content marketing (while being tainted!).
It seems to be easier to find better clothes if you are a bit of a hipster type. Those kind of stores still care for quality. My friend has such a shop and tells me that even for them it gets harder to source good vendors as it is a continuous race to the bottom.
The first theatrical release had a drab narration by Harrison Ford. At places it makes it sound like a cheap film noir detective story.
The Directors Cut is the unbutchered version.
Maybe 4D chess by Ridley Scott. Most had seen the optimized version first and was prepared for the magic which is the recut version ;-)
I have the opposite feeling with Apocalypse Now. The Redux version killed the pacing and explained too much. The added scenes are by themselves worthwhile (and explains later actions) but makes the complete movie a bit heavy handed.
By comparison Blade Runner feels more ethereal even though the both cover dark subjects of human nature.
The Director's Cut (released in 1992) drops the narration and adds the dream sequence, but despite the name is not entirely approved by Ridley Scott.
The Final Cut (released in 2007) is the only version where Ridley Scott had full final cut approval. It re-masters the audio, fixes some of the effects (replacing faces on stunt doubles, removing wires, etc), and changes a few lines (most notably "I want more life, father" instead of "fucker"). The color is also re-graded.
Some people prefer the Director's Cut over the Final Cut, especially the color grading, although I saw the Final Cut in 35mm when it was released and it looked pretty spectacular. In any event the changes in the Final Cut are nowhere near as egregious as the Star Wars special editions or the AI remasters of James Cameron's films.

I really wonder why some creatives are so determined to sabotage their earlier works later in life. Do they actually believe that they are making them better and are so used to being told how great they are that they can too easily dismiss anyone telling them otherwise? Or are they perhaps (consciously or subconsciously) threatened by a standard that their current self can no longer match up to?
It's sad that with the way copyright and movie distribution work that these butchered version become the only version new audiences get to see.
That's not what various references (and AIs) say. Strictly necessary means strictly necessary. They didn't bother defining it in the law. However, user preferences were called out specifically in the WP29 opinion as something that wouldn't count as strictly necessary if scoped any wider than the browser session. So if the plain English meaning and the drafters' opinion contradicts your opinion, why should I risk significant fines to trust it?
Yeah well most references on this are wrong, and AIs are doubly wrong since they ingest those references and also since they are AIs.
I suggest actually reading the GDPR if you think it applies to you. The EU put it up on a website for everyone to see. Here's the most relevant section: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/
Notice how cookies are not mentioned, popups are not mentioned, and strictly necessary is not mentioned. Those are requirements the data harvesting industry invented out of whole cloth. They are not the actual requirements.
I'll just repeat that one more time: the GDPR does not mention cookies or popups. Let that sink in. It's all cargo-cult.
The GDPR also doesn't give a shit about dark mode preference. Literally nothing in it has any relevance to a dark mode preference, even (and especially) if you store it in a cookie.
In short: the GDPR doesn't mention it but it is covered by the ePrivacy directive/regulations which does cover cookies very specifically, and which is enforced through GDPR.
What does "enforced through GDPR" mean here? That if you don't ask permission for saving a dark mode preference, they'll fine you for misuse of personal data even though it isn't personal data and you're not misusing it?
You read and replied to my other response. It answers this question and gives you the laws you demanded and the terms to research the answer to this question.
Why are you even bringing up GDPR? The law requiring cookie banners is a completely different law. Have you not seen a cookie banner? You think all these huge companies with legal departments are just misreading a law? What are you even ok about here?
You cannot trust which number which is signalled to the end user.
Most spam calls I get is shown as legit numbers. If I call them back they will go to an innocent and unsuspecting user.
Google is already collecting this information and shows numbers as "probably spam". It is hard to enforce this harder even with collateral damage as you cannot trust the number which is signalled.
Legislation is in this case a good thing which might get the telcos to take this more seriously. This needs to be handled on an operator level. Nothing will happen without legislative incentives.
The world is run on SS7 which has a lot of problems which inertia and lacking incentives makes hard to overcome.
The speed combined with the wind can be quite wild.

The video also explains that escalator speed is now set via international standards.
