I have a few movies in the form of digital MK3D files. Once upon a time I could play them from my PC to my TV in MPC with some plugins, but since Nvidia did away with 3D support, I don't think that's possible anymore without using older drivers that would cause issues on newer games etc.

I have (and haven't used for some time) a Dune HD media player, which did support and play them great. At some point nearly everything I played off it had audio sync issues and I gave it up after updating the firmware a few more times with no improvements (not just 3D or even HD stuff). I'm basically looking for something like that when it worked well.

Dune's new players no longer support 3D at all. I need to play to a standard 3D TV and want the full 3D signal (using a 4k 3D passive set, so each eye gets full 1080).

Is there any player, even something I could find used at a decent price and still works, or what do you suggest currently?

I primarily use these for movies with issues with forced subtitles. I imagine most know, but forced subs are ones that appear even when subs are off. Think something like an English movie and someone speaks in Russian, or an alien is speaking their language. Like the subs under Jabba the Hutt.

Some movies only got 3D Blu-rays in other countries where English isn't the primary language. Despite including the English audio track, many don't include forced subs for English. You can watch it fully subtitled in English, or miss the intentional subs altogether.

In this cases I've gotten both the imported 3D version and the US (or UK) 2D version, and combined them so the subs from the 2D version are on the 3D version. I'm not even sure how I'd make that into a 3D iso to burn to a disc, only an MK3D which is a lossless conversion, and that's complicated enough haha.

TLDR; what media device can I find afforable-ish that can play MK3D files in 3D over HDMI?

I've seen a lot of people posting their standard and steelbook copies.
However I ordered to Collector's Edition from OrbitDVD, which show a date of June 19th for release.
I also saw someone mention here that the US didn't get the collector's edition.
Does it have a later release date? Is Orbit importing them? They are out of North Carolina.

I don't mind waiting another month after all this time, but if there is some weird shenanigans where my order might get canceled, I'd grab the standard disc over scalper priced steelbook. Hoping I'll just have it in a month though!

I'm selling something and accepted an offer. It said I could accept multiple offers and first to pay would get it. Only offer I've gotten but it was 2 days ago. I get they could not follow through. The same person was messaging me for an even lower price that I ignored, until I sent an offer to all watchers. They countered with $5 less which I accepted.

I just am not sure how to see if that offer is still valid to them - it doesn't show up anywhere under selling. If I check my offers it only shows ones I've made to sellers, not ones to me as a buyer.

If I view the chat history with this user, there's still 'view offer' buttons, but when they previously took me to the offer to accept it, they now say (number changed in case it is anything sensitive):
Can't reach this page.... www.ebay.comnull198728738163

I'd kind of like to block this person if their time to pay expired, but it was less than 72 hours ago. Does that offer even still exist?

I'm on Windows 11, on an ASUS ROG Gaming laptop.
When I connect or disconnect my dozens of USB devices (flash drives, SD adapters, controllers, mice, keyboards, Arduino, many many things), it makes the USB connect or disconnect sound as expected.
However, I have an Arkscan thermal printer I use for printing shipping labels. It has never made a sound when connecting or disconnecting to the USB port. It shows up when connected, and it works just fine. Why no USB sound for this one thing? It has been that way for about 2 years since I got the printer.
It's using a USB-A port and is USB 2.0, though those apply to many of my devices.

I've noticed as it has thrown me off a couple times, making me think I was missing something in an order. I can order a few things at once of the same category and forget which were grouped with each seller off the top of my head.
I've found for example when I'm getting 2 items from the same seller, the email subject says:
"OUT FOR DELIVERY: [First Item]... and 2 more item(s)"

However I get a box with 2 and am like what the hell got left out? Then I check eBay and it was indeed an order of only 2 items. I've learned to double check now, but it's confused me a couple times and is just weird for something as big as eBay...

And it isn't that another item from a different seller is out for delivery. When that is the case I get a second Out for Delivery email for the other order.

I'm just curious - is the standard Blu-ray included with the 4k, and the one being sold on its own going forward I'd assume - made from the new 4k master? Is it at least dual layer with lossless audio?

Given it has new special features listed, I'm guessing it is an all new disc. I just want to know if I can recommend buying a stand alone Blu to my friends without 4k, and if this will be a better disc to loan friends than the one I've had since release date on a single layer Blu.
