Have you ever used a so-called "destination dispatch" elevator? You choose your floor in the elevator's lobby and the computer tells you which of, maybe 5 elevators is going your way. I've seen it a few times in very tall buildings. I bet that lets you undo.

I kinda want to watch it on my little recliner Mac while it also plays on mute on my fancy Mac which deigns to it. So, 2 tickets! 🎟️🎟️

I do have an easy way to obtain the movie in a different way. I'm of two minds whether to watch it.

This is on my old 2014 Mac Mini running 12.7 Monterey. It is a new HDCP thingie dingie. Is it important?

Okay. I am paying for AppleTV, but I am also paying for Mullvad, so I went over to my good Macintosh and pirated the fucking movie in about 2 minutes.

I harangued AppleCare for a while and they said essentially too-bad. Various movies can have various HDCP restrictions and since this screen is essentially adapted to plain DVI, get lost.

Silly, doggy, pistachios are for talkative parrots! And humans with calloused thumbs.
