As part of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy sent an attack group of submarines to surround Oahu and sink ships attempting to flee. Five of the submarines carried top-secret "mini submarines." These submarines, each armed with two torpedoes and carrying two crew members, were to penetrate inside the harbor under cover of darkness before the attack began. They were to surface and fire their torpedoes during the aerial attack. Then, they would dive and escape the harbor, and rendezvous with their "mother submarines," again under cover of darkness the night of December 7.
While the aerial attack was devastating, the mini submarines failed in their mission. Only one made it into the harbor, and it was quickly sunk during the attack that morning. Another submarine washed ashore on the morning of December 8, and its surviving crew member, Kazuo Sakamaki, was captured along with his craft. The submarine was studied and then toured the U.S. to promote the sale of War Bonds. It is now on permanent display at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas.
A third submarine was observed more than an hour before the attack trying to follow a U.S. ship into the harbor. It was quickly engaged and sunk by the crew of the destroyer USS Ward. The two other mini submarines disappeared.
In 1951, one of the two missing submarines was discovered in shallow water off the entrance to Pearl Harbor. It had been partially destroyed by an internal explosive charge, probably set off by its crew when they could not escape. Raised by the U.S. Navy, it was quietly taken out to sea and dumped in deep water.
In 1960, the second missing submarine was discovered. It, like the other submarine, lay in shallow water near the entrance to Pearl Harbor. It was raised by the Navy, and its bow, still armed with torpedoes, was taken off and dumped at sea. The rest of the submarine, at the request of Japan, was returned to Japan. It was restored and is now on display at the former Japanese naval academy at Eta Jima.
From: The Lost Submarines of Pearl Harbor:Much has been written about the construction, characteristics and equipment of the Type A kō-hyōteki. The description that follows is based on Japanese sources, the archival records from the disassembly and analysis of the midget submarines HA-14 and HA-21 in Australia, and HA-19 in the United States, and archaeological documentation of HA-8 in Groton, HA-30 at Kiska, the three-piece mini, and the mini sunk by USS Ward.
As designed and built, the Type A boats are single-hull craft constructed in three sections which bolted together. Each section was joined by 2-3/8 inch (60mm) flanges with threaded bolts 13/16-inches (20.6mm) in diameter. A rubber gasket separated each section between the flanges.
The new High Contrast Display is a special render mode that provides more contrast for in-game elements. The Screen Magnifier feature also allows you to zoom-in on any part of the screen using the DUALSHOCK4 touch pad.
Simulated 3D movement can be a source of motion sickness for many players. To create a more visually comfortable experience, you can choose options to adjust camera shake, motion blur, camera follow distance, and even field of view. There's also an option for a persistent white dot in the center of the screen, which can alleviate the sensation.
Making a game that's accessible for blind and low-vision players means providing new ways of navigating the game world.
Navigation Assistance can be used to guide you along the golden path of story progression or you can use Enhanced Listen Mode to go off and find enemies or pickups instead. To help you move through the game world, there are also options for simplified traversal input, ledge guard, and the ability to skip puzzles altogether.
Any information that is only represented visually is unavailable to a blind player. To address this discrepancy, Naughty Dog created several options to convey this information through sound and controller vibration instead.
Traversal and Combat Audio Cues work alongside the game's audio to map easily identifiable sounds to commonly used actions (scavenging pickups, jumping across gaps, dodging incoming melee attacks, etc.). These audio cues are cataloged in an audio glossary that you can refer back to at any time.
Additionally, menus and other on-screen text can be voiced using the Text-To-Speech* option. For those that have their language set to English and Text-to-Speech** enabled at the console level, The Last of Us Part II will automatically enable Text-to-Speech for you in-game.
Because combat in The Last of Us Part II should be accessible for all players, there are a number of options that can significantly alter the gameplay experience. For instance, the Invisible While Prone feature allows you to experience stealth gameplay that might otherwise be inaccessible. If you have difficulty aiming, you can give yourself more time by enabling Slow Motion while aiming. These features provide you with all the tools you need to make the combat experience enjoyable and challenging.
Subtitles are an extremely popular accessibility feature, and The Last of Us Part II offers you with a wide array of customization options for them.
You can tweak the size and color, add a dark background for contrast, enable speaker names, and even a directional arrow for offscreen speakers. For the first time in a Naughty Dog game, you can enable subtitles for all systemic enemy dialogue during stealth and combat.
As an extension of the accessibility features, The Last of Us Part II also includes expanded difficulty options. At launch, you will see five different challenge levels: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Hard, and Survivor.
Players can also customize specific aspects of difficulty to your needs or desired experience. You can individually tweak difficulty settings related to incoming damage, enemy and ally effectiveness, stealth and resources. Trophies are not limited by difficulty.

Just wanted to add that I too have been having a Closed Captions (CC) issue with Paramount Plus on one Roku device in my house, watching Start Trek Discovery. Subtitles are often working at the start of show show, and then after a few minutes I realize they have disappeared. I can go to Roku settings and enable subtitles (even though Roku thinks they *are* already enabled) and when I go back to Paramount Plus they are working again. I plan to try the factory reset today (June 21,2023). - Frank
As I mentioned in the thread I started, my and other similar issues appear to be random injection attacks. By this, I mean the hacker intercepts the stream randomly and injects the code. The bad news for us was that the code would continue interfering until it was removed. The good news is if this is a variant of our attack, the factory reset should get rid of it, and because it is a random attack, you're unlikely to get hit with it again.
The bad news is that your attack is different. A factory reset can only determine whether this is a similar attack. If the Reset removes the problem and it doesn't reappear, that should be the end of it. If the problem reappears after the factory reset, you should contact Roku and Paramount again and give them the information about your device. When a factory reset eliminates an issue, it's difficult to determine the injection's source, and little can be done. Solutions can only be developed for persistent and recurring problems. Good luck! (Note: I do not work for Roku or Paramount) I'm only a concerned white hat!
Roku is very Factory Reset friendly. Depending on which apps you use, many settings for access, such as authentication and passwords, are handled by Roku. That is for most, but not all apps. I found the process surprisingly easy. I could have been lucky. Roku automatically loaded and installed most of the apps I used previously, then authenticated and logged me in. You must do it for apps Roku cannot handle, usually independent payers (ex: not through Roku). This generally required installing the missing app, logging into the app's website on your phone and providing the app's website with the code provided by the login section of the newly installed app in Roku. Most of us have done this before. This handled all my other exceptions. The whole thing took me around five minutes. Good luck!
Is it possible to hardcode subs with ffmpeg? By hardcode, I mean overlaying the subtitles as pictures on top of the video, and would be unremovable because they would be a part of the video.I tried to convert the subtitle to .ass and then tried to encode it, but ffmpeg does not do anything, and returns the same file. I used VLC to encode them, but it just embeds them in the video file itself and does not include them as pictured direclty overlayed on the video.My end result should be something like this:
With this command, you set the source of the subtitles filter to the file containing the subtitles. If you want to burn the subtitles of the input video file itself, replace sub.srt with the name of the input video file.
Note that I replaced the WMV/WMA output from the original question with H.264 and AAC. ffmpeg doesn't have an encoder for recent versions of WMV, so your output would have looked quite bad. And since you're hardcoding the subtitles, you have to re-encode the video anyway.
Note: If the output says something about No usable fontconfig configuration file found, using fallback, you must create inside ffmpeg's bin folder a new folder named fonts with a file inside (fonts.conf) that specifies where ffmpeg must look for fonts.
I have been watching a lot of shows on Netflix lately in French, (please note the original language is English, so it is dubbed) with French subtitles. I find that the subtitles rarely match what is actually being spoken!
