It seems I'm gonna learn something new when muxing it back together.
I'm not interested in the whole movie, as I could just buy Blu ray, but I wanted to have original English audio alongside the Czech dubbing. And I didn't really want to buy DVD or Blu ray for audio only. I already have 1080p video and Czech uncensored audio, but I own DVD which has only censored (shortened) tracks, so I just wanted to get full English audio.
I gueas the movie isn't that great if you look at it from critics standpoint, but it was part of my childhood and I simply love it. Rubber Duck is The Hero for me and his truck is The Hero nonetheless. It's nice movie to just sit down and relax, I guess.
Let me know what you think about it if you watch it!

Since then I pulled the whole family and a few friends into it and it is my way of resisting Meta's and other's apps (like WhatsApp, Viber etc.).
Element runs on Matrix protocol, has E2EE, you can use elevated trust by scanning your friend's device when you meet in real life, you have to manage your own keys, the don't get uploaded anywhere (meaning you can lose your conversation history when installing on a new phone if you don't have the keys from your old one and no backup). It is open source and kinda nerdy IM thing.
You can even run your own Matrix server and connect through that, no need to access any public servers.

About Graphene though:
- if you are gonna use Google services (store, gmail app, photos etc.), you may bot gain that much freedom
- there are specifics about privileges for Google apps, say you want to share your position via Google maps - you don't have to let Maps use your positin, you have to let Google services use it... In Graphene I relized how fucked up this Google ecosystem is - every permission MUST go through Google services. You want to scan EAN code on your Tesco card to add it to your Google Wallet? You have zo enable camera for Google services and the Wallet doesn't even need camera access!
- if you are able, you could likely run Google-less, but it means probably ni banking app, which is real bummer, and lots of manual installs - ie. Steam can be downloaded and installed manually. Home Assistant can come via F-Droid but it's just minimal package, not full one like in Google store, Immich can come from F-Droid but it's a bit behind in versions...
Anyway - Graphene comes with like 13 apps installed and actually no e-mail client. You can install Google play and associated things right from Graphene (no need to download on some shady web). But since there are almost no apps on the phone, it made me pick my own. I use Fairmail (kinda mess to do first setup, but very nice afterwards), Immich instead of Google Photos (which I have installed because of the Pixel camera app not showing last photo if Photos are not installed), I use FOSS calendar, I use FOSS file explorer... It let's you think out-of-the-box, if you want, that's it.
I still have many apps from Google store - for convenience, as I already use Wallet, Maps, Family Link and others. I can't get rid of it completely.
Graphene itself is just like pure Android and works great. You just set it up and there you go. It's not experimental OS, it is fully functional and keeps releasing (security) updates quite frequently.
The only problems were with privileges for Google.apps as they tend to run through Google services (meaning you have to let Google services have the privileges).
Feel free to ask specific questions.

And we also have hackers and crackers that allow usage of such downloaded games and microSD cards.
Wouldn't it be great if we didn't need any of this? If the company that makes the hardware did that for us in the beginning?

If you could do that one, it would be awesome - I'm interested only in the English audio track (I could provide FFmpeg command to extract just that).
Since neither of the versions correspond to the length that I have, I wonder what is the version that I have...
EDIT: I'm sorry, but due to new information from @mantrid, if I could, @lelio, I would pick number 12, as I would surely have extended edition, but it is PAL which likely runs 25fps and thus a bit faster - this is probably why I have shorter runtime. I'm sorry for inconvenience.

Pretty much the title.
I love the movie, I watched when I was a kid from a VHS tape with really bad Czech dubbing, but I loved the trucks and how truckers fought against corrupt sheriff. I don't have the VHS anymore (not even means to play it), but I got DVD with Czech and English dubbing. Sadly the Czech dubbing isn't that great in this version and I watched English original.
Not long ago I managed to record terrestrial broadcast of the movie in 1080p with the same Czech dubbing AND in full version (there is a scene where trucker shows his ass on the camera), sadly this version doesn't have original English dubbing.
I'm looking for someone who would have the original (this is a must) DVD or Blu ray of the full uncensored version of the movie with original English dubbing - it should be 107 minutes long (1:47 hours), NOT 104 minutes.
If there somehow happens to be someone who has this movie and is able to rip it to their computer, could you please leave a comment here?
And because I don't really believe I will find somebody, let's discuss the movie itself in the meantime. Have you seen it? What is your take on it? Do you play American Truck Simulator with Rubber Duck's truck modded in as I do?

It may be 30 years from now, but it will come. I'm not even going into other storefronts...
The best one would be GOG where you can download installers and keep your games that way.
And then there are CDs and DVDs some of which I still have.
But even if I stopped vuying games today, I have games to.play for next ten years, probably even more.
It's like movies for me - not many new ones are that good that I want to watch/play them, I'd rather watch/play something older that still has the quality - Godfather, Terninator 2, Home Alone, Abyss, Hunt for Red October, Spencer&Hill movies, Bond movies... Or Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 1&2, Baldur's Gate 1&2, Age of Empires 2... There are many great games from the past that I can easily play todays and enjoy them more than many modern titles.
There are also modern ones that are great - Dune, Ford vs. Ferrari, Hail Mary... Or Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk, ...

I never saw a game like this and I loved exploring the universe and getting to know more and more about and putting the pieces together. And I was surprised about what happened 22 minures in and it took me a few loops to understand that. You are in for a great ride with this one!

It was kinda pain to get it running, as I want 30fps, 9W TDP limit and at least some graphics. I ended up in medium graphics and I live with say 25-30 fps with some drops here and there. But the game has to be played with at least medium graphics, low looks just straight bad because it lacks a lot of lightning and shadows. Enought technicalities...
The game is kinda Fallout-ish and in sci-fi/space theme. I went with intelligence and perception and I plan on playing speech and lockpick/hack oriented character which seems like a good choice so far, as there are many locked cintainers and many many speech related options.
The game plays a but like say Fallout 3 - first person, many NPCs, many stories, many conversations, many weapons and consumables and modifying/tinkering with your weapons and armor. The story is there, how good it is, I don't remember. Quests are plentiful, well made, some of them may have different outcomes based on your actions or which side you pick.
Overall it is a good FPS/RPG game set in sci-fi world with many options for the player on how to play. And it looks good on medium graphics settings and I imagine it would be stunning even after all the years on ultra. This game isn't all about graphucs though, it scratches that RPG stitch of mine.
As a non-english speaker I did just over 100 and depleted good letters doing that. I can't figure any of the remaining words. Good game though!
