As someone with no knowledge of windows, what’s with their naming scheme? Is this some DOS remnant? Without context the name alone would be reason to fail code review.

I'm kind of OK with that, honestly, as a) they're trivially skippable, b) there's no financial implication to watching it, and c) I turn on HBO to watch stuff so if they're letting me know I already paid for something th
