it's still line judge based (apart from lets on serve, which are computerised) - line judges call the lines first, the lasers come in if a player decides to challenge (and they can only do so like...four times a set or something, to stop the more gamesmanship-minded players from challenging every single call).
it's weird to remember that there was so much debate about bringing it in - it seems such an obvious thing to do in retrospect (the technology had already been available to commentators for YEARS). pretty much everyone loves it, except roger federer. the only vague issue is that it's only available on certain courts at certain tournaments so eg most lower-ranked players won't get to use it. thought it's quite funny to see a top player on an outside court/at a smaller tournament make as if to challenge, then realise they can't.

As this latest ILX personality seems to hijack every thread I read with what I'm still not sure isn't trolling, I'm gonna say Happy Birthday.

always baffling to me when people are riled up by lex. i find his opprobrium at the very least entertaining even if i don't agree. he's good on music he likes, which is usually in places with like "3 new answers" or w/e so tends to be missed? idk

i know he's expressive and vehement when he hates something but c'mon this perception is so weird... do you ever check the bobbins thread or like r&b threads?
