It was definitely more akin to one of those awful phone lines where you have to say something to progress than someone pressing buttons

Nothing probably compares to the sheer plastic waste of a large commercial kitchen. Everything comes in plastic from Cisco. And you wrap everything in plastic and just toss it over and over again.

Which is short-sighted.
- Comment on Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It 1 year ago:
The studios did not have to build their own services. And a lot of them willingly pulled their shows from places like Netflix to build their own services. And there was enough players in the game at the time when Netflix began dropping a shows that someone else like prime or hulu was willing to spend a lot of money to pick them up.
From my point of view, even if overall it was potentially less money. That doesn’t factor in just the cost of operating your own content. They have to hire a whole new division to develop the website and app and streaming service and pay all those people. Or they could have just sold it to someone else to do all that work. And said we know what we have. We know you want friends on your service. Lol.
And even on top of that studios had no idea how lucrative streaming services were going to be. So they should have just renegotiated better contracts for the content they were selling. A lot of them ended as it was which is when they got pulled from places like Netflix. And I absolutely guarantee you Netflix would have been able to pay way more for something like Parks and rec or the office if they wanted to. Because Netflix knows just a sheer numbers game on those types of shows.

I just for the life of me cannot understand why all these companies thought it was a good idea to invest the time, money, resources, infrastructure, maintenance, and so many other things into developing their own service. Instead of just pawning off their content to some other sap who has to do all that shit for you. And making them pay you a pretty penny because you know they want your content. It’s just such incredible short-sightedness from companies that are constantly just chasing the biggest dollar. Like if anyone thought about it for a minute, all these companies would see that it wasn’t worth it to develop these services. They got scared cuz Netflix made some of its own good content. But realistically, if they just calm down they would have realized that Netflix can’t make bangers forever. And they’re still going to be invested in buying content from you. These big company should have gotten together and figured out how to reduce the price of cable so people fucking sign up for it and keep watching the mass amount of fucking ads.

- Comment on Starlink Direct to Cell 1 year ago:
Like thousands upon thousands of dollars to run cable because the infrastructure doesn’t exist at all. And yes, ISPs are absolutely to blame for rural internet issues. They don’t see it as a valuable investment so they don’t want to expand to those areas because it’s such a small community and instead put the burden on the community. Even though the government subsidizes the shit out of them for them to do specifically stuff like this. They don’t have enough rules they have to follow.

Where can I buy DRM free digital media please? Because as far as I know, there’s not many large or easily accessible companies that most people are familiar with that offer that.
- Comment on Best Buy to end DVD & Blu-ray disc sales 1 year ago:
Just a reminder that anything digitally bought you don’t own. The company you bought it from. Can do whatever they want with it. But you do sure as hell ownon a Blu-ray
- Comment on Starlink Direct to Cell 1 year ago:
I know a lot of people have issues with Elon musk. But starlink really has been an incredible game changer for people in rural areas or places where it’s not practical to get cell or internet service. My parents live on the side of a mountain in Colorado where there’s no cell service and it would have been thousands of dollars to run an internet line. Starlink has completely changed the game for their connection to the outside world and with us. I’m sure this will be even better for them.

Fun fact. If your cancel prime and dont order that frequently they will offer a month free over and over no matter how times they’ve given you free months. Then i do a whole buncha ordering in that one month and cancel prime. Free prime forever.

- Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money? 1 year ago:
The rights they acquired through this purchase are easily worth that money alone. An investment does not have to immediately make a return. They acquired the rights to decades upon decades of films TV shows TV channels. I don’t even think you understand the scale of how much they got in that deal. And there is plenty other things that they are working on that they are getting returns from. Just because you don’t see it on the surface doesn’t mean it ain’t happening. God damn it aint hard. You’re looking at a super tiny sample size with just superhero movies being the hinge case for why they did it. They got so much more than I think you realize.
- Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money? 1 year ago:
Because it all makes money and audiences are easily manipulated. Tbh it seems like you just have a chip on your shoulder that no rational explanation for what 20th century is doing under disney will explain or satisfy. So imma be done with this cause you are objectively wrong. And Disney buying 20th century was worth it for the simple fact of less competition and the superhero properties they gained back. They really don’t need shit else to make it worth it given how much money they make on cinema as is .
- Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money? 1 year ago:
Do you have any idea how long it takes to write and produce and shoot new movies? Thats a lot of movies coming or in development for a studio. Also given that superhero movies are some of the most valuable properties in the world right now. That absolutely makes sense for just the X-Men. And they’re just slowly introducing them to the universe. It’s called story building. They also got along the X-Men from Fox basically having complete rights to all their characters now besides a few universal studios rights and Sony’s film rights.

You can definitely just buy your own modem. Or buy your own Wi-Fi router. The company has to let you put their ISP modem into bridge mode. Then you can have way more control over the family members usage of the internet
