People just love to hate on Apple. The true premier US American company, long before Tesla.

Thank you!

I may get some hate for this but Safari is superior IMO. Especially with the private relay I get with my iCloud+ plan.

Yes, and the underlying technology for internet voice traffic is called SIP. It’s kind of a pain in the ass.

Yea I was a sysadmin for a while. Now I am joining another startup for espresso machine repair. There is apparently a solid market for it. Those machines need to be maintained, much like a car… and people will always drink espresso. 🤷🏻♂️

Some people actually believe that a group of wealthy people are working to improve the lives of the working class. That’s the baffling part.
- Comment on Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship Machine 4 weeks ago:
The wealthy have unbreakable class solidarity. If only we could be more like them in that aspect.
- Comment on Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship Machine 4 weeks ago:
Yes. US democrats are corporate. Not nearly as far to the left as the media would have you believe. I’m not even convinced we have a true left wing.

Jokes on them. I am literally changing careers right now. One where I will have the freedom to make my own schedule. The well of IT jobs in Texas is drying up fast.

Eh. There’s like 6 apps that provide free channels like that, with actual good content. Obviously there are commercials, but it’s really not bad.

I didn’t know about that. Manufactured by Bandai. That’s kinda cool.

I used to support an IVA cluster. Now the only thing I use AI for is voice controls to set timers on my phone.

Right now I’m watching Jeremy Clarkson drive a Peel P50 through a BBC office space.

That blows. I just use the Plex app on my TV for free streaming channels. 24/7 Top Gear reruns FTW!

That’s actually a great point. The power grid can’t handle that.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
Cool. I’m going to continue enjoying an ad free experience on my TV, and people in this thread can continue using shit platforms that force ads all they want.
As if you aren’t looking for the same functionality mine comes with out of the box.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
I don’t really understand the hate for Android TV. It’s pretty obvious to me (since I use both) that they’re trying to compete with Apple TV. Android TV has a lot of great settings and features. When I’m not doing anything with it, it automatically shows a screensaver of my choosing - just like Apple TV does. I have quick and easy access to the movies I’ve purchased on my YouTube account as well.
Any assumption that Android TV will force ads on its users tells me they haven’t used it.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
So far what?
Even if they do start putting ads on Android TV, all I have to do is switch over to my Apple TV. That’s the best performing streaming device on the market, regardless of your opinion on Apple.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
That’s such a cool and novel opinion. Wow. My Android TV does everything I need it to right out of the box. Never fucking shows me advertisements, and actually made it easier for me to stop paying for an overpriced Hulu subscription.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
I’m not surrending shit. It’s really Android TV, they just call it Google. But whatever man, go off.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
I’ve much preferred Google TV for some time now. The recommendations and live free tv options are essentially built into the UI. Although I do use the Roku app as one of my free streaming options lol.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
It’s 1000% worth it to spend a little extra on a TV to get one that runs Google TV. Android is just superior compared to Roku in this regard. I actually have an Apple TV 4K as well, and regularly switch between the two.
