- Despegar 5y agoWebsites are unregulated. iOS apps have to abide by Apple's terms. This is exactly why developers are mad about any number of things: paying Apple's commission, but also complying with their privacy dictates.
- swiley 5y agoApparently Apple's terms aren't that great for some users.
- mumblemumble 5y agoI've noticed, for example, that they seem to be particularly upsetting to Android users.
- babypuncher 5y agoHow so?
- howinteresting 5y agoAs a really simple example, the App Store does not have a torrent remote app while the Play Store and F-Droid have them.
- syntheticnature 5y agoIf you want a computer connected to your TV instead of a streaming box, you know where to find it.
- 6510 5y agoMy HP mini is to crappy to play youtube videos on its tiny poor resolution screen even playing them on the lowest resolution (which shouldn't even count) but if I download the videos and attach a huge monitor to it VLC just cruises though GB+ sized HD video files without dropping a frame. Transmission is good enough. Spend another 7 euro on a TB storage device[0] - you deserve it! More movies to watch than your health can take. The digital prison builders are less offensive than their supporters. Remember to point and laugh when they complaint about their self-funded captivity. Its an important public service to point and laugh as they are paving the way for our imprisonment. We clearly didn't laugh hard enough in the past. edit: [0] - for the pun ill add a promotional link: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/311843/bestmedia-platinum-mydrive-usb-20-1tb-zwart.html https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/311843/bestmedia-platinum-my...
- 6510 5y agoI'm still laughing.
- swiley 5y agoThis is what I do. Many streaming services artificially degrade the quality and sometimes refuse to work at all when I do this.
- everdrive 5y agoThat's right. I couldn't stream very well from my RPi3, but I can easily play local 1080p videos. We've actually got it hooked up to an old tube TV, so I get 480p when I can.
