It’s the same mess for Apple TV. Is Apple TV an app? A service? A device? All three?? Do I need one in order to use the others? Who knows?

  I recently installed an Apple TV in my parents house so I could watch my favorite shows on Apple TV using Apple TV on the Apple TV while visiting them. When I told them I was installing an Apple TV, they thought they were getting a TV, not an Apple TV.

    I'm sure their existing TV is fine for watching apple TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIgKFyQ-GAQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIgKFyQ-GAQ

      I couldn't find any apple tv on Apple TV. But I did find some banana TV on Apple TV to watch on Apple TV on the Apple TV. https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/banana/umc.cmc.bndisxwgzz4c324n858s8yo7 https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/banana/umc.cmc.bndisxwgzz4c3...

  It's almost as though they're competing with Microsoft who can come up with the worst names.

    A friend is currently trying to explain to their company why Office 365 Copilot is not an acceptable substitute for GitHub Copilot. I wish this was a joke.

  It's an app and a device. I do /love/ that on Android phones the Apple TV app can ONLY play Apple TV+ content whereas the Android TV and other Apple TV apps can play iTunes Store content which they may or may not allow purchasing in the app. It's a really great consistent system.
