Global alone have 56,000 billboards in London and they aren't even the largest.

This is flat out not true.

Because it's a bit like someone telling you that they're going to burn your house down so you can claim on the insurance and you'll be better off. It might be technically true in some circumstances, but I still don't wan

It doesn't even really mean that, the ones that care are already geofiltered. Most of these feeds only work in their country of origin.

Gemini Apps doesn't offer the ability to talk to the clock app on Samsung devices.

The HSBC bank app uses this and is in the Play Store.

Oh yeah, this is completely true. It would be a shoebox that barely ran Windows 98 and it wouldn't make much difference, and Apple's tools have completely failed to keep pace with this reality.

Does anyone at Google care that you're trying to replace Assistant with this in the next few months and it can't set a timer yet? (I mean it will tell you it's set a timer but it doesn't talk to the native clock app so n

New Android phones do prompt you (with a six month trial) to sign up to the Google One tier with Gemini 2 included as part of set up now.

That's because they don't declare taking out long term bonds as part of their p/e calculations, just the cost of servicing the loan. Netflix were borrowing circa $4 billion dollars a year to license content until two years ag

The US ban banned app stores from providing their free applications, which is just as much as a technical choke point as DNS and nothing to do with financial transactions.

This is bollocks. Netflix gained popularity because they sold their service artificially cheap at a loss for many years to build market share and Kill off their competition, and that's it.

The UK literally requires DNS providers to do poisoning via Cleanfeed by law for child pornography.

Yes and quite possibly.

This isn't true at all. Legal action costs lots of money, no matter who you are, and it's slow. Threatening legal action is usually the most successful mechanism to make things happen, even if you have a one hundred percent chance

What? Literally all those services have piracy problems, and pretty much any time piracy drops it's because of more effective DRM, not service.

The development that slows will not be parts that allow monetisation. They have a rationale. They will be things like security that have no immediate bottom line impact.

Your phone provider does sell your information. The majority of Netflix users over the next few years will be advertising based users. That just doesn't bring in enough profit because people are not willing to pay enough subscription t

Is this the Spotify that is a broadly unprofitable business, which is why it's so desperate to enter into new ones, or the Spotify that has DRM?

Increasingly browsers can do it too - Edge, Chrome for Windows 11, Firefox on Windows 11 and Safari on Macs have the ability to access hardware DRM if the hardware supports it. They will need a fallback, but reducing the resolution signific

YouTube has blocked access to videos considered to be "adult" (not porn but anything vaguely risqué) in Europe without signing into an account and performing credit card age verification for five years.

> Though I'm not sure YouTube would go that far for now? Netflix, Amazon and such have contracts with right-holders stating those protections as a requirement, but YouTube does not have (IMO thankfully) the same kind of relation and

Any TV client that has an official YouTube app has been required to have DRM hardware for seven or eight years now, it's literally part of the terms for carrying it.

That's terribly unfair. It could mean the British government too (the UK legal implementation is even worse. At least Australia commissioned a report on age verification. The British government just assumed it was fine because the trad

MacOS is a lot less solid than it used to be. Not just in UI terms, but the current networking stack is garbage compared to the Snow Leopard era, we've had versions of the OS ship that couldn't read FAT32 properly, frameworks ar
