Old Samsung HDTVs were awesome, but that's changed in the last few years. They added features like in-menu ads to the low end models that seem to be trickling up their top end as well. I also have a buggy 1.5 year old Samsung stove tha

I can agree that the ads are dependent on the apps in your top bar. I hve Plex, Prime, Netflix, Disney, & YouTube in mine and I don't see any ads.

Their developer blog goes further: "But for those who already have an app on Google Play that requires technical work to integrate our billing system, we do not want to unduly disrupt their roadmaps and are giving a year (until Septemb

Epic already has their own store. The real question is how will Netflix and Spotify pivot? Will they turn their apps into some form of store to allow their own payment mechanism? Or will they turn to a third party store? > no app updat

I'm familiar - I had a top 15 paid app for a few years. That position drove all of our sales.

That's a Google / Play Store limitation, not a technical one.

This is an interesting play and a signal that Google wants out of the app store game. Keep in mind Google is supposedly opening up Android to better support third-party app stores. Essentially, these two changes will motivate major apps lik

We have a Samsung oven. Often I'll lean a pot lid against the back and a random button event will be triggered (like setting the over to Bake). The lib doesn't press any buttons, it just triggers something via proximity (and steam

You're only telling half of the story. Yes they overreached, but it was scaled back last week with AB 2257.

I got the impression that Restream is mostly used for talks / podcasts. I know of DJs who use the service to hit YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and maybe Mixcloud all at the same time. In that case, they're not trying to grow a platfo

Huh? They're not streaming to thousands of viewers - they're just forwarding to a few services. That's nothing.

What size chair are you using (A/B/C)? I had similar problems when I used a C which was too big. I sold it and got a B and haven't had problems since.

I love the mesh HM Aeron Chair because my clothes won't get sweaty during the summer. One of the best things about the Bay Area is that HM chairs are always easy to find used on Craigslist for ~$250 and they'll last 10+ years. Tha

Apple TV has a Developer overlay with video metadata (requires XCode & dev account). Yeah, there's a clear difference, especially on Disney & Apple. Apple is very close to 4K blu-ray (there's some YouTube vids comparing th

I didn't do anything fancy. I simply turned on the Developer overlay in my Apple TV 4K and played a few 4K movies (if available) in each service. The bitrates were consistent within each platform. I was very surprised by Apple's n
