So now children are exposed to psychoactive drug fumes in our parks, with no way to avoid them. Ideal, such progress.

Yes, you cannot drive if you smoke cannabis at all. Seems fine, now just get them off the road.

I mean forget that, all modern desktop browsers (at least) start with the string 'Mozilla/5.0', still, in a world where Chrome is so dominant.

Nokia E61 perfectly aped the blackberry form factor and also had a great keyboard (with f & j nubs). I still fondly remember mine.

Maybe half this, based on the living room photos I see online is that people have their tv mounted multiple feet too high for comfortable watching.

But didn't like 99% of people do a dead stop on buying physical media before 4k became a thing? If there's something truly rare and hard to find, sure I'll watch it in some low-res format, but when it's online in 4k...

I fear Sky and whoever else already has long term exclusive deals for HBO shows across the EU will continue to make things a mess.

I don't see what Netflix's play is here. If you're in the netflix app, they're happy. AppleTV integration just effectively adds more homescreen shortcuts taking you back into Netflix e.g. from the AppleTV app 'conti

What infra needs to be integrated? They just get the rights, add the movies and shows to the Netflix CDN, turn off whatever b.s. infrastructure Warner were previously operating.

They've had some moments of greatness. Patriot is absolutely up there with any TV ever, though quite different to any of their other originals.

You've never heard of google search (with AI), gmail (with ai), google maps (with ai). Not to mention that most android devices come with google-ified apps that are at worst a click away from Google AI being on the device, in many case

We briefly had a reasonably priced, all pro cycling coverage streaming service called GCN plus. Swallowed by Discovery and then (in the UK) bundled into a 30 GBP a month sports package called TNT that comes with a little bit of premier leag

Based on what culture exactly? Can you name a single Chinese worldwide hit movie or TV show from the last 12 months? I can think of only Korean Squid Game and a few Japanese anime shows that are somewhat successful. Do Chinese movies even g

I've watched and enjoyed Andor since, but yeah other than that zero star wars movies and TV shows since episode 8. I hear 9 was also hilariously bad, but I'll not ever bother seeing it.

Oh, and I'll see your youtube and Raise you the Discovery Plus app (Maybe UK only?). The content they offer is either a big back catalog of reality TV dross, or Live sport. The live sport streams, when left open when the AppleTV is tur

I mean, the biggest appeal of AppleTV is competent, high quality video casting via airplay 2 from a phone or laptop. Easily the least bad way to watch youtube on a TV is with airplay turned on from an iphone (with Youtube premium).

Have you used it recently? It's as fast as any competing browser, has no showstopping problems, has native vertical tab support and is the only place you can still get ublock origin.

And it has terrible reviews... 5k is appealing, but I'll take a 4k with a much nicer panel, much better anti-reflective coating, faster refresh rate etc.

Retina is available for only a handful of 5k 27" monitors, most of which aren't great, and all of which are only 60Hz. It's really hard to buy one given how expensive / badly specced they are compared to 4k monitors, eve

Curious, I've been running 2 profiles at once for a while on MacOS and they have separate icons / app management. It's a Windows thing. A way you might get around this (if acceptable) is to run one profile from a beta or dev

A Macbook (air) is no longer a crazy expensive unobtainable thing, just a perfectly reasonable mid-price choice for most people. Whereas a good graphics card alone is still insane money.

It's simply utterly pointless as things stand due to the camera. They claim it's thin, but the camera makes it far thicker.
