Neat

👏

Not even in an interesting or corrupt way. “Our engineers think it would be better to do it this way, any objections?” And then everyone talks about it.

And this was the mental roadblock I hit trying to imagine a world without lobbyists.

As if we could ignore every voice with some connection to a profit motive (ignoring thousands of experts), etc

Well said!

Awesome, what’s keeping you busy these days? (If this is an account where it’s OK to share that on)

The buffer only stores one video, for direct user experience purposes only, and is wiped upon playback of a subsequent video.

Well that’s just my assumption based on the company’s data privacy reputation (lul I grinned typing that)

Love how aggressive Alphabet’s Google’s YouTube is after watch history’s disabled.

Awesome. How’s the Addy privacy posture looking?

I sent them a message letting them know that either someone at their company is selling customer info to scammers or their database has been leaked, then I shut off the alias.

Ice cream cones, no?

Any ideas for easy OTA on a Roku smart TV w/o using the built-in OS?

Ahahahaha that’s awesome

You using an OTA tuner with some HD Homerun app or anything? Boooo needing Roku’s interface for antenna TV (on Roku smart TVs) cuz Apple didn’t solve for that (why would they I guess, $treamers as they are)

It didn’t look like there was any fantastic super easy OTA solution for Apple TV. Fine for us but maybe not the elderly. IDK

Hey!

They’re not always BS. Just most of the time!

Or are they? Some of the companies who are the best at it and seem to be genuinely trying have been shown not to be able to guarantee one way or the other.

“Wait, someone cut down that forest we planted?!” (no joke)

Edit: see REC clarification below (thanks!)

I worry about price discrimination

Ban anything bigger than a Kei?
