I’ve got one but I bought it from Nest, not Google. TBH I’m surprised it was supported this long, not in a thankful way but because Google is so anti consumer. I didn’t realize the app didn’t work until I saw this post. I’m glad to find out now, not during a heatwave where I’m trying to cool the house when I’m driving home.

Right now YouTube TV is how NFL Sunday Ticket is delivered. I know a few people who have it for that reason. Otherwise it’s mostly old people who dumped cable.

People can accept the religions of others, particularly if it motivates them to be better people, help others, or find inner peace. If you don’t share this guys specific religious views, then it appears he’s actively trying to bring about the end of the world.

Isn’t 2k and 1080P basically the same thing?

I don’t mind cloud services as an automation overlay, but at that point you basically have an Alexa powered Harmony remote, which is unlikely to provide the level of telemetry that Bezos demands. This bed situation is great though. It’s a concrete demonstration for enthusiastic techies about why you shouldn’t connect objects to the web just because you can.

I tried I installing that already but I think it just won’t work with the snap version of Firefox.

Did you notice if GPU video decoding works in the browser? Eg VP9, h.264? I’d been struggling to get it to work with Wayland and suspect it isn’t possible.

Which driver does it install? Does it choose or do you? I’m curious how the installation process compares to Ubuntu. My install is a little borked because I started with Xorg and AMD and 22.04 and switched to Wayland and Nvidia and 24.04 all around the same time. It works but was a PITA to reconfigure everything.

It happens every time different types of ram are phased out. The price drops for a while until excess inventory is sold off and then prices increase due to scarcity. You wouldn’t see it with SSDs because new models tend to be backward compatible.

I swear the companies hard code solutions for weird edge cases so their investors are fooled into believing that their LLMs are getting smarter.

Your tv price is subsidized by the presence of those network connections. I recommend using universal remote.

I blacklist the TVs Ethernet and WiFi MAC addresses. I strongly encourage using a computer, Apple TV, or anything that can’t fingerprint everything you use your tv for.

On desktop, check out VacuumTube which is app that acts as a wrapper for YouTube Leanback (tv/console version) and has ad blocking built in.

“We don’t really review it [the list] because we are an agent for them,” Ananad said. “For the requests that we send out ourselves, usually they get reviewed, but sometimes they [clients] do a search by themselves, and they come across some content and they flag it and they’re like, ‘We want this taken down.’ We don’t review that because that is something that they want taken down. I’m not particularly sure about this case, but that is what happens. What we planned on doing was also reviewing these but it’s usually not very fruitful, because the user is very sure they want that claim. And even if we say, ‘Hey, we don’t think you should do that,’ they’re like, ‘We want to do it. Just do it because I’m paying you for this.’ And if we just say, do it yourself, that kind of takes away the business from us. So that is basically how it works.”

What?

More important for your analogy is to keep the masses paying indulgences.

That’s convenient to swap a battery but I feel like my phone is more likely to get soaked than need a battery swap at any time in the next two years. The FP6 is IP55 rated.

Looks like FP6 battery is £45 and iPhone 14 is £60-£90 depending where you buy it. I know I can get that done in the next hour or two where I live, so I don’t see it as a big deal.

The replaceable camera feature is more compelling because a broken front iPhone camera can effectively brick the device.

It seems like fewer people care about being spied on, “I have nothing to hide”, and many people don’t even change the settings to prevent sharing contacts, photos, and location with privacy hostile apps like Facebook.

The hardware is absolutely not mid. It is inflexible. Compare the entry level MacBook Air to any comparable Windows laptop and you’ll be spending much more to get close to the same performance/battery/build quality. The thing that makes them successful is creating a unified ecosystem that is hard to leave. People don’t pick Apple because they are a bunch of idiot clones who are enamored with TV ads.

Android is all of the downsides of Apple now with none of the upsides. I prefer the company selling a walled garden over the one selling my internet activity.

Nearly 100% of the development for handheld Linux is Steam OS / Steam Deck. If Valve moves to ARM at some point then you might see useful improvements that benefit the mobile use case.
