ShapeshiftingFish said: Well, to be fair, even Apple TV+ doesn’t work properly on my 3rd gen ATV (a known issue for many users). On the other hand, HBO apps on my brand new LG WebOS TV set are a sad mess, I guess they just have lazy programers. …

longpath said: The sad thing is that the arguments being made in favor of dispensing with privacy protection parallel arguments used by German National Socialists in the 1930s & ‘40. The phrase, which became a slogan, translates roughly a…

Rayz2016 said: And no, the NHSX weren't right to explore an alternative they knew was never going to fly due to the battery drain. That was just pouring money down the drain. This is the same sort of 'Little Britain' hubris we're used to…
