How is it even possible to know when you're streaming 4K from Netflix on AppleTV 4K? I've yet to see a 4K indicator on any Netflix show. Where is the logo hiding?

Cheap. We blow that on taxpayer funded sports stadiums.

Beat me to it, was going to comment on the same — if Apple were an NFL franchise they’d have expected the city to pay for the new HQ. so whack.

I really wouldn't say 2 out of 3 ain't bad for HDR. There is no HLG content and we probably won't see anything for a long time. HLG is meant for broadcast content on cable TV. At the rate it took for stations to change from SD to HD, I'm sure it's going to be years before we see content providers with Live 4K channels in HLG. 

For that matter, there is hardly any 4K HDR10/Dolby Vision content. Even if every movie on iTunes was updated (which doesn't appear to be even remotely close to being the case), it will still be a fraction of the watchable content on Apple TV.

I said it before when people were needlessly whining about the lack of 4K on Apple TV...it is still way early. This is a long-term play, that won't see any real benefit for years to come. Personally, I'm happier to have a 1080p TV right now, because I know that 99% of the content I'm watching is in 1080p.

If there was any reason to, I would run out and buy a 4K TV today and get ready for the 4K Apple TV experience. But there is no reason to. Movies from iTunes is 1 app on Apple TV....1 out of 7 or 8 that get routine use in my house.

I'll check back in 2-3 years when other services have caught up and 99% of content is in 4K and HDR/Dolby Vision.

Oh, and then there's this...http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/busted-equifax-forces-hacked-customers-to-waive-right-to-sue-in-exchange-for-using-its-credit-service/  

That's even if you just ask them if you were hacked!

I'm not seeing that. I put in my surname, the last 6 of my SSN, and clicked the box to prove I'm not a robot. I don't recall agreeing to anything else.

It's there. You agree to waive your rights using the website. When you go to the site to check if you were affected, there is terms of service section on the bottom. When you click on the terms of service, read section 4. 

https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/

I looked it over but I’m not seeing what you say exists. Can you not simply copy the sentence or paragraph that stated that says my rights are waived by simply “using the website” without even signing up for the service or agreeing to their terms of service? Can you also explain how “using the website” legally binds you to anything?

It says this right at the top:

What are the Terms of Use for Equifax?

Below you will find our Product Terms of Use and the Site Terms of Use when using the Equifax website. You can also review our Privacy Policy, which provides information regarding our handling of any personal information that you may provide to us.

On section 4, it says this:

AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS BY REQUIRING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW) AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. ARBITRATION PROVIDES A QUICK AND COST EFFECTIVE MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES, BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT ALSO LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL.

I don't see how this would hold up in court if you are just simply checking to see if you were affected by the data breach. Signing up for the service, that could hold up in court. 

Where does it say this? Why can’t you simply quote the sentence that says “using the website” protects them from being sued even without ever agreeing to their terms of service?

It doesn't say that flat out but that's what it means reading the terms. You are agreeing to the terms of the website by using it. Terms of service on websites are enforceable. You technically don't have to agree to anything either. Legally enforcing the terms is another issue though. 

Bro. That's to purchase their products.
"THIS PRODUCT AGREEMENT AND TERMS OF USE ("AGREEMENT") CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON WHICH YOU MAY PURCHASE AND USE OUR PRODUCTS THROUGH THE WWW.EQUIFAX.COM, WWW.IDENTITYPROTECTION.COM AND WWW.IDPROTECTION.COM WEBSITES AND ALL OTHER WEBSITES OWNED AND OPERATED BY EQUIFAX AND ITS AFFILIATES ("SITE"). YOU MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN SECTION 4 BELOW, BEFORE YOU WILL BE PERMITTED TO REGISTER FOR AND PURCHASE ANY PRODUCT FROM THIS SITE. BY REGISTERING ON THIS SITE AND SUBMITTING YOUR ORDER, YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF, AND YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY, THIS AGREEMENT. YOU ALSO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BY USING OR PAYING FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR TAKING OTHER ACTIONS THAT INDICATE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT."

If people are going to quote an agreement, they really should read the entire agreement. This above is the very first thing in their terms of use, in which you quote #4.

I did read that. If you are looking to see if you were hacked, that means you are using their services, which the terms of service applies too. 

I think you're incorrect. I'm fairly certain they're referring to the purchased product accessed through their web properties which require sign-up, authentication, click agreement, etc.

As has been noted, anybody can enter a last-lame and partial SSN, so there's absolutely no way this simple tool can be covered in that agreement since it doesn't identify the user. 

You said Equifax even clarified to that effect, that clearly your initial interpretation is incorrect.
