  • Data shows 62% of Apple TV+ subscribers are on a trial, most don't plan to renew

    Just as just because I consider Lasso brilliant doesn't mean someone is "wrong" or "foolish" if they don't see it the same way. Just like with food, I'd be leery of declaring something "bad" just because you don't like it. 
    Agree with most of what you said, except this. If someone does not consider Ted Lasso brilliant they are both “wrong” and “foolish”. :-)

    I love Apple TV+. Although I’m on my first year free, I plan to annually renew for $49.99 when my free year is over in July. Ted Lasso alone makes it worth the annual price which is only $4.19 a month. Many other great shows.
    We have it as part of Apple One Premier, but would have subscribed even without that. You are right on Ted Lasso (I would almost argue the darts scene was worth a whole season subscription - have rewatched that scene several times). :-) We have also watched GreyhoundThe Morning ShowFor All MankindSee, and Tiny World. (Just that would get it down to less than $1 an hour of watched content.) We are interested in Truth Be ToldDefending JacobServant and Dickinson, but have not yet had time to watch them. In contrast, I think the only Disney + show we have watched is The Mandoloian. We plan to watch Soul, but have not yet.

  • Arlo wired video doorbell now supports Apple HomeKit

    Eff that. Waiting for that tech that makes it possible to not have hubs; whatever that crap is that the HomePod mini has.
    Thread would not replace this hub, nor the one from Eufy. Thread is low speed data and would not be fast enough for high quality video. These hubs are not like Zigbee/Zwave hubs, but video aggregators.

  • Apple TV+ originals to support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, device compatibility varies

    So are they going to upgrade all my HD movies purchased from iTunes to 4K for free? I have ATV HD.
    They upgraded most films purchased on iTunes to 4K for free when they introduced 4K support. Go look at the information on any of your purchased titles to check.

  • Long, optical Thunderbolt 3 cables are coming soon

    lkrupp said:
    Wondering if these cables could also be USB 4 compatible. Tech reports seem to indicate USB 4 is basically Thunderbolt 3 with USB 2, 3, and 3.1 backward compatibility. 
    When I spoke to the Corning representative at NAB, I was told these would not support USB. USB 4 had not been ratified, so this may change in the future.
