  • UK says sharing Netflix passwords could be illegal

    This is nonsense. Terms of service are in the contract and provide for family sharing. Now if one was to share outside that then it would be for Netflix to bring charges for breach of contract. The ICO would only have an interest if someone was hacking passwords and really seem to have overstated here. Yes there are more pressing things for the government to attend to, and disabling users from given locations is completely within Netflix’s control. Maybe someone from Netflix bought the ICO lunch and asked for a firm statement 😉
    Stop with the legal mumbo jumbo of which you know nothing. 
    Ah you’re an expert on UK copyright law too? Well whoever would have guessed 🙃

    You would think that the UK government has enough to do with its economy tanking, families struggling to eat or to stay warm, and Brexit costing the nation $48 billion in lost tax revenue annually, but no. The UK government and whoever is Prime Minister this week, is very hot on preventing lawbreakers, despite itself regularly threatening to break international law.

    Wow I had to check the URL to make sure this wasn’t some random guy on Reddit parroting their unwanted opinion. Bitter much? You have an issue with the government preventing lawbreakers? Presumably you would you be quite happy for someone to steal your property. 

    This, apparently, is not the place for political opinion. People in the forum get banned/silenced when they get political, so perhaps you should lead by example and not goad people into banned political discussion on an Apple rumour site.

    £46 for a genuine Apple battery, that's surprisingly good. Much cheaper than taking it to an Apple Store. I'll definitely be using this in the future. Nice job Apple.

  • iFixit calls the 10.9-inch iPad an iPad Air, but worse

    iFixit calls the 10.9-inch iPad baffling, interesting, and disappointing all in one. They recommend customers just buy an older iPad Air 4 and avoid the oddities.
    Heh. Remember, never listen to iFixit regarding your product choices. They really don'y have a good perspective on product design.

    Well, the video guy reading the script at least comes off as more snark than actual product review. Ie, they aren't making a serious recommendation.
    AI has said pretty much the same thing themselves. It's a bodge of bits. For example you can only use a first gen Apple Pencil with it, and need a stupid dongle to convert the USB-C port to a lightning socket.

    The Daily Star is one of the worst rags in the UK, might as well be reporting a rumour from Facebook. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-star-uk/
