  • Netflix blames account sharing for first subscriber loss in a decade

    robin huberrobin huber
    We started as DVD people because the best/ newest content was on them. Then Netflix separated the DVD business from streaming in an effort to kill it. So much blowback that they offered a combo subscription which we had for a few years. Over that time the DVD selection degraded to the point that there was nothing worth watching. Just cancelled our combo subscription to save a few bucks. So long, DVDs. We preferred them because our Spectrum service is shitty but we could always depend on a Blueray for quality image. Toward the end though we got a number of damaged discs as Netflix was doing its best to wean us off them.

    Cue the union haters. Drag out all the tired old union busting memes.

    Would rather have my car key in my phone than my license. Use that more often.

  • How the new Mac Studio fills a crucial gap in Apple's desktop lineup

    How’s this for an nonsensical statement “ There's certainly a case to be made for Apple to add a new 27-inch iMac to its lineup, but it wouldn't have met the need of many users that the Mac Studio caters to.”

    Ok there’s some (no evidence for many) that want something like the Mac Studio and its component style. But the history of strong sales of the integrated 27” iMac makes a strong case for a demand for a M1 27” iMac and probably a higher demand than for Mac Studio. The business market was a strong buyer of 27” iMacs for its appearance and easy upkeep and no cables. Apple writers seem to be ignorant of business when they make statements such as the foregoing one. 
    Agree. What’s so problematic about an iMac in two sizes? The only thing I can think of is this. I have heard that the Studio screen is basically the same one that came in the previous 27” iMac. Could it be that due to supply constraints Apple has redirected all of them to the new Studio? One thing is for sure, I am not downgrading screen size on our two older 27” iMacs in order to get the M1. Nor will I spend extra to get the Mini/Studio combo.
