Totally. Doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason. I also don’t understand why skip intro isn’t a thing on purchased shows? Uninstalling the streaming services would work but isn’t really a good solution because what about when someone wants to watch a show that isn’t purchased? And just to heap on, I also really dislike when I’m in TV search and am redirected to something like the Prime video tier that has adds. That’s a serious wtf!? issue, especially for a services I pay for. I would like to disallow any service that has ads and I’d like it to prefer purchased content. Seems like a couple of easy toggle switches in settings.

Yep, came to the comments to see if it’s supposed to be a face. Because I for sure see a face.

This article sounds like it was written by someone who barely understands what a voice assistant is, let alone how a corporation works. Very dumb. Is 9to5 using GPT instead of paying journalists?

They spoke French!? Sus. 🙃

Care to elaborate? Do you agree or disagree with the op on any of their takes?

Nielsen never actually knew what you were watching though. They had to take your word for it. The comparison would be if Nielsen had trackers on your eyes and cameras and microphones in your house. I do agree most concerns about data collection are overblown, but that doesn’t mean opening yourself up to any and all data collection is wise. And to act like there’s never an issue of companies taking your data for ill is laughably naïve IMO. If nothing else, unnecessarily sharing personal data exposes you as a larger target for things like identify theft.

Anyone able to explain how this really helps though? I mean is Bob Iger going to be like “we have to get this solved quick! I’m trying to hear Gin and Juice live!”

Specifically as an iOS/Apollo refugee I want better media handling. Apollo Gif and Video player was excellent. I’d like to be able to scrub more easily. Better API integration with content hosts. Also better OS integration. I know people using Apollo got butt hurt because iOS put the text recognition image over the bottom corner of pics, but I got very used to being able to quickly copy text out of images and things like that. Also Memmy is never recommended in the OS where Reddit official app is constantly recommended despite my hardly ever using it. That’s the app asking the OS to be recognized based on usage factors, and it’s something the dev has to build in.

It seems like Apple’s Self Service Repair program might already be in compliance, which would mean if the EU agrees all Apple would have to do is make it fully available in all the member states. The EU might get really aggressive in their definitions, but it’s not really in their best interest at a certain point.

iPhone battery replacement process won’t change anytime soon (if ever)

One of us. One of us.

I think streaming is a pretty big factor. Lots of households who already have D+ saying to the family let’s just wait and watch it at home? Those longer home video windows had an effect.
