The biggest fault here would be whoever was in charge of that bridge. If it collapsed 9 years ago why was it not blocked off?

My mom's LG is so slow it was rage inducing and it's a new tv. My Samsung is better but still not great. The remotes are both terrible and neither is anywhere near the speed of an old apple tv.

There's also still privacy issues. One of the reasons the TV's are cheap these days is because they sell your data.

In addition to firetv being built into many tvs the built in apps on smart tvs are slow compared to a lot of external devices. They also send a lot of data back home and the ones not based on a big platform don't get updated as often or have the same amount to choose from.

I have apple TVs and even the older models from 2015 is faster than smart tvs I've used.

Yeah I don't see feedback and I had to turn off my ad blocker for subscribe to show.

Are you using cloudflare DNS? I was having that issue and when I switched from cloudflare DNS to opendns I stopped getting the captcha loop. It really makes no sense to me because those captcha pages were cloudflare ones.

I'm happy as long as Siri doesn't get worse like Alexa, who will turn on a fan in another room when I say "Alexa, turn on the fan" but if I say turn off the fan it turns off the correct one.

Lack of an official tvOS app and Plex being easy to set up for my family keeps me from switching.

That or tracking anonymous data from people's phones. Hopefully if that's it they go based on if the maps actually load instead of just bars because there's plenty of places with good signal but unusable data due to congestion.

Apple maps will actually suggest storing offline maps if an area you'll be going through is known to have bad cell service. Not sure how they're determining where there's bad service.

Is there an article? I only see a screenshot.

This one isn't click bait. It's not about him saying something dumb, it's about something really dumb he did and in depth. If any other CEO did what this article outlines it would still be worth reading after getting some popcorn ready.

I do. I don't care about twitter itself but this slow moving train wreck is still fun to watch.
