IMO nothing beats the Nvidia TV and I've tried just about everything. Heck, I'm still rocking a 2017 on my main TV (lacks Dolby Vision/Atmos and AI Upscaling but is otherwise fine).

The non-Pro seems to have issues that affect 4k decoding in plex but never seen similar issues on a Pro (I think packing the internals into that small tube was a mistake, and it's overheating, but that's just a guess).

There's some hope Nvidia will come out with a next gen but people have been hoping (and spreading rumours about) that for years.. until there's an official announcement I wouldn't expect it. They continue to support software upgrades though.

Indeed I've never even installed the hue app, always assumed it was just a zigbee thing anyway. The hardware is just a basic zigbee bulb.

Mostly I've been moving to using the ikea ones though as they're much cheaper.

In many countries it's not lawful to spoof a number you don't own, and VOIP providers simply won't let you do it (without sufficient proof of ownership, and a lot of the smaller ones just block such things completely). The phone system is fine and contains to tools to stop this, it's the laws that need fixing.

You could always spoof numbers even back in the analogue days through a primary rate interface but they're expensive and becoming less common... and again illegal to do in many cases.

Of course some random provider in the back of nowhere can still do that kind of thing and you can't really stop it, except for preventing numbers coming from overseas that don't have the right country code (I think this is done in many places now.. it used to be I'd get overseas spam calls that looked local but haven't seen any for a while).

The reaction is more likely 'It's still impossible. Just like we told you all the other times. Idiots.'

Either those entities are registed as charities or they're not. From a quick google it seems they are, so Unity is (again) talking shit.

Dynamic pricing works for transport because people have little choice about when to travel, especially commuters. So you get cheaper pricing when there's less demand without everyone shifting their travel plans to save money.

Not sure if it'll work in a pub. I'll just go to a different one, or go at a different time.. there's no lock in, so dynamic pricing could actually cost the chain money as at the busiest times people simply go elsewhere.. and once you've lost the 'habit' of going to a place it's much harder for them to persuade you to go back.

'confusion'. Yeah, right. Not a single person was confused. You went for the cash grab and it blew up in your face.

Now you're going to go for slightly less cash grab and because it's 'better' and 'we listened' everyone is supposed to just accept it. Been here before..

Do we know yet if unity's plan won't work?

Games take 3-5 years to make.. you can't change engine mid-development so it'll literally be years before they see any negative impact - during which time they'll be making bank.

From their point of view that's a success.. shareholders care little about long term sustainability.

That's literally the law in many countries - commercial drivers (who are the kinds of people who would be driving those kinds of distances) have to take a 45 minute break every 4.5 hours. Because it's unsafe to not do so.

And they can tell.. how exactly?

I suspect that's just a sales pitch... 'buy it now whilst you can!' stuff.

So.. if your game becomes the most pirated game in history, you're on the hook for millions off zero income.

Way to go Unity..
