Yes, it's big. Right now I have a Google Pixel, and I find it way too big already: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=14883&idPhone2=...

... who also have their employees "organically" push this stuff all over Reddit.

OP here looks innocent enough at least.


Were that the case, there would have been nobody buying Starlink.

As they are, I think you are wrong.


My neighborhood has both cable and fiber, both >= 1Gbps, fairly cheap

My neighbor has starlink. I assume because they are MAGA.


okay for real, i think you have elon derangement syndrome.

I'm Canadian, I disapprove strongly of Elon and his antics, and there are cable and fibre options in my neighbourhood, but Starlink is cheaper and I need to pinch pennies everywhere I can. And the service is excellent.

Every time I scrolled down I thought, "I bet there'll be a picture now". Alas.

This sounds like an interesting topic, but rather than getting an AI to write it and publish it verbatim, I would recommend a second pass: do _you_ find this interesting to read? You_


It's primarily marketing for some mystic self-help shtick. You ask a question about your life, like in tarot, and a facilitator gradual reveals ambiguous answers until you agree that you had a revelation, like in tarot, and cross their palm with silver. Totally not fortune-telling apparently.


If you're worried about addictive scrolling perhaps your "couch tablet" is worth side-eyeing.

I've yet to find a more suitable use for a tablet. Maybe the whole device class is cooked.

They're not bad for note-taking in STEM courses.

For math classes where the instructor requires you to upload the work I use OneNote on my desktop (copy in the homework problem) and tablet (do the work).

The couch tablet just had old.reddit.com/r/all On my desktop I have thousands of bots on my ignore list as well as hundreds of subs. The tablet gave me the true unfiltered garbage that I hardly see elsewhere.


"Sorry for any inconvenience"

What do you mean, it's ALL inconvenient!


I think you're being deliberately obtuse. You would update software on a TV for all the same reasons you update software on any other device: improved performance, better compatibly, new features, etc

No. My computer is a tool I actively use. The TV is an almost entirely passive consumption device. Was performance not good enough when it was new? If it wasn't, will the new software versions truly buck the trend we've seen in software for the past few decades and improve performance? What new features are necessary? Video playback has been a solved problem for the past few decades.

All of the software on a tv is a client to some service, and the service changes constantly, and so must also the client whether anyone likes it or not, and you already knew all of this perfectly well.

The author of the comment further up this thread seemed to suggest they use their television as a traditional television rather than as a host for several streaming service clients.

I think it’s quite reasonable with this framing to question frequent update cycles.

It’s likely you understand this well and have decided to argue something else for reasons unknown.


With streaming apps unfortunately you can run in compatibility issues if you do not update. So for people using the TV for streaming, it does make sense to at least update that part of the software.

And if a streaming app stops working due to a compatibility issue, I might consider updating if it's a streaming app I use a lot. If I can update the app independent of the OS, great; if not, it might mean an OS update.

This is a surprising headline for anyone who remembers the huge fire they had in '05:

"Curses, Gromit! Fire destroys animation firm's history on eve of box office triumph"

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/oct/11/arts.media


> All the sets and figures from the new Wallace and Gromit film are safe because they are being exhibited elsewhere in Bristol.

That looks to be what's being auctioned.
