You say turned around, I say ruined. He’s just remaking it into another IBM by selling services and killing anything innovative or creative.

It’s Microsoft’s current CEO. All he is interested in is subscription revenue. Xbox hardware is next to go.

Breaking up Microsoft would be the best thing they could do right now. But it won’t happen.

E/os is just android.

I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.

It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.

Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?

Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.

Holding security updates hostage is a sicko business strategy. I hope the EU sues them for it.

Anything but brutalism.

• The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money.

• Many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping.

• Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.

• And don’t lie to me about “Watch this long ad break and we won’t show you more ads during this program.”

I think Prime has the right idea of front loading the ads at the beginning of the program instead of interrupting thinks every few minutes.

I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $5 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.

Look for a stereo plug aux-in port on the car’s stereo. You can get a Bluetooth receiver that will plug into that if there’s no usb input built into the car. This will let you listen to music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc from your phone using your car speakers.

This also works with turn by turn navigation prompts that come from the phone.

Just remember to keep your phone plugged into a charger on your trip so that using it this way doesn’t drain the battery.

A chair frame covered in glued on glass rhinestones doesn’t really sound priceless. It looks like something you’d buy at TJ Maxx.

There was nothing wrong with WebOS. HP just didn’t have the cojones to stand behind it.

Your problem isn’t tourists. Tourists bring money into your businesses and create jobs for your economy. The problem is shit like AirBnB, no empty housing tax, and no incentives to build new housing. Point those water pistols at your policymakers and get your housing laws changed.

Just means I will find something else to watch. I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO.

Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.

Found this article. It looks like this is the easier way to set up an Apple watch for somebody else in your family that you can monitor. There’s probably something similar for android watches.

If you have an iPhone, you can get an Apple Watch and set it up using the other person’s phone. The health app will tell you what the person’s heart rate is. It will also do sleep tracking and check blood oxygen levels. It will also notify you if the person falls. It can also be used to contact 911 if it is in range of your phone, or if you buy the cellular version and add it to your cell phone plan.

If you live near an Apple store, stop in and ask about it. The trick will be to set up/link your spouses watch with your iPhone so you can continuously monitor the other person.

Maybe he can write some more Google products that he can then turn around and cancel.

Interesting chart. Note that this is eyeballs, not profits or subscriber numbers. YouTube is free. Most all of the other services are paid, even when subscribing with ads.

Also there’s no WBD channel, so this is lumping all channels by conglomerate ownership. It would be interesting to see this by channel. Hulu viewership is being lumped in with Disney, I assume. Tubi and Pluto bolstering Fox? and Paramount numbers.

“Mom” isn’t doing this unless she’s uber rich. Someone is bankrolling her to try to set precedent.

Someone please explain this to microwave oven manufacturers.
