Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’ve heard mint a few times as a good beginner distro. I’ll probably dual boot my PC on whatever I am gonna recommend him for a bit so I get my bearings and can support him a bit :)

No it doesn’t, but my 75yo dad has been asking/thinking about switching when Windows 10 eol.

Most of my Linux/Unix experience is at the server level.

What distro did you get them on?

The coolest thing about this is it appears you can watch said content through the Prime Video App, which will open Apple TV to all the android mobile users.

I’d say this is good for them. If course I don’t have Amazon Prime anymore so…

Just tested mine on their first flight. I actually think the 1’s fit me better but these are still comfortable.

Doesn’t help on my Nvidia shield

I primarily watch on a Nvidia shield. We have smarttubenext or something on there but I watch so much I want all the history/subs synced through to all devices. So for my TV it’s a pain.

I can hide them 30 days at a time from the browser but I’d live for them to not ever show up or show up under the subscriptions tab

Top on my premium wish list is a way to disable them completely

Glad we bought a bidet after the last wrath of morons did this.

Ya, I went for a walk and had my phone/ear buds in and as soon as I got away from the house it stopped working. Tried toggling airplane mode, and rebooting, no luck. When I got back I had a msg from my wife asking if I’d changed our verizon service.

YouTube is but one, and as I said while the story is about yt I was talking Mir in general. How do you pay for content/services in general?

Right now with via ads or a subscription.

How’s that work on tvs?

So, steal everything or something else? Content isn’t free. The ad model exists, but only works if people see the ads.

If everyone blocks all ads, and doesn’t pay a subscription, how’s that work for those providing the service?

I’m not defending YouTube here, just curious what your solution is to have a service and not pay for it.

I do pay for YT family Premium in the US. I watch mostly YT, and it is my music streaming service. I definitely​ liked it more when it was costing me $15/mo for that and was mad when that went to $23. I even tried switching to Spotify and using ad blocking on YT. I didn’t jive with Spotify, and while ad blockers work for YT, it’s a bit of a pain installing them on TV boxes and managing subscriptions across devices, asking with which videos you’ve seen etc.

“Alpha male” victim

I’ve had a handful of their watches in this line but this is the first time I was waiting for/excited about the new model and jumped at launch.

Like, out of the box no audio apps I use were available because apparently Garmin doesn’t release the SDK unti launch day. Just crazy… Live and learn I guess.

I’m gonna say they need to circle the wagons and get the ALREADY RELEASED Fenix 8 out of Beta.

Pretty lousy launch/unboxing experience from someone that’s been relying on Garmin watches since 2013 (910xt)

Yes, I’m a bit salty right now…

It’s annoying as hell. I can hide shorts on my shield TV YT app from desktop at 30 day increments. It sucks you can’t just turn them off

I’ll continue to not watch shorts, tik toks, reels or any other ADHD inducing short form content.

I don’t care about any game stats for my phone but it is annoying that my P9P XL lags when it’s connected to AA and I want to grab it fast, double click the power button to open the camera and snap a quick picture.

I’ve experienced the same lag with previous Pixels. Assumed it was a RAM issue and maybe it is, but it’s annoying nonetheless.

Ya, I’m not sure that has ever been true as a blanket statement.
