We have AppleTVs on every TV in the house and none of the TVs have ever been connected to the home network. Same with the rest of the extended family.
We also have a HDHomeRun in each house for those rare occasions when we want to watch Broadcast TV.
The only time a TV changes from HDMI1 is when someone wants to play PS or XBox.
The corporate revolt against MLL has started. The lawyers are starting to realise that outsourcing to an unaccountable third party is too much of a liability. The business leaders are also starting to realise that it isn’t good for their business models.
I was ecstatic to find that the Adobe AI feature is missing from Acrobat Reader when I started my work computer the other day. Our IT department is also progressively excising Microsofts Copilot and Bing Chat features from our work computers too.
More companies need to do this.
Sorry, was my tasteless joke similar to those deleted comments? I will happily delete it if you don’t approve.
Saved you a click; It was Woodgrove in Melton, It wasn’t Highpoint (if it was Highpoint, it wouldn’t be News).
Maybe ThE aLgOrThMs insistence to put scantily clad women in everyone’s Shorts is just a really bad attempt at a bad Dad Joke.
Curated music services like Spotify and Apple Music can give some great recommendations.
ThE aLgOrYtHm of YouTube gives terrible recommendations. It is as if it has no musical taste whatsoever.
They are all doing these offensive bundles of crap. It is worse than the days of Cable.
We are subscribed to Apple One Family Premier. I need the large data for my family to backup their devices, but none of us want Fitness+ or News+. It is cheaper to get this extra crap we don’t want, than to just get Data.
I just need a way to disable Fitness+ without disabling the Workout features. This is the same as disabling Shorts, Music and Games in YouTube.
I have been ”Don’t Recommend”-ing the generated “SuperPanavision” videos since they started earlier this year; blocking channels, “show less like this” everything. The problem is that this stuff is being pumped out constantly on so many channels that it is impossible to block them all.
I usually get bombarded with Right-Wing content after I watch Juice Media videos. Also, if a watch a feminist video, it is usually followed by recommendations of “AnTi-WoKe” mansplaining videos. it is if they want to show “Both Sides” after I watch something about maintaining democracy and contributing to society in a positive way.
The YouTube Games are just another banner of unwanted “content” like Shorts.
The T&A shorts are usually of young women in jeggings and crop-tops doing risqué actions; if your mouse passes over the Shorts for a millisecond , YouTube autoplays them and registers as a view, creating a negative feedback loop of more and more scantily clad young women doing mundane things in a risqué way.
Jailbait is probably the wrong word, but every single short has a scantily clad young lady. It isn’t the Algorithm because all I watch are Machining Videos, DIY and Restoration Videos and the occasional Science and Natural History video.
The most risqué channel subscribe to is VanWives.
Speaking of which, the Algorithm never serves anything that I subscribe to. I would better off going straight to my Subscriptions page.
I will maintain my observation that the Algorithm is shit.
This is ridiculous.
I am seriously thinking of getting an Apple Vision Pro just so I can use Juno and bypass all the bullshit.
Time I planned an exit strategy.
Mueller River Campground has 5 vehicle-accessible sites, 3 pedestrian-access sites. Each site has access to the inlet beach for canoeing, fishing and swimming.
The nearby Thurra River Campground is not currently accessible due to fires and floods taking out the bridge.
Did everyone else get the “Energy Bill Relief” email?
I have a feeling that this is just more “corporate welfare”.
I expect everyone’s Energy providers to inflate prices over the next 4 months by about $75 a month.
I recently changed provider because the government energy website said my bill would be half of what it was; guess what; it was exactly the fucking same!
The sooner the Government de-privatise the Energy sector, the better. We will also see an end to the Fracking Industry’s astroturfing against renewables.
