@theronster I know this is going to sound weird but I’ve found that not everyone is like you and me. They’ll put up with sub quality trash without doing anything about it.

@theronster no it means they don’t know or care how to do it. They’re not worried about 720p or ads.

@theronster well, my children are “adults” as far as YT is concerned. The YT kids stuff is too restrictive in general. It was easier to create them accounts with older birthdates.

@theronster pirating works for me, but not for the rest of the family.

@theronster I’ve also got YouTube premium, but all my research to date has shown that it’s fruitless. Everything suggests that the ads and content is cohosted.

I went family plan for YT Premium, just tk make sure the kids don’t see the ads on their own accounts.

@theronster you might have noticed it too, but the NowTV app for AppleTV is so shit that sometimes it stops responding to the pause button on the AppleTV remote.

@theronster likewise have All4 ads blocked, but not ITVX. I did have the ITVX ads blocked at one point but they changed something (probably what you said).

Blocking ads on All4 was “the most useful thing you’ve ever done with your life” according to my wife.

@theronster I might be imagining it, but I think my PiHole is blocking the ads. The PiHole can’t increase the Ps beyond 720 though.

@shezza_t I need to get back there. My dad is going in March and I’m annoyed that he didn’t ask me to go with him!

@shezza_t @BeebsyMcA in our house it’s only ever known as The Basin. Could actually be a bowl, a basin, or a bucket, but it’s called The Basin. Because of history.

@theronster @stuartgibson dammit. You can all just off.

@ianRobinson @stuartgibson when I think about it, a discount for paying up front penalises those who can’t pony up as much in a single month. It seems less significant for these kind of prices, but different people have different thresholds.

@ianRobinson @stuartgibson no real problem, but it sucked for the Twitterrific and Tweetbot devs when people were asking for refunds after the APIs were shut down to the apps.

@stuartgibson no didn’t.

@stuartgibson have none of learned a thing about yearly subs!

@oisin I have a 2009 Mac Pro that I updated by firmware to appear as a 2010. This allowed me to get it all the way to High Sierra. Stuck in a GPU capable of doing 4K and dual hexcore CPU. Still think my 2020 M1 MBA is better though!

To be fair, it’s a 14yo machine at this stage. It’s done well.

I feel more aggrieved about my 2013 Mac Pro not being supported anymore. It’s the same spec as the trash cans sold in 2019 but none of them get updates anymore!

@schwa @TechConnectify we just call it “the grill”. Though mains gas was less common in Ireland, so it was often electric heating elements. Caused a lot of spectacular fires if you didn’t clean out the grill pan regularly and cooked a lot of bacon.

@fishidwardrobe It came up as a comparison you made, where you said Christians wouldn’t be alarmed by the use of the term daemon. Whether you intended or not, this implied that “if Christians can not be alarmed by daemon then what’s wrong with master/slave?” I just sidestepped it by taking the approach that if a term may offend a group, even if I don’t understand it personally, then we can move beyond it.

That’s all I have to say on this.
