I really liked all the main actors playing the Defenders characters, even Iron Fist grew on me and I wanted to see more of him especially with Luke Cage. The shows were often far too bogged down and had poorly directed action scenes but I would love to see more of them with more competent...

Isn't that just AirPlay which is available from multiple vendors already? I know even Sonos owners who use their speakers exclusively via AirPlay instead of their app.

This is a niche product that's inevitably going to cost more than commonly available laptops for similar specs. One would buy this to support its ideals, not because it's necessarily the optimal choice. For most users I don't think the modularity makes sense. They will simply get a new laptop...

I don't think that's true. The median used vehicle costs $25-30k. That's still enough for a cheap new vehicle. However buyers would rather get something better or bigger with the that money by buying used instead. Arguably the biggest factor is on average cars have become more reliable and hence...

Bitcoin discussions are now just funny because seems most people have stopped even pretending it's anything but just digital collectible with some black market usage. It used to be that crypto and blockchain were supposed to change how we conduct the commerce and even the internet and digital...

The propagation of the RTO mandate really shows us how much of a cargo cult the business world is. The tech industry is supposedly all about logic and facts, and the companies are supposed to disrupt the existing marketing with efficiency gained from innovative thinking going away from the old...

Curious how much the total actual amount was falsely reported by each individual since so many people are obsessing over the $25 figure but annually that could theoretically add up to a much larger number. Also what if the same person stole a few laptops, monitors, etc a year instead of meals...

Maybe if that someone was a child. Otherwise it's fully expected you follow the condition of the perks. This is pretty common in most corporate benefits. Multiple $25 meals per day for the whole year is a significant chunk of money even for someone making $400k a year. Someone above calculated...

Surprised how many think it's not a big deal. It doesn't sound different from any other benefit frauds such as insurance and we see people getting fired for that all the time for amounts less than what Meta pays for the food credits which adds up fast if you use $25 every time. I get my work...

As a layperson, I just wondered if a lot of these companies have been better off if they just kept everything up-to-date and implemented strict policies regarding email links, downloads, USB devices, etc, instead of having a full blown EDR. I know that's probably a silly idea and not even...

That was the case. Like I've said my purchases were warehouse items which were clearely marked as returned items at a discount. But realistically it'll take far too much effort to open up a faucet and verify if the hose hasn't been switched or damaged. I'm more surprised someone went all that...

I have gained some symphathy towards Amazon workers and even the company itself after buying a few warehouse items, edit: these are items marked as returned items and sold at a discount. I had a kitchen faucet that looked brand new until I installed it. It was leaking profusely when I turned it...

Speaking of Bezos and hardware launches, this is the 10th anniversary of the Fire Phone, which was a disaster. https://meincmagazine.com/gadgets/2014/07/review-amazons-fire-phone-offers-new-gimmicks-old-platform-growing-pains/ But in general it was just a different era under Bezos as Amazon...

I remember Canon promoting their fuel cell and the SRD display technology 20 years as well. https://eepower.com/news/canon-develops-tiny-fuel-cells-for-digital-cameras/ https://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/peripherals/whatever-happened-to-sed-tv-173620 Neither went anywhere...

You can pretty much grab any TV remote and configure the Apple TV to use that.

This has always been the plan and not doing it would've killed the company regardless. I don't think Roku had a profitable year in its history and their hardware products were sometimes sold below costs. There have been complaints the prices for premium TV boxes TV aren't justifiable...

I don't have much opinion on this but Jon Stewart's show at Apple TV was disappointingly non-entertaining and also illuminating. Stewart on that show felt more like an angry old man shaking his fist, and at times he even sounded misinformed while pushing his agenda, notably where he thought the...

A lot of it is because of the used vehicle market. Vehicles are lasting longer than ever and the average age of vehicles on the roads is now over a dozen years old in the USA. More than ever people buy and drive used cars. But you cannot get a used car from the factory. Someone has to buy a new...

The Apple TV 4K had a fan for 5 years, 2017 - 2022. Apple probably just wanted to reduce the complexity and the cost while making it smaller since the Apple TV didn't really need a fan anymore as the 2021 version already moved to the iPhone chip instead of the beefier iPad chip used earlier...

This thread feels like an old school PC vs Mac flame war thread more than a decade ago and I even recognize a familiar user name, almost makes me nostalgic. While we are on the topic of low end Macs, I think Apple could use the older Apple TV 4K design with a fan. With the M1 chip it would be a...
