I'm converting from Firesticks once the new Apple TVs come out. I'm sick of the constant upselling and Amazon's been putting much more effort into blocking me from using a custom launcher than basic stability and usability.

I will always root for Trek to succeed. I'm hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn't too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.
I did, when I bought the device. And if the manufacturer does a good job, I'll recommend them to friends and family and likely buy more of their products.
The FOSS community does most of the heavy lifting with security updates anyway. Most of these things are running Linux, so they've already helped themselves to that community's work.
I don't have a problem with a streaming service doing that. Hardware, no. If I bought it, I own it and the manufacturer can fuck right off.
I have nothing against advertising in general, but I won't tolerate OS-level advertising and I don't want ad-subsidized hardware.
He's also been regularly compromised by sketchy backdoors placed by the manufacturer in his firmware and remote code execution exploits.
But to be fair, anybody on the bridge who knows how to work the consoles could kill everyone aboard if they wanted.
I too prefer spending less money for a better experience.
Democratic Gov Tim Walz, who vetoed a bill last year that would have boosted pay for Uber and Lyft drivers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was concerned because so many depend on those services, including disabled people.
I get the sentiment, but relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid. That's how Minneapolis got in this situation.
It's really hard for me to feel sorry for any of the parties involved so the ethics feel weird.
I guess the law firm saved the shareholders from being fleeced and they want their cut. It's obscene, but still a small fraction of what Elon would've walked off with.
I gave it fair chance and watched the first three seasons. There were a few bright spots here and there, but I never connected with the characters or felt like the writing was up to par. I still hope they pull off a good final season, but I'm not planning to watch it any time soon.
Anything involving Romulus’ star means that ‘saving the planet’ is completely impossible.
Eventually, yes, but if it were possible to collapse the exploding star in a way that didn't totally roast the planet it would buy a fair bit of time to continue the evacuation. It'll get very cold and photosynthesis will stop, but with enough power and food, the population could hang on for several years if needed.
Oh, are these legislators planning to pass laws cracking down in wage theft, safety violations and guaranteeing a living wage with basic healthcare and retirement benefits?
No?
Then they can fuck off.
