can anyone ELI5 why music streaming never fragmented like TV streaming did?

An album being exclusive to a particular platform seem to be incredible rare. TV platform continuously remove things from the catalog to reduce costs but that does not seem to happen often in music.

I don’t think so. Most people I know keep their phones from 3 to 5 years, sometimes more.

they are also confusing the software with the firefox brand.

I guess is people were using the oracle VM without license and were caught. Oracle makes it very easy to not notice that the Java distribution you download requires payment.

they are tons of cheaper and free java vendors. There is little reason to choose Oracle’s

what exactly do you mean by “locking down” in this context?

I’ve been enjoying the game a lot. My kids did complain that the battle mode is so barebones. 8 had a lot of battle modes. Going back to just balloons and coins is not great.

But I haven’t seen reviews complaining about this so I guess nobody really cares

and it requires line of sight which means it is hard to scale, will have issues with adverse climate and probably will need frequent realigments

they still could play nice and show some good will. they have been behaving awful recently

they are mixing gigabits with gigabytes so that is confusing. but even then, the math is still wrong for the usb 2 speeds.

I think that if that was feasible a successful project would exist already to develop it. it is not like people does not want it to exist. sure, there are tons of projects making variations of existing browsers but none of them do much besides minor tweaks.

From the top of my head Servo is the closest one and it has a big head start since mozilla developed originally. and that is just an engine, not a full browser.

I think you underestimate the costs of development.

while they have made a lot of dumb decisions, they are also in an almost impossible situation. every time they try to diversify their income they get hammered hard by the community.

i mostly have no issues. I even block all traffic on port 53 on my router with the exception of a school provided laptop that has DNS enforced through MDM.

all other devices listen on my DNS as far as I can tell.

three things that seem to be untouchable In Spain:

• The monarchy
• Football
• Bullfighting.

I’m so tired of the EPP. Also I wish these outlets where better at reporting anything related to the EU. do know there are parties like there are parties in the US? all this shit comes from the EPP.

There should be laws against poorly maintained office ACs.

there are regulation about this. in decent offices they regularly check things like air flow, speed, quality of the air, temperature , etc

enforcing them is a different story

the article is not a news story, it is a personal analysis. of course it will show the author’s opinion

since the last time I checked (could be they’ve made progress since then):

• subtitle auto sync
• smart collections
• way better support for downloads, particularly transcoded ones
• skip intro and credits
• better UI (this one is subjective but I did find annoying little bugs often)
• I’ve found that it takes way longer to update & scan larger libraries
• overall disparity between clients on different platforms (in my case, webos, firetv and iOS).

in short it’s a lot of tiny little things that make my overall experience just annoying.

because it’s actually usable?
