  1. It has been pointed out that people who pay for things like BluRay and DVD's have a worse experience than people who just pirate movies, since they don't have to sit through ads, and warnings, and don't worry about scratched disks and such.

  2. There's nothing on Disney that's worth paying for.

  3.  @randomvideosn0where  You can tell the EV drivers on the highway too (you probably take I95); they're in the slow lane going 62 mph. They talk about 300 mile range, but if you have the air or heater on you lose 10% of that range. And if you go 70-80 mph, you lose another 20%. So when those EV guys talk about how fast their car is, ask them what the range is at 80 mph, and suddenly they get all moral and complain that "80 is illegal!". So why brag about how fast they can go?

  4. I don't do premium because it' s $14 a month. Make it 2 or 3 bucks a month and I'd pay.

  5.  @jht3fougifh393  Both formats support forced watch (non-skip). Disney is the king of doing that.

  6.  @mr.darknight416  Correct. Lithium batteries have decent energy density, but there is no way to charge them quickly without destroying them over time. In fact, most of those "can be charged 1,000 times" almost certainly does not include fast charging. The tradeoff is charge time versus range. And if you work through the math, the charge time is the limiting factor for electrics, not the total range on a single charge.

  7.  @fmccloud  You're not working for Sony, but it's unclear why you're white-knighting for Sony. There's nothing wrong with Sony doing that, but they shouldn't call it a purchase or buy. Just be honest and call it a "limited license to use, subject to change"

  8.  @Son37Lumiere  "These claims are based on the overly simplified idea that everyone will be charging at the same time" You mean like at 5 PM when everybody comes home from work. Right. That's an oversimplified idea. Who could miss your point?

  9.  @Zam432F  If you've got an iCloud account your phone will tell you if it's backed up or it will tell you that you lack the cloud space to back it up. Assuming you're moving to a new iphone, Apple makes it very easy to move. If you log into your new phone with the same account, all your data is available on a new phone (or as I recall, you can move to the new phone by taking a picture of a pattern on the screen of the old phone). If you're doing more than moving to a later iPhone (such as moving to an Android phone) it will be more complex, and more than I can possibly type into a YouTube comment.

  10. @A M Since most electricity is still generated by coal and natural gas, it is a moot point. And a smart government would not turn off pipelines and shutdown local drilling AND THEN turn around and ask OPEC to send us more oil. Alas, we have the opposite of a smart government in 2022

  11. Linus is now "entitled" to me watching ads. He sure has changed since he became rich.

  12.  @user-df4kf6fg7h  The problem with what you're saying is you cannot reach the people who can make the decisions and could fix it. The call center people are the ones they put in front of you to avoid making a decision or even talking to you (this is a NY City job after all). So the best you can do is make that person miserable until they take it upon themselves to fix it, or they complain to their boss or they leave. If you have a better suggestion, let's hear it.

  13. I've stopped doing it except when a waiter/waitress actually give me good, thoughtful service.

  14. Right now electric cars are interesting, but too expensive and do not have the range or utility of a standard IC car. Take a Honda Accord. With regular maintenance, it will last easily 20 years and over 200,000 miles. It will have a range of between 400-500 miles, and refueling will take 5 minutes with thousands of filling stations virtually anywhere. Initial outlay will be around $30K, after 20 years, you'll still get $5K in residual value. No taxpayer incentives either. As soon as a $30K EV matches those specs and longevity, people will buy. Until then, it's an urban runaround for the upper middle class.

  15. Big companies are doing this with employment too. Instead of being able to sue them, you have to go arbitration by a board of their choice. And if you don't sign the paperwork, you're fired.

  16. OMG, that's the funniest fake white-knighting I've ever seen for a multi-billion dollar company. I think the idea that this affect consumer safety, is the funniest part, as if you could imagine that 3rd party ink would squirt into your eye or burst into flame. @AllYourPie that is funny. Do you write for the Babylon Bee?

  18.  @linmal2242  You say silly stuff like "macho", but you have no idea what North America is like. You see TV shows from the US and now you know pickup trucks don't make sense.

  19.  @mjc0961  Which is why owning media is a bad idea. Get hi-def versions put them on a media server, and you have something that is far more useful than what the studios want to sell you. (the reason you need to deal with DVD's is a lot of TV series were created in 480p, and they can't uplevel because the specials don't scale up particularly well)

  20.  @ItsDeffoScott  Then they shouldn't call it "purchased". It should be called "A long-term rental of convenience".

  21.  @fmccloud  Weren’t forced to buy the product Apparently you didn't buy it, you got a "limited license to use".

  22. As you say, the big thing with phones in particular is people are looking at a new iPhone @ $1300. Same price as a desktop computer, and they expect to get 4-6 years out of it; especially since Apple has been reduced to "slightly faster, better camera". There's nothing there to make that interesting unless they drop the price at least in half.

  24.  @DeeAy09  It's not just the miles, it's the years and charges. Will that battery pack be good for 20 years and 1,000 charges over those 20 years?

  28.  @MartinDecima  There is no "terms of service" for watching a broadcast. They are protected by copyright. A small but important point. Cable TV is not "Broadcast" by definition. Cable TV is a contract between you and the cable provider who agrees to provide some level of video service in exchange for money. You do agree to certain things in the T&C's, but again, the protection for the content providers is provided by copyright, not by T&C's, because the cable company is not negotiating on their behalf.

  31.  @tboneforreal  It's their site, they can do what they want. I just don't visit those sites. I will say though, since the advertiser is using my bandwidth to send me useless and potentially risky advertisements, am I not entitled to half the revenue from the ad?

  32. The fact that you can't take any electric car to your local shop to get it fixed is 90% of the issue here. Worse, you need to go back to the OEM to get parts for all electric cars. Which sets you up to get ripped off on labor and parts. Why anyone would consider buying these cars with these shortcomings is very mysterious. Perhaps people have gotten so used to their normal cars being fixable in an economical way by their favorite mechanic, they haven't considered what happens once manufacturers control the end-to-end lifecycle of their car.

  33. Hollywood continues to show us that downloading movies off the beaten path is the only way for consumers to actually own what they implied we gave them money for.

  35. Philadelphia does the same thing. They charge 4.5% for workers assigned to an office in the city, even if they're working from their own home ouside of the city or state.

  37. I never tip when I have to go up to the counter, order my food, wait for my food and then carry it out or take it to my seat, and I despise restaurants who expect me to do so.

  43. Linus built an empire on advertisement, he's now in the phase of his career where he doesn't even materially join in creating content, so of course he would be against adblock. It's his paycheck.

  44. Reminds me of Tivo who a few years ago on their newer models would allow you to skip the TV channels (as they always let you do), but they then injected their own commercials. The older ones can't be set up this way (for technical reason), so they desperately want you to buy new models which are actually worse because of this "feature".

  45. Well, when you have a $1B disaster like the "Rings of Power", and you pay $1B for NFL football per season , this is the result of poor business decisions. So Amazon's reaction to their own mistakes is to charge their long-time customers more to make up for their inability to understand their own market.

  47. Got news for Eric.... Companies won't do it because (a) the workers don't want to (b) If they force them, and people start getting mugged or worse, the workers will sue their companies. Until he can lock up violent criminals and get rid of the no-bail laws, you'd be crazy to come back to work if you didn't have to.

  48. you can still argue that piracy is stealing Not if you've paid for it. It's closer to "safeguarding your purchases".

  49.  @bonko86  Well, Sony could have refunded a portion of what people purchased from them, or provided a credit, or done something. So much for customer service.

  50. that's exactly right attitude. You buy something because it works best for you. Electric cars right now have a long tail of pollution in terms of mining rare earth minerals and battery disposal that one suspects are far worse than gasoline and diesel engines.
