“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.” ― Hemingway

“Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify.” ― Thoreau

“I came to philosophy finally phrased as "0.8 is enough". … If I had a way to rate happiness, I think it's a good design to have an organism that's happy about 80% of the time. If it was 100% of the time, it would be like everybody's on drugs and everything collapses and nothing works because everybody is just too happy. … There are times when I am down and I know that I've actually been programmed to be depressed a certain amount of time.” ― Knuth

“Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.” ― Don Miguel Ruiz

    Androids also have the option where you tell them not to lock if you're in your home (or other named places). Does iPhone support that?

    I can't reproduce that. I wonder if it's on some specific channels.

    It's missing ABC and CBS. And the DVR is more limited. But, yes, it's very inexpensive in comparison to YouTubeTV.

    Yes, that's correct. Also, separately, Google is sunsetting the "Google Play Movies & TV app" and folding that into the YouTube (not YouTubeTV) app.

    I have not had that problem. But, you do have to specifically wait for the actual air time to come and go before you're able to play it with fast-forward capability. Once that's do…

    I feel the same way, but is there any safe haven? I assume Chromecasts or Amazon Fire would be subject to the same situation.

    It does, because it's essentially the same thing as old school cable TV. You're getting access to ABC, CBS, PBS, NBC, Fox, FX, CNN, TNT, EPSN, BBC America, Food Network, HGTV, and …

    Probably a better analogy is that the back door to the evidence room that leads outside has been unlocked for an extended period of time.

    The seven years worth of "omg, thanks!" comments is pretty cool. Too bad the "small internet" is dying. Had it been a facebook comment or old tweet, it likely would have melted int…
