If I pause a movie it is to read a subtitle or see a background detail. Having an ad at that point is just an unacceptable degradation of the experience.
Having it be generated AI content means it will be worse uncanny garbage and cheapens it even more.
Voting with my wallet.
The iPhone never worked as well or sounded as good as the iPod. No one will convince me otherwise.
I love the iPhone but it kinda stinks as a music player and it isn't a great phone.
Look at teacher salaries. We are getting what we pay for.
Are you suggesting that if we pay the same teachers more they'll do a better job? I.e. they're slacking off and doing a deliberately poor job as a protest against poor pay?
Or are you suggesting that if schools had higher teacher salary budgets they could fire the current losers and hire better people away from other industries?
In either case we'd have to take into account the teacher's union before just cranking up the tax rates and shooting more money at the schools.
I was thinking more the second option.

exactly!! Will go check out jellyfin.
Excellent. I like it. Will go look at jellyfin tonight. Thank you.
Every move Plex has made drifts from the "let me play my library" it started as.
Intel has had a rough year but their graphics efforts have gotten a lot better. They can't afford another debacle.
I bet this will be good. We'll all know when the numbers are posted.
Every release they give us what they think we want. Every release theyâ(TM)re wrong.
They are so capable but lately so misguided.
Daytime Running Lights are too bright now too. It isn't that they don't work well, they work so well folks don't realize they don't have their actual headlights on. Every night I see cars driving around on highways with no tail lights on and the drivers are adamant their lights are on. Argh.
I am thinking it is more the DLRs are too good than that drivers are unaware of the controls. One of these is fixable.
...because if there is one thing ISPs are known for is innovation. Insulting.
It is as simple as that.
And another thing, if the insurance company has this data and the driver is breaking the law, isn't now their responsibility to report it?
That is assuming as all this is, that the owner is driving at the time.
The usefulness of this information is a common misconception. Without data on the surrounding cars, there is no context and the numbers are meaningless. Maybe if the driver is going over 100mph, that is valid but most the data is meaningless. Braking to avoid an animal, pedestrian or road defect isn't the same as random recklessness. Context. Average smartphone gps accuracy on a quick google says 16ft, often well within the distance between a highway and the parallel side road.
This is assuming the owner is doing the data gathering (as in rentals), I'm not even touching the spying aspect of it if it is your car. That is inexcusable. The car makers should make this data gathering more controllable and the insurance companies should be opt-in if some misguided person wants this surveillance.
Stem, are you listening?
Got a Visio "smart" tv. I agree, no desire for the dated UI or the inaccurate weather. I keep the network cable unplugged.
The thing is though that it gets the last word. Often the smart menu will pop up. Remote is in a drawer somewhere but it doesn't matter.
The smart features just appear un-requested. Last smart tv I'll ever buy.
I only got it because the image features weren't offered on a dumb model at the time.
Hey coffin, here is another nail.
After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done.
