That’s part of my point. They don’t have to lift a finger. Just let Netflix pay for the storage, the data centers, the bandwidth. Studios will get something out of it for doing literally nothing. But they got greedy and broke the model.

Sorry, but I just don’t trust polls anymore. They never really get a representation of the public as a whole and instead end up talking with the only interested parties: bored conservative old people.

Many people have an attitude that if something isn’t perfect you don’t do it, even if it’s so much better than doing nothing. It’s a weird reactionary thing and shows a complete lack of critical thinking.

There’s probably a law that states when and how to bring a complaint and what the maximums are. Many states have such laws to put on limits. Those stories you hear about a jury awaiting hundreds of millions will usually be reduced by many orders of magnitude when the actual sentence/order is set.

See 10 years ago it was ALL in Netflix and everyone was happy. Studios got to get passive income and we only needed one service. Then the business bros got greedy and decided they needed more money and exclusivity while spending millions to stand up their own inferior services.

lol I was just yesterday saying that I fully expect these to fold and all the content to go back to Netflix where the studios can earn passive income with no more expense than paying their lawyers to write contracts.

And recently India too. There’s a hacking for hire scandal going on beyond just this incident. Worse: it was Indians hacking Indian journalists using Israeli spyware.

So far the browsers all seem to be universal apps, and I’d bet they stay that for many years.

My rule of thumb is that an issue isn’t an issue until it affects at least 10% of the fleet. Before then, it’s a fluke and not worth investigating.

I think you had a fluke. Seems like it’s worked for you since then.

Angry NIMBY types and gerrymandering gets you here. This is caused by a lack of empathy.

I lived in Louisiana for several years. It has its own problems but not as bad as the rest of the Gulf Coast. I had to pass through Mississippi and Alabama a few times and it always frightened me. It’s just swamp everywhere and you know that it would be easy to disappear someone.

Gotcha

Perhaps the download was corrupted? Like maybe the checksum didn’t match. Did it happen a second time or after you did a force refresh?
