it’s feature of retail/capitalism. You just have better tools like Keepa to showcase this scam, now.
Yup, and you can sue Sig Sauer if someone shoots you with one of their guns. You’ll lose due to having no basis for their culpability, but you can try.
SG1 was shot in 4:3 until like season 8 or so.
“Protect your privacy” is literally why we use uBO…
Within reason, yeah. If the video industry came out with a platform that had all you can stream and all the content in one place, but wanted $150/month for it, that would be a pricing problem. My ceiling is more like $40-50/month.
I put a relative’s mobile phone on NextDNS to block ads for them, and the came back a couple days later noting how weird the ad-free experience was. Thankfully they didn’t want to revert, but yeah, most people are way into advertiser Stockholm Syndrome at this point.
I think I’ve been blocking/combating internet ads for 20+ years at this point.
The industry argument for that is “you’re stealing our potential revenue”. I personally subscribe to one streaming service. That’s it. If what I want to watch isn’t on that, I hoist the anchor and set sail.
The predictable way that video streaming services became content islands and actually a worse user experience than cable really shows how the industry would rather provide worse experience and cash grab than attract more customers naturally. By contrast, I can subscribe to one music service, and listen to literally every artist I can possibly want to. As soon as video streaming does that (at a reasonable price), piracy for video will plummet like it did for music.
Site owner and whomever in marketing wrote that. Pure psychopathy, IMO.
As you noted, lack electrical tape is your friend, on these. So annoying, but it works well. I got a headset where the charging base blinks green on and off, basically 24/7. Black tape was the first thing I did, even before using hte headset for the first time.
This has been the case for a long time. Just go on the website and find a drop box or location. They are pretty much all over the place.
