Options and competition are good things for consumers. Not sure why you would be against that.

Some might even call that invention a train.

I fail to see the distinction:

story >> book (paper) == own

story >> movie (DVD) != own

That doesn't add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.

What would you classify google or apple portrait mode as? It's definitely doing something. We can probably agree, at this point it's still a reasonably enhanced version of what was really there, but maybe a Snapchat filter that turns you into a dog is obviously too much. The question is where in that spectrum is the AI or algorithm too much?

This is what I was wondering about as I read the article. At what point does the post processing on the device become too much?

We need caldev through the bridge app for use in thunderbird and other apps.

Definitely added some coverage to less computer tech, like the car reviews and pure science coverage, but in terms of treating their readers well, they're still very good. Not that the bar is high, but still.

Yes, it's mentioned in the post.

Painful how true that is. It's awful.

At least some doorbell cameras power themselves off the doorbell power supply, so it's not all devices with battery. Still more than should exist though.

In app ads are removed, but what about the tracking and then showing you ads on other sites and services is that also removed when you pay? I can say that uBlock still killed hundreds of trackers on my paid outlook premium account.

It's already on the way, the office app "outlook" has a "new outlook" mode, which is this same web based version that only talks to Microsoft servers, so even if you use a non Microsoft email account, Microsoft takes your credentials,syncs your email to their server and then shows it to you through the web outlook.

It's pretty bad on PC as well, with more and more games requiring kernel level anticheat software. I wish I had something positive to say. Just lots of bad news coming out in gaming it seems.
