InitialDave posted:Seller's a dick for selling a car after the sale was agreed with you. "Friend" is a dick for doing it. This Seminal Flu posted:On that note, DirecTV Now just got released with a killer deal -- 100 channels for $35/month and a free 4th gen Apple TV with 3 months prepaid... came to $113 for me after taxes. The box itself sells for over $130. Holy crap. Going to float that by the wife (I think it's got the channels she watches - just want to make sure.) U-verse can lick my balls. $67 for U-verse Family, then $10.50 in bullshit fees, + $6.34 for bullshit taxes = $83+ for 200 channels, but we watch like, 6, and a lot of that 200 are duplicates, like Cartoon Network, Cartoon Network HD, Cartoon Network-West, and Cartoon Network-West HD. Also would like to move to TWC/Charter (only other option in the area) for Internet. Paying $60 for 18 Mb with U'Verse, versus $40 into/$65 for "up to 100 Mb" cable 'net. I'm gratified to see that, while still doing the "$this for 12-months, full pirce after that", TWC/Charter will actually *tell* you what that full price is, unlike TWC before Charter bought them. I still need to transfer a few things to my not-ATT email address, and then I'm clear for GTFO. Liquid Communism posted:Autonomous cars will probably be a thing in 50 years or more. Mind you, that RV concept is basically a ton of loving work to replicate passenger rail. Where do you live that passenger rail isn't a sad, laughable alternative to anything else?

Darchangel posted:$83+ for 200 channels Don't forget at least 25% of that is commercials instead of programming. If you're paying upwards of $100 (or more, I know my parents' DirecTV package is nearly $130) per month you shouldn't have to watch ads.

Unless they're also streaming without me needing an ISP to connect to the Internet, they can gently caress right off I wouldn't use Hulu even if it was ad-free for free. From what I recall you get maybe the most recent 5-6 episodes of a show and then a bunch of <45 second clips. When I was still using it (granted its been a long time) their player was absolute poo poo too. Way to drive customers right back to piracy by offering a completely poo poo product.

If I'm paying for a service, and it interrupts anything that I am doing for ads, guess what service I'm no longer paying for E: It's half the reason I stopped paying for Xbox Live, because being connected to the Internet meant that almost my entire dashboard was ads. Clearly, my money isn't going towards the overhead, since so many ads are necessary on this exclusive, paid service, so what am I paying for, exactly?

They have full series up like Seinfeld. Some of the currently airing shows only have the ongoing season. Hulu is great if you're watching currently airing shows. If you want movies or shows from the past, you're better off with Netflix or Amazon prime.

The entirety of every single episode is on YouTube for free, so why would I pay? I have prime, so Shout Factory has already been paid their licensing fee for the Prime episodes, and I have Adblock so pirates don't get a penny off my youtube views, so what possible reason would I pay to watch a single episode of a decades old TV show?

Netflix is moving towards mainly airing their own exclusive content, some of which is okay. Speaking of ads, YouTube dropping unskipable ads into the middle of videos is a loving terrible thing. Without rooting or watching through a browser I don't think there's an easy way around it on android.

Stranger Things was fantastic and I'm really enjoying The Crown. Some of it's pretty poo poo, though. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was unwatchable. And, iirc, that's a per-channel setting, not a YouTube global setting. I know some of the channels I follow (NerdCubed comes to mind) have said that they can choose to have pre-roll or interstitial ads. I can't stand the interstitial ads, but I don't mind pre-roll ones. You're right about not having a good way around it on mobile, Android or iOS, though.

Wee bit of talking past each other there For me, it's about principles, so I won't spend money on things that are available for free, unless it's a reasonable price, creators are properly compensated, and they are offering more convenience than a 45 minute download can. The only reason I pay for YouTube Red (still the worst name) is because I have Google music. I don't like how YouTube handles copyright laws and monetization, so I wouldn't have ever upgraded if it wasn't included in my music service

Tucson Dragway is at 3000 feet, and conditions there right now put the density altitude at nearly 3800 feet... which if I'm googling correctly, is something like an 8% drop in horsepower. Not gonna set any records, that's for sure.
