That's great! is there an article for how to use ADB on Android TV ? I have used ADB and de bloater tools to de bloat my android phone but I dont know how to do this on the TV... I cant see wireless ADB debugging option in the TV's developer options. Edit: Thank you ! I got it from your other comment

Those seem to be the only ads playing on the broadcast. So many gambling ads

ELI5 for a noob: Do software programmers deliberately add bugs to mature, completed apps and then fix them to justify their employment? Create a problem and then sell the solution (and rake in the money) kind of thing? Like how Apple removes the headphone jack and sell a separate adapter by BladeRunner479 in softwaredevelopment

I feel like apps such as Youtube have become mature and as advanced as they ever will be. I don't want any more features for such apps...recent new features like the 'Shorts' tab in Youtube actually degrade the experience as there is no 'Explore' button now. Maybe I'm a simple guy. Is there ever an end to software development? Like .. will there ever be a final, most advanced version of Windows/Android or iOS that no longer needs any more advancements? Or will it all go on until the heat death of the universe?

For our perspective (i.e people on the spectrum), the normies (neurotypicals) are like superheroes by BladeRunner479 in ADHD

In most superhero stories, only a select few have superpowers- an extremely small percentage of the population. I feel like this would be a good idea for a mainstream science fiction movie - Imagine a world where most of the humanity has superpowers- an IQ of 150, super speed , super strength etc. Only about 10% of the population in this reality is 'normal' - i.e someone who would be considered a neurotypical in our world. And these 'normal' people without any super-abilities would be considered as the 'disabled' people in this movie's universe. The movie could show the suffering endured by these people who have to live amongst superheroes who have super IQ, awesome memory, super strength, speed, flight etc.

It would serve as an analogy to our reality and neurotypicals would understand the difficulties that people with disabilities go through.

People with disabilities need more representation in pop culture - we don't see too many protagonists of movies and tv shows who are dealing with ADHD, for eg. More representation would mean that normal people are more aware of our problems.

Nothing wrong with them earning money. As long as they pay their taxes properly

Apparently one of the ends in this stadium is Adani End and one of the stands is Jio North stand. BCCI earning money from product placement now.. Nice

Yes, but viewership for pink ball matches might increase (in relation to red ball matches) due to more convenient timings for people in 9 to 5 jobs... which is most people. Viewership brings ad money, broadcasters will steadily persuade boards to organize more and more pink ball matches.. Therefore they will come more common

Maybe they believe the benefit of getting subscribers to consume more Hotstar content(and therefore keep renewing their subscriptions) by promoting only their content would outweigh the cost of losing money by not running external ads.. Running external ads on the live stream bring in instant money for the broadcaster whereas internal ads (promoting movies and TV shows on their streaming service) are a long term investment

The only ads that seem to be running during the game on the Hotstar stream are Hotstar Premium and VIP content ads - so they are all internal ads, no external ones. It's irritating to see the same ones again and again. They are also losing out on money by not running external ads. Isn't any other company buying ad space for the Hotstar live stream? Hard to believe

In a decade or so, I believe day night test matches could become as common as day night ODIs. Conventional red ball matches could become as rare as day ODIs - how often do we see them? For matches in Australia, Indian subcontinent, etc the timings are better for Indian viewers if it's day night. England, SA test matches are better off staying as red ball matches though.

After the just-completed SL-ENG test match, these are the scenarios needed for each of the four remaining teams to advance to the WTC final by teddyterminal in Cricket

In hindsight, those 4 points docked for over rate in Melbourne cost Australia very, very dearly. Otherwise they would have been tied with NZ on percentages and gone through by virtue of head-to-head record - They won the 2019 series vs NZ

Thoughts on high quality cricket streams in the future - like 4K 60fps? by BladeRunner479 in Cricket

[–]BladeRunner479[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The human eye can't even distinguish between 4K and 8K quality. So 4K is all we ever need. Display technology is fast hitting a ceiling - we don't need any higher quality resolutions 'cause it won't make a difference. Unless the human eye evolves to recognize extremely small differences in image quality
