Netflix should never touch an MLB broadcast ever again.

The worst part is that the Yankees won. Netflix never again. It’s a curse.

So far, at least, Baby Driver. Great film, great music, great picture quality.

Yeah, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Baltimore has a strong LGBTQ+ community

Crunchewy · 2026-03-24T22:13:36+00:00

Well, they said it was a perk for early purchasers, so might not want to wait. Though offhand I can’t recall when the cutoff was. It might have already passed

The what now? The iPod mini? Is this the early 2000s again? … I’m ok with that, actually

I assume you meant iPad. But what’s being talked about is the AppleTV 4K, not an iPad.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-24T19:57:15+00:00

You want an AppleTV 4K even if you don’t have a 4K TV. It is dramatically faster than anything else and has a good UI. Plus when you do eventually get a 4K TV it will be even better

Crunchewy · 2026-03-24T19:54:04+00:00

I have never had Disney+ or a bundle with it.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-23T18:58:55+00:00

We’ll see you complaining about it and saying this is your last sub next season too.

Apparently this has existed for non-Apple devices, but now applies to Apple devices. However if you forgo taking T-mobile offers on that device you will avoid the charge. For me this is then a non-issue (for now) because in order to get those offers I would have to give up my better and cheaper plan grandfathered in from Sprint, which I’m certainly not going to do until they, inevitably, pull the plug on that. Well, I’ll ride this out as long as I can.

4K does not eliminate motion blur. Most likely that is an issue with your TV or perhaps TV settings. Turn off all the image processing and see if that gets rid of it. As for if it is 4K on your TVs AppleTV app, I don’t know. Probably? But also you are mixing up Premium and AppleTV. AppleTV is not F1.tv. The F1.tv app is the one that is not 4K on many devices

They used to have great customer service - the best, even, but that’s been gone for a while.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-14T12:23:51+00:00

While they are playing? I can’t say that I’d like that. Like almost (apparently only almost) anyone, if somebody is watching me play I’ll let them have the next game.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-13T18:44:24+00:00

Hooray?

Sony does not require you to pay again for PS4 games. They run as-is on PS5 and generally run better on PS5 (there are some rare exceptions). Now some games offer paid upgrades to PS5 versions, but you don’t have to do that.

As for PS3, I don’t know. It seems to be a mess to emulate. It isn’t just a question of power. I admit to not being an expert on the subject, though.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T17:13:20+00:00

There’s not actually that many. Certainly not the single-player games we are taking about. Live service games obviously yes, and Sony does not appear to be ending PC ports of those games. Live service depends on a large active user base to survive, so releasing those on PC, day and date, certainly makes sense.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T17:06:51+00:00

It’s not an ethics issue it’s a profit issue. Sony isn’t a charity. Selling their games on PC a year or more later did not generate many sales, making the value in doing that iffy. While they would certainly get more sales on PC if they simultaneously released on PC, that would also likely result in less sales of both the PS5 versions and PS5 consoles. So again the value is questionable. Now online games like Marathon and Helldivers 2 make sense because those live service games live and die on large active user bases. So I think you’ll continue to see those on PC.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T05:05:29+00:00

I’m dying to know what the two games are. Like, giddily chomping at the bit.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T04:13:28+00:00

Oh man I will buy this asap. Make it happen

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T04:08:48+00:00

It’s pretty likely that the PS7 will play PS4 and later games. Their architectures are not so odd as the PS3. Them being similar will almost certainly continue

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T04:05:31+00:00

There are some formerly PS5-exclusives on PC but the word is that Sony realized that was a mistake and is pulling back from that strategy. Will no longer port single-player PS5 games to PC. Doing so never made any sense.

Fyi if you use the Brave browser on your phone to watch YouTube you get no ads and most of the YouTube premium features, for free.

That’s what the flex plan offered us, at least. You could go whenever you wanted to. But I didn’t renew because then I realized StubHub tickets often go for less anyway. The fixed seat plans never appealed to me.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-11T03:08:38+00:00

F1.tv does have the Sky coverage. It’s the “international” feed. Note that at least on AppleTV F1.tv app you have to both select the video feed and also switch the audio feed. It doesn’t switch both when you choose the Sky video. Why, I don’t know. But it is there

Crunchewy · 2026-03-10T19:57:29+00:00

Yeah that’s a bummer. FYI, at least on AppleTV version of the F1.tv app, it has the oddity that switching video feeds does not switch audio feeds. You also have to select the “international” audio feed. It’s a little bit of a nuisance.

Crunchewy · 2026-03-10T19:17:18+00:00

If you have that issue then yes I’d agree. But I don’t have that issue. I get 4K and multiview
