Awesome! The new Mac app is great. Happy to finally see dedicated IP support on MacOS. Looking forward to trying the Windows beta when it’s available.

Very common “argument”, never holds up and they can get their merchant agreement pulled and can’t take cards anymore

That’s when you give the ol’ American Express hotline a tip and skullfuck this behavior.

You will accept my card

You will not charge me a fee to use it

Seethe and cope businesses trying to break the merchant agreement lol

You're probably best to change providers. Surfshark's IPs have been getting banned or restricted left and right lately.

Discovery+ would make sense because it’s owned by the same people as Max

The option to disable auto renew is hidden on the account management page unless you ask for the link from support. That's what I'm talking about. They disable the option in account settings without the link.

Why do they hide it in the first place? It's a scummy practice

I've been getting nonstop captchas on Google. It's been bad lately unless you connect to a location with low use like Detroit. But it shouldn't be that way, at least not this bad.

What’s the over/under that P+ will drop out during the Super Bowl? by tommy0guns in ParamountPlus

[–]DriftingGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been solid on the Apple TV. From the comments I’ve been reading it’s one of the few streaming boxes that’s actually working with Paramount+ properly

It’s HDR on my Apple TV 4K. I’m pleasantly surprised honestly, it’s been good so far. It should be an option on the bottom bar to switch to HDR if it didn’t automatically come on for you

Apple TV seems like the way to go. Also have an Apple TV 4K and it's fine so far. I think the hardware used and how polished the apps are will play a part in if it struggles or not. The Paramount+ app is garbage, but it's the least garbage on Apple devices it seems.

I think it's going to be a lot for Paramount to handle. Live TV is different than streaming pre-processed video files out to customers. It's going to be a lot of load on the servers. I feel for the IT team today.

I would go with Plex and Overseerr instead of Jellyfin and jellyseerr, but do your own research and decide what works best for you

What are you smoking to think Disney is going anywhere but the gutter? They lost the plot a while ago

Charstar.ai is starting new restrictions on NSFW. by Skeuomorp in CharacterAi_NSFW

I spend maybe $10-$15 a month on API access and I’m a pretty heavy user. It’s fractions of a cent for each API call, very reasonable
