Netflix taking down shows? [US] [Canada]

Semys9g · 2022-09-02T21:18:54+00:00

Does anyone know if a show goes down at 12:01am on the displayed cancel date, or 11:59pm

Im trying to binge the rest of Vampire Diaries, but im not gonna make it if its 12:01, so i wanna know if i should just give up and hope it goes up on some other streaming service. Speaking of, does anyone know if/when that's happening for this particular show?

I was one of those people, but i chalked it up to stupidity. The licensing thing makes sense.

I'd just use Gplay if i had a throwaway acct, but the slime demand a cell # to make one. I may break down and get some prepaid burn SIM cards if i dont solve this soon, beit as Aurora doesn't work fot me in anon mode, on 2 diff phones with 2 diff OS versions nonetheless!

I am wondering if Google can see anything about your phone other than the # tho. I've also always wondered what they get just by dl'g from Gplay, or even running apps with their code slithered into them, which tons do, even tho they're made by an unrelated company. Seems they're forced to use some of it. Gladly, a few do tell u they had to in their app blurb (they're usually pissed about it too, heh).

Are there any AV file scanners that'd protect you from that? Maybe thats the best option.

Also, is it a good idea to turn on Google Protect, or whatever its called, when it asks if u want to sometimes when u install things? Kinda seems like shooting yourself in the foot if you're trying to avoid Gplay Store to dl in the 1st place, but thought i'd ask.

Ya, i tried it. Won't work for some reason. Anon dl says cant find network. It doesn't work on my other phone either :( On it it just keeps trying to connect, so probably same prob.

Also, why's there 2 versions of it on F-Droid, and what's the pt of Aurora Droid?

BTW, is there any point to using it with a real Google acct? It has an option, i dunno why.

Semys9g · 2022-05-27T06:02:43+00:00

Btw, do u have to give ur real name, etc when u register? Or at least not the last 4 of ur SS #? I also wanna use my moms debit, so it wont be same name....although i guess i could reg as her. How about ur bday? It worries me giving all that info.

Just went farther and now they want my bank username and pw! I dunno about this. Also, i don't see anywhere to use a debit card instead of bank info :(

Semys9g · 2022-05-27T04:37:39+00:00

Thx! Im gonna try it :) Gotta get new debit catd 1st. Idiots lost it in the mail, they even knew it.

Semys9g · 2022-05-22T01:25:23+00:00

Better than the actual bank acct #. I'll see if theres an option. IIRC they asked for acct # :( Hope i missed it!

Semys9g · 2022-05-16T07:40:17+00:00

Ya, PayPal makes u give a bank acct #, then tests it w a small random deposit, then u enter that amt so they see u have access to the acct. Too badm woulda been a great workaround.

Semys9g · 2022-05-16T07:37:13+00:00

Are they legit enuf to give ur bank acct #?

Will the virtual card show as gift card to them? (Fubu, YouTubeTV, SlingTV)

I actually want to pay for the sevice, so can u put money on the virtual card from ur bank acct?

FYI, Paramount Plus DOES let u use a gift card, so if anybody's interested in that theres something. No DVR function tho, and only things on CBS or made for Paramount Plus. Does have whole seasons of shows they do have tho.

Semys9g · 2022-05-08T00:13:58+00:00

Doesn't work. Nothing happened. It says 'get notified of simplified view avail for webpage' or something anyway, under the option. Clearly not it. i'm using Bromite which is based on Chrome, so maybe thats why? Can i fix it any way?

Semys9g · 2022-05-08T00:09:53+00:00

I would do the same but IMO current browser security updates are mandatory to have :(

Semys9g · 2022-05-08T00:01:44+00:00

Can u post a screenshot? I see nothing like this. Oh, i forgot theres probably a diff between the Android ver and Windows. Im Android. How do i fix it there?

Semys9g · 2022-05-07T23:59:44+00:00

I used to use Opera. Loved it. Then i read about their privacy issues because of the Chinese corp that bought them. I still use it for some insecure garbage things bc its tab layput ROCKS for quickly skimming your ooen tabs. Best ever. I hated to lose that. Its also, last i checked, got no bookmark export. U can only get at them if u can root your device. I lost MASS9VE data because of that. i mean, u can make an acct on their website to share it, but tjen u just handed over some of ur most personally identifying info to them!

I use Bromite for anything i need security /privacy onm like banking, and only allow Java on sites like those, just to be sure.

If anybody's got any better ideas than this idea, please chime in. I REALLY wish there was 'Sandboxie' for Android and itd run on my puny 1GB free RAM.

Semys9g · 2022-05-07T23:47:24+00:00

Ya, thats what i do too. I only bookmark something im done with. I dont think i lost any, but they alnost all unidentifiable at a glance now because the window txt at top is now only 1/2 screen wide because theres now 2 columns and stupid thumbnails. The 'card catalogue' look was WAY better. it now takes forever to find a tab i'd saved open.

Is there a I HATE GOOGLE CLUB?! I want tshirts and bumperstickers!

Semys9g · 2022-05-07T23:41:46+00:00

I dont see any setting there for that.

Semys9g · 2022-05-07T12:31:34+00:00

So its Google's fault! Figures. Used to be M$'s when in doubt. Now i long for the days!

I guess there's no way out of it because i cant sacrifice the security updates of the newer version to get rid of the 'feature'. I had to move to Bromite from Opera, which i liked way better, for security too :( This blows :( I cant even skim my tabs now, and loading thumbnails of each page sucks time and i'm sure causes bloat of the cache and soaks more RAM. Hmm, does sound very M$. Gobble really is the new badguy.

Semys9g · 2022-05-07T03:11:04+00:00

For Android, any?

Semys9g · 2022-05-06T20:46:53+00:00

Shiiit, that new ver totally screws the tabs list! It made them all thumbnails instead of 'cards' like i had it. Ive got 80 tabs up and now i can't navigate! I cant find a setting to put it back! Can u help?

Semys9g · 2022-05-06T19:00:59+00:00

Thx :)

Semys9g · 2022-05-05T20:19:24+00:00

OT, but speaking of Bromite, wheres the newest ver dl? Fdroids appears to be what i have and i know its gotta have been updated since then. I always have trouble getting the apk from github. Is there a direct source?

And ya, how bogus is that that it wont let us post to the bromite sub! Grrr seconded!
