Check your settings. I experienced the same until I altered Apple TV settings that fixed Disney+. If I recall, the setting was Match content or Match dynamic range (not near tv right now to confirm exact name)

Its amazing what Chuck Peddle accomplished
If they like reading comics, then get a stack of comics.
I allowed them to stay up later (if they want) but the condition is that time only can be used for reading. They really enjoyed that and it helped.
In time they traded the comics to fiction novels and their reading ability kept improving. They now get books from the library on their own and read quite a lot for their age. No parental pressure needed, they are addicted.
I used to imagine running some kind of second hand book business (non profit) when I retire. Sad that these days it may not be feasible.
The issue was Sony released the PS2 a year later and convinced almost everyone it was far superior with the emotion engine.
Most people I knew at the time were convinced PS2 was next coming of Jesus and worth waitng for. Few people had multiple consoles, so Sega really got crushed by the competitive market and accumulated losses from their past mistakes.
Jeff Geerling gave his devops books away (free) on multiple occasions. I chose to pay for them as he kept working on and improving them well after release.
If more writers took this approach, the quality would increase.
A tariff helps balance the playing field for US manufacturing and does not try to solve the hacked car scenario
US needs manufacturing and tariffs unfortunately are in part necessary
If this is true, then I'd prefer dividends. I can put the capital in another company if I choose.
Buybacks seem like another lever to help management class cash out as a company starts to slump.
Being active in the sun for long period in New Zealand or Australia for example would put you at higher risk for melanoma due to higher UV exposure
My understanding is when children are born they may get put under a uv light for this. Your grandparents knowledge may be prior to modern treatment
Saturn and following on, the Dreamcast were quite good and deserved more success.
By now they could have had it on large market of cheap phones with an app store to give some revenue. The phones with USB C could be a basic PC, like they envisioned in design concepts back in 2010.
Add slick, basic desktop to growing market of raspberry pi like devices... they'd have integrated their browser everywhere.
The chance to offer a phone that is also a PC is something no companies want to offer. They can't risk cannibalizing their existing products.
Mozilla should have done it.
Anyone curious and don't know my reference, search for 'mozilla seabird concept pico projector'
I'd pay per title if the prices were reasonable. It does seem like a missed opportunity. I know plenty of people in their 40s who'd more likely slap money on retro titles than they would on any new game.
Internet forums never were quite the same to me.
Would be great if they made a console that let you play most games from master system, genesis, saturn to dreamcast.
The plugins don't always upgrade easily or work well together in the future.
Wordpress is ok for some situations, I'm not against using it. I've seen enough times where it's been used and another solution Django or Drupal may have been a smarter long term option.
When I heard of the BBC micro:bit, I was hoping for a raspberry pi like device with the software of the original BBC Micro.
Anyone know if that's available?
Android on the other hand has a lot of devices with no patches at all. Pot luck and pray that Google saves the negligent manufacturers via play store patching.
If someone has to choose between the two (using an outdated phone), it's sensible to stick with Apple.
I myself use android and still recognize what Apple does right.
I can assure you, I am empathetic as are the rest of the family. The person in my life (my father) is not forced to do anything and they continue to do as they please. They don't want help, so we do not pressure them needlessly.
I believe people have their habits and we must accept them to an extent. Unfortunately sometimes ones way of living can negatively affect others close to them. My mother is the one who had to live with this. She is the one most deserving of sympathy.
I did write my original comment in a distant and judgmental tone. It was to write what I had observed through experience about the behaviors related to hoarding.
It may sound negative but, my father is my father. I don't dislike him.
They don't seem to be completely aware to the problem of decay (water damage, perishable item mixed with valuable item etc).
Perhaps their brain remembers the 'original state' of the item and glosses over the decay happening in front of their eyes.
