craiggrannell, (edited ) to Netflix
@craiggrannell@mastodon.social avatar

I mean, if ever I needed more persuading that my #Netflix sub can go away, this is it. (We still have two pre-4K Apple TVs. One is used on my tiny office TV. It works perfectly well with every other service, and so Netflix can go do one.)

Edit: to clarify, HD onwards will work with Netflix. Pre-HD (and pre-tvOS) will not. It’ll be interesting to see how rapidly everyone else does the same. (IIRC, Prime still worked on those old boxes.)

@kkolakowski It’s quite possible. I mean, these things don’t last forever. But who knows?

@kkolakowski @alexjsp Yeah, I have one new Apple TV and one HD, and older units, which I guess are now basically scrap.

@DJDarren No idea, TBH.

@kkolakowski You’d hope so, for sure. But who knows these days? Netflix is weird.

@DJDarren I do recall atV Fire (sp?), the precursor to Infuse was all about those boxes. I guess ultimately these things are now just more fodder for ‘recycling’. Or at best units for AirPlay from a phone.

One of my posts just went semi-viral on Threads and that is slightly terrifying.

@MuseumShuffle That post is spreading like crazy. My mentions are a bin fire.

Hopefully it’ll calm down soon and I get get back to posting and being resolutely ignored by 99.99999% of the Threads audience! :D

@MuseumShuffle I mean, it could be worse. I once mentioned on Twitter that it’d be nice if cyclists wouldn’t recklessly zoom along without giving a shit on the path near our train station, given that I’d just got home after one nearly ran over my dog. I got WEEKS of shit from that.

Given that Meta responded to my AI opt-out request instantly, that’s gotta be automated. Probably, ironically, by some kind of ‘AI’.

@CTD Most people will delete that email without a second thought.

This Reddit thread does not inspire confidence about the future of Bartender. And that sucks, because Bartender is a great app.

@baldur While away, I read your thoughtful piece on social media and reply guys. Almost never happens to me here. Not sure why. But on Threads today now that Apple TV post went vital: OH MY GOD.

RIP my mentions. :/

Went to Spain for a few days. It was very nice. But also, even their cheapest GF bread from a local supermarket was leagues ahead of what we have in the UK. Nice GF muffins and LF yoghurt too. Just need a teleporter now so I can order this stuff to the UK. (Or, you know, move to Spain…)
