Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

Try github.com/morpheus65535/bazarr

Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you.

morriscox,

No*. You can add providers which will automatically check for and download (all of) the available subtitles and it can automatically check for new and updated ones so that you don’t need to. It can also do synchronization and modifications like fixing uppercase and OCR. It greatly reduces the amount of work that you have to do.

*I just checked the OpenSubtitles.com provider and it has an option for AI translated subtitles in search results.

Possession of stolen items and/or child porn is all that is required, no matter the reason. Crypto mining would probably be considered a you problem, unless your phone is owned by an employer. Each app has its own storage and can access shared storage.

Access to data directories on internal storage

Android 9 (API level 28) started to restrict which apps could make the files in their data directories on internal storage world-accessible to other apps. Apps that target Android 9 or higher cannot make the files in their data directories world-accessible.

Android 11 expands upon this restriction. If your app targets Android 11, it cannot access the files in any other app’s data directory, even if the other app targets Android 8.1 (API level 27) or lower and has made the files in its data directory world-readable.

morriscox,

The OS seems to enforce this but is above my pay grade. A custom ROM no doubt would work.

morriscox,

The longer a business is around the more people that get replaced and the new people are going to be different and which leads to a change in culture and objectives. So basically the name is the same but everything else is different, including what the company produces (since products seldom don’t change).

If the company goes public then there’s definitely going to be a complete change since shareholders will demand as much profit as they can get, no matter how or what the consequences can be. They may complain about Prime Video showing ads when they pause a movie yet demand that Amazon give them a stronger return on their investment.

That’s a bit long-winded. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone (and watch) and have been tempted to see about using a custom ROM (I jailbroke most of my phones) but it’s my daily driver and I’m leery of messing up.

morriscox,

Have you tried Samsung Thermal Guardian?

morriscox,

I agree. Whether they claim that it’s to reduce bloat or to get people to create a Samsung account, they really should have included apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.… as core functionality. You should also look at apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.…

Go to the widgets program and you will see that those cards have 3 dots in the upper right corner that will allow you to hide or customize the widget.

EDIT: Never mind. I came back later and a MLB widget was on the lock screen which I certainly didn’t authorize.

Rules of Tech Support:

Rule T18 - You are incompetent. You just don’t know it. At least, that’s what your replacement will think.

Rule T18A - You will have to deal with techs who are incompetent.

Rule T18B - Sometimes, you really are incompetent.

morriscox,

And you might not have a smartphone or smartwatch with you. I’ve seen people who needed a calculator to do basic math.

morriscox,

A survey of 100 people out of 10s of thousands is useless.

morriscox,

You can cherry-pick anything if you have 22K people to pick from and only need 100. We don’t how and at which point the question was asked. We don’t know the selection process. All we know is that they got 100 people to say something. It shouldn’t matter if we agree with the findings.

morriscox,

Seriously? You seem to only care that the survey results show what you want them to show. Apparently it doesn’t matter how shoddy the survey was done, as long as it says what you want it to say, you’re okay with that and will attack anyone who points out that it’s flawed. This is Anthony Wakefield territory.

morriscox,

Who are all these that these ads are working on?

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

morriscox,

We need to hunt down whoever these ads are working on.

morriscox,

Currently, DirectStorage and the thread scheduler for those with current Intel processors.

Satire, for those who didn’t catch on.

morriscox,

My bad. I was letting myself be distracted.

morriscox,

I didn’t know that he’s that way. I thought it was part of the satire.
