So, uh, the thing they already do? Paging Eric Cartman; we have the job you’ve been training for!

Technically sort of correct! The “look what you made me do” defense...

Hang on, any chance your new soundbar’s the Dragon 11.4.6? ‘Cause that’s what I have! Subtle it is not, but hooray for copious HDMI 2.1 ports :) My LG TV has a few but won’t passthrough DTS, so anything that matters gets plugged in to the soundbar. (You’re right it’s an oddball hobby, juggling far too many devices and…

Oopsies, forgot that Apple TV existed! I’ve run into those same limitations on Roku and similar ones on Fire devices; everything just pushes me back to the Shield (for my situation, at least.) I agree too, the Roku’s interface is nice - Nvidia’s version of Android TV sometimes feels like it was designed by an obtuse…

I primarily use Tidal, but YouTube Music still has my whole honkin’ mp3 collection uploaded (from back in the Google Play Music days, lol) - nice to have my friends’ one-off albums, live recordings, concert DVD mp3 rips, and all that other stuff available whenever and wherever I want, even if the quality’s not exactly…

That’s good news on the Fire Cube if it is indeed true. I can’t stand the devices, but we got a bunch of Fire Sticks for around the house when our ISP’s TV service switched from traditional cable to streaming/IPTV; maybe lossless audio support will trickle down to the rest of Amazon’s hardware. Admittedly, it’s…

Nvidia Shield all the way - for better or worse - until someone else makes another streamer with lossless audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA) support.

I do not comprehend how these critters could’ve been so huge. The vast majority of enormous animals today sustain their size by being herbivores/omnivores and eating constantly (exhibit A: blue whales; counterargument: sperm whales), but these ichthyosaurs are set up to be carnivores, which is extremely inefficient…

I told you its been over 10 years

The sad part is that you’re right. Yay capitalism.

Christ, big honkin’ arachnid photo in the top comment. Thanks for the nightmares.

They put two races between Austria and Hungary this time! The teams could just about push the equipment from Spielberg to Budapest if not for the mountains (fun halfway at least, wheee,) but nope, let’s layover in Silverstone and Spa instead.

Bingo. I don’t need a nutrition label to tell me what a scam Sparklight* is. I’d love for any of this to include something like “and if you don’t like these fees, check out the only alternative, six-megabit Frontier* DSL!”

Ok, I was able to keep a straight face through the other (also very good) jokes here, but you broke me. Well done.

Seconded [red/green color-deficient car guy here]. Bring on the purples, yellows, oranges, etc. (essentially the McLaren color palette, but on normal-ish cars!) I’d drive an Altima* if I could get one in papaya or plum.
