To be fair to the legislature (which given the terrible state it is in now, is hard to imagine) but the bill wasn’t written in any ambiguous manner. The conservative majority just decided to define the word adjacent in a way that conflicts with both the Dictionary and common sense, because a private developer might…

Because the rise of a conservative fascist is relevant to all Americans. And you’re kidding yourself if you think he wouldn’t start policing video games.

Yeah, just like it’s stealing when I lend somebody the car I lease from Honda!

Well apparently I’m not that smart. I’ve been paying $19.99 a month for Netflix Premium, which means, straight from Netflix’s site: “Watch on 4 different devices at the same time with Premium”. So how was that stealing if my girlfriend or parents want to what something at the same time? Since, you know, I was already…

but what about people who do belong to the same family but live apart. I am not talking about college students. My daughters live with their mother but use my netflix account. they should’t be expected to have to get their own account because the parents are no longer living together. it isn’t like i am giving it to…

Wait...is Netflix the snake or the frog?

Remember when Netflix advertised “Sharing is caring”

Back to Limetorrents.lol and Plex

Nerd here. All Netflix had to do was force 2FA and mask the update as “security”. That could have had the potential to create enough login friction to prevent rampant password sharing.

Explain to me how exactly this stealing. I’m paying for a certain number of simultaneous streaming connections at a time.

HBO Max’ layout wasn’t perfect, but the new Max layout is a huge downgrade

I still don’t get how HBO rebranding itself in a way that it will be confused with Cinemax — a perennial second-tier service that has been the butt of softcore porn jokes since the 80s — ever got greenlit by executives. Unless... they’re morons.

It’s like if Coca-Cola said “starting on May 23, we’re going to start selling cans of frogs instead. From that day on, when you open a can of Coke, there will be a live frog inside it,” and then Pepsi waited until May 23 and quietly started selling cans of snakes. Everyone would be so stunned that Coke actually went…

lol

Yes, what the *checks notes* A.V. Club really needs to do is write about something other than media with an audio and/or visual component.

Same. My kids are always logging in from various devices and I’m responsibly contacting them to make sure its not some rando, but I *do* pay for an account where they have their own user profiles. What do I care if they are watching on an old ipad at their dad’s, or at some other kid’s house at a sleepover? Also, like…

As luck would have it, this coincides with me installing Plex on my home server and spending the last few weeks ripping my entire film collection into it, so if I do ditch Netflix, I’ll be ok for a year or two.

What money? Nobody here makes any money.

Here in Canada we dropped Netflix the day they started to push this crap and haven’t looked back.

They are very unclear on how this all works. They say it’s just for your household but that you can use it on the go but they don’t explain how they determine “your household”.  Are the restricting access to one IP at a time?   Or some other method?  What if my wife wants to watch a show on her lunch break and I do…
