New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

as an owner of a top of the line tivo, all this universal search / predictive content / apps / content not network focus stuff is what I've been doing for the past two years
i recommend it highly

but i don't need ANOTHER set top box doing the same thing

even the cheap TV i have gets apps and what do those apps do other then take you to content that you then just watch anyways like a normal TV xxp

the UI is maybe not the best but i'm not watching that

I was using a Roku til it crapped out, then a Fire TV and now an XBox One. I do miss iTunes access and if I were an iTunes Music subscriber I'd definitely add one of these, but I don't know that "rent movies on iTunes instead of Amazon" is a $100 selling point.

wait, multiplayer crossy road eh? okay, i'll give you 250 dollars then

lol games yo

still genuinely surprised when i read or hear people say "rent movies"

I got a new TV in June and the remote has big buttons at the top for Netlix, Amazon, and Hulu and I can't think of any reason to want anything else. I just ran a cable to this room last weekend but only because football season is starting.

These presenters are so awkward!

fuck this qvc / gilt (seriously, gilt?) shit tho

baseball shit is pretty cool looking

interesting that they don't have that with NBA/NFL tho as that would moreso be a system seller

xxxp

pretty much.

except now i just download or popcorn time it

i pay $45 for 18 kbps internet (which actually goes up to 22 a lot), including 100 garbage channels, hbo and an amazon prime membership

this deal ends this year and if i can't get a comparable deal (which is likely) i'll be cancelling my subscription

to joygoat

haha my reply was to joygoat

the separate environment tvOS is really counterintuitive to me, can anyone suggest why they're doing that

the only thing that's changed is everything
now YOU are the phone

The only major problem I have with my Roku is the lack of HBO Now, which, as it turns out, does not work properly on my windows laptop (I have exhausted all of the tech support options through both internet and HBO, nothing helps). Otherwise it's fine, although it's a little clunky to search for stuff in some programs like youtube.

I wonder if the Apple TV storage level will be important when Apple's TV service comes along

I currently have two smart TVs in my house, a PS3 and a PS4. The TVs can natively play Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Go and Spotify, or I can stream them through the PS3/PS4. 3/4 devices can also stream my iTunes library (allegedly the PS4 can do it now as well but I haven't set it up yet).

Apple TV is 100% useless to me.

this kid playing Warhammer on the iPhone is hilarious

xxp

it's a streaming service, so i would think not

does anyone live somewhere that has Sony's TV streaming service? curious how well it works, sounds pretty cool

DJP, obviously you need an Apple TV so you can play your iOS version of Marvel Puzzle Quest on a big screen

kind of blows my mind that in my lifetime we've gone from photography requiring a fair amount of knowledge and gear to get a good picture to everyone having a high resolution digital camera on them all the time that has all kinds of image analysis built in

huh, apple trying to remake gifs

I would like to think that if my grandmother was still alive she'd still figure out how to get her finger over part of the lens in 3/4 of pictures

good filter name. the grandma filter for the nostalgic

"the only thing that's changed is that you can press harder and it does something different" didn't have the right ring apparently

tbh that feature works really well on my newer laptop, it's just that the OS does very little with it

it's basically force touch, the same crap the macbook pro has. i disabled it

xp

lol how do you know the diff between it being enabled and disabled? I don't think you can completely disable it, as the trackpad does not at all click now. so if you click at all, you're using force touch

mh oh you most certainly can. i actually really hate that feature

it's all in your trackpad settings i believe.

trust me. it's off!

turn off the laptop completely, then push on the trackpad
then turn it on, and click as normal

you will realize... you have been using force touch

sorry man they made it so you can't not

no, force touch meaning the more dynamic use. not the regular features that mimic a mouse with a left and right button

lol, one republic
this is what happens when you burn out U2

sorry bro

xp

oh, so you disabled the deep click part

it's still using the exact same vibration part, just on weaker mode

you just angrily ripped the third button off your mouse

Who the fuck is one republic

the most middlebrow act they could find

maybe imagine dragons were booked

iPhone upgrade program sounds promising?

multicolor bands for your uselesss smartwatch, ipad surface maxi, ipencil, amazon itv, iphone force touch and onerepublic
i want none of these things and i spend money on truly useless shit

Includes apple care + ?

mh

i recommend you go a week with it "disabled" (or turned off, like i say) and then compare how different it is
