Sure but a nice web app was not really what they were pioneering. The entities you listed don't need none nice apps they are the only source for their content. That's the business Netflix is now in.

Wasn't their big deal for years "we pay you well but fire your if we think you're not worth it any more" which might just be saying the quiet part out loud.

That or maybe enough got cut and were all shocked Pikachu that they backed away from it.

Either way I don't really understand why they continue to have tech company status. They were definitely pioneering streaming but you can build a streaming service in a couple months using AWS to solve the harder problems.

Yeah I don't wait for it either but it does cause me click the play button a few times and watch the throbber spin for a second before I do.

That was always the plan. They were just slow walking it.

I have noticed lately that in FF with ublock the videos have refused to play for an ad like length of time. Probably ab testing something.

It's not like they are doing anything else

I think I need to know where Disney lands in this issue.

Though I guess it remains to be seen if they have the funds to fight the AI VC juggernaut that comprises basically all the growth in the American economy in the last 4 years.

Oh yeah youre right, I was squinting real hard to try and read that on on a phone and was only looking at the bottom

Might be a single computer that's just the primary display.

Nothing in that boot sequence is a deal breaker it's just missing an Internet connection I think.

I actually gifted my parents a 15 year old brother laser and told them to just plug in your laptop.

Do they actually make these for full 8.5 x 11 pages?

I've only seen them for receipts and labels

Yeah but since you didn't write it you won't remember you generated it and you'll just have the LLM spit something else out the next time you need it.
