I live in Bangalore and I feel I have no time to watch a "serious" show like sacred games or altered carbon. You really have to sit down and pay 100% attention to the show to fully understand what's going on. Contrast that to general Indian TV where I can take a pee break and come back and still understand everything. I didn't renew my prime and netflix subscription last month.

TFA is a super buggy webpage.

India also.

First page of results was pretty good. I didn't go deeper.

Is that a bad thing?

> Pay an ever increasing rate for 2 day shipping per year

Just get a prime subscription and never pay for shipping again.

> Sift through an onslaught of phony reviews and hope You get some working cheap crap

I read reviews from all over the web and then just buy it from Amazon. Never got a fake product.

I just hold my phone at half an arms length from my ear in quiet conditions.

Reading the comment under TFA it seems macbook keyboards have no water resistance? Seems a bit weird for such an expensive device.

> Windows 10 really shines on a computer with six processor cores, a 4K display, and a NVMe SSD

I have anecdotally found that just replacing a spinning disk with a nice SSD is enough for win10 to shine.

AFAICT alt+Tab is entirely identical to what it was in win7.

> America ... doesn't hold a monopoly on tech

Certainly seems that way.

> Technology destroys people and places. I’m rejecting it

Read all about it on your smartphone/laptop.

64GB of storage means you cannot upgrade to the full OS version. You would immediately run out of space.

Windows 7 is a dead end. UWP is the future, however shitty it currently may be.

Quite simply it's a lack of ₹₹₹, alongwith some routine government incompetence.

Tl;dr USA refuses to be a nanny state and impugn on the liberty of private citizens.

Off the top of my head:

1. slow to load the main screen

2. slow to resume a video

3. quality is very low, both streaming and downloaded

4. many videos cannot be downloaded

5. sometimes the playback won't start and I have to force stop the app.

6. the app cannot be minimized to a window

7. seeking is slow and buggy

8. many shows have only old series, for example, expanse

These comparisons are with youtube. All in all, it feels like a single sprint effort to me. Guess they are spending all their money on content.

Netflix's android app is simply horrible. I prefer to watch pewdiepie on youtube than netflix's latest show because of that. I subscribed to their mid-level plan for about a year. One day while watching the daredevil, I realized the quality was so pathetic that it felt like playing a VCR on my 1440p screen. Canceled the subscription and I just watch Youtube now.

> Wasn’t the whole point of the internet that geographical distance no longer matters?

Yup, the EU needs to understand that.

I feel that minimum wage pushes companies to invest in technology and automation. Which is always good. Set the minimum wage at $50 and eventually no human will need to work for so less money.

Amazon is much lower though @ ₹999/year. You also get fast shipping and music streaming.

> I've always anonymized my contact information.

So you've lied on the form. While this may have worked for you, it obviously cannot be the standard way. The law cannot be made on the assumption that users can just lie.

DRM is not undefeatable.

No, I mean what does it mean for an app to have multi-monitor support? Isn't that usually a domain for the window manager. The app can be dragged from one monitor to another.

What would that entail?

That changelist is fucking huge! It took me a proper 20 minutes to just read through each new feature.

> bunch of FreeBSD devs are willing to do most of the work

I mean the whole thing is on github. I'm sure electron will be happy to merge a pr.

That's true for far more than political positions.

Because that's not what most people want.

> It’s First Past The Post that forces the two party system. Get rid of that

Why? Two party system is a feature, not a bug.
