2 parents, 2 kids. It might not happen all the time but I think in a family of 4 it's easy enough to run into this scenario that you might be interested in 4 streams.

> Another, non-algorithm related complaint is that it’s difficult to watch a channel from oldest to newest, that is, keeping track of up to where you’ve already watched within the channel’s history, in order to pick up where you last stopped, in particular for channels with hundreds of videos.

Absolutely. Furthermore Youtube is surprisingly bad at syncing progress within a single video. I often switch from iPad to desktop and back, and there's a lot of overlap between where I left off and where Youtube decides to continue, which forces me to manually seek forward. At the very least Youtube should save my play position whenever I hit pause but apparently it doesn't.

Why can't he simply ride his own bike rather than forcing you to be stuck in traffic?

Also, do you really consider 11 and 13 year olds brave for riding a bike? I'd say that is a pretty normal thing to do at that age.

Headphones.

Not true. It may work. However your return period should serve as a way to test the item similar to what would be possible in store. Using a vacuum cleaner for a month may result in a partial refund if there are clear signs of usage. There are limits to what is considered appropriate testing.

For your information: AmazonBasics cables are very reliable and reasonably priced. You can get an USB-C to DisplayPort cable from them for around 10 bucks and you should have a lot less trouble with it.

In my experience spending big on video cables is only necessary for large distance and bandwidth requirements (like HDMI at 2160p60 over 20 meters).

Why not use ALAC and individual tracks? It's lossless and compatible with iTunes/Music.app and iOS devices (as well as basically any hardware or software player worth using).

Using whole files rather than individual tracks is just asking for problems with mainstream players in my opinion.

However if you're serious about your music library I recommend Roon. Not cheap but a great solution.

> the price for electricity is ~0.28 kWh

For Germany you can double that. At least.

That question seems absolutely alien to me. Surely you have alternatives in the US, don't you? Here in Germany I visit Geizhals, search for the product in question, sort by price and order from one of the countless shops that have the product in stock.

Maybe I'll end up on Amazon, maybe not - they all can deliver quite fast and they all have to adhere to european minium return policy standards. So the handling of returns isn't something most customers ever have to think about.

Just to give an example here's the price comparison for a current AMD CPU: https://geizhals.de/amd-ryzen-7-7700x-100-100000591wof-a2801...

Don't you have anything similar over there?

You managed to miss the one case the grand parent poster actually mentioned: An EU person located in the US. This person is also covered by the GDPR thereby rendering any geo-absed rules and routings useless.

> No CDN required (static files, not that much traffic).

Shops with actual traffic might need a CDN.

> If you're a small business owner you're either not affected by GDPR, or you're doing something shady.

Well, apparently I can't use Shopify despite having no interest in tracking, ads or any kind of analytics.

As a consumer I hope this lawsuit fails.

Since the agreement between Amazon and Apple it was finally possible to reliably buy genuine Apple hardware and accessories from Amazon, often significantly cheaper than from Apple.com.

Before it was wild west. I don't want to buy used or counterfeit iPhones from random marketplace sellers and Apple preventing just that is a good thing. I don't see why a company shouldn't be able to decide who can sell its products. Of course pricing is a different discussion but from what I can tell Amazon is free to (and does) set their own prices for Apple products.

And it was easy to set up. No need for accounts and email addresses. The fact that your phone number served as id and login meant that even my tech-illiterate mother was able to use it.

I think I found the problem.

Paypal got popular because it allowed people to pay for things instantly online. SEPA Überweisung didn't really solve that problem and credit cards used to be rather uncommon - even today many germans don't have one.

P2P payments between friends came later and wer just another thing Paypal could handle but at that point it was already very popular.

Attach the adapter to your headphones. Done.

Yes, it's slightly more inconvenient but I wouldn't dismiss the whole product due to a missing port few people (including me) use these days.

Pro users use audio interfaces. The headphone jack is useful for quick improvised sketching or listening but Apple's official dongle will be fine in those situations as well. It's actually a pretty well made DAC for its size: https://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/lightning-adapter-audio-qu...

For any serious work you'll probably be around a decent audio interface anyway.

I get your point but it's a sane default for most users. They expect their stuff to magically be there after replacing their devices. They don't make any distinction between local or cloud storage and can barely handle folder structures these days.

I really love the versatility of my iPad as well but this single use case you mentioned I can't understand:

> + I want to play some music (great speakers)

Yes, the speakers are fine for their size and certainly good enough to listen to a podcast or talk-heavy Youtube video but I couldn't imagine listening to any music on it. Any budget bluetooth speaker for less than 100 bucks or headphones will sound much, much better.

Then your point doesn't apply to iMessage. You receive SMS spam, not iMessage spam.

While that's a good thing it's really just a preset and you can get there with any TV by disabling all those "enhancements".

I find that hard to believe. This is most likely an issue with your GPU or cable/port used.

I think as a more modern option, albeit with strong rpg influences, you might consider the fantastic Disco Elysium as an adventure game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/632470/Disco_Elysium__The...

Very different tone though.

They can use Apple's WeatherKit REST API which is the replacement for the Dark Sky API.

Garmin really doesn't seem to understand that in this day and age they are supposed to be a software company as much as they are a hardware company.

In Germany Apple lists the very reliable Deutscher Wetterdienst as one of their sources but both services seem to differ, at times quite significantly, in their forecasts.

Won't those apps be able to use Apple's WeatherKit framework to get the same data?

Of course it still affects other platforms like Android or web apps.

Have you tried Dirac Live? Particularly with a receiver that supports their Bass Control feature? My NAD receiver only supports regular Dirac Live and it's still much, much better than any integrated room correction from Denon/Marantz, Yamaha & Co.

The improvement is so noticeable that I assume it would take a lot of resources to fix the room physically in order to achieve similar results.

I don't want to sound to enthusiastic but I'm pretty certain I'll never buy a receiver that doesn't support Dirac Live.

120% here. I suddenly feel very young.

For point 5 you should add and emphasize that one should never overlap wheels with the rider in front of them.

Same with cyclists. Head units from Garmin or Wahoo are far superior but an Apple Watch could be a decent alternative if it at least supported ANT+ to connect a power meter and a range of sensors. Or Strava Live Segments (maybe they do via the Strava App?).

Currently The Apple Watch is a nice casual fitness tracker and the Watch Ultra doesn't change any of that.
