Re: Media Consumption & Cost
As I said, such software/services are compatible with phones. I use protonvpn on mine, which includes optional ad filtering, but my point was not to recommend any particular one only to communicate that they exist and work well. My wife uses YouTube on her iPad a lot and it only supports iOS 9 so m...

Re: Media Consumption & Cost
Do you not use AdBlock? Do people not use AdBlock? I can't imagine a world without AdBlock. I used to use AdBlock but the last time I had to reset MacOS I forgot about it... also I don't think you can use AdBlock when using YouTube with a TV or my wife's iPad or my phone's YouTube app.... BTW I fin...

Re: Media Consumption & Cost
I pay AUS$15 a month for YouTube Premium and about AUS$14 a month for Netflix. I am signed into many YouTube devices including computers, TVs, my phone and my wife's iPad. This means I never get ads. Many people I know sign into my Netflix account but they can only watch it on a maximum of two devic...

Do you eat while on the computer?
I usually eat my meals in front of my computer and sometimes watching the TV. When I visit my parents they make me eat with them at the dinner table.
My wife usually eats her meals while watching TV but sometimes eats them in bed watching videos on her iPad.

Re: With which TV/movie character do you most relate?
That's a really good question... Maybe the main character in the Netflix interactive movie "Bandersnatch". It involves a game developer from the 80s (I am also a part-time game developer and kind of started in the 1980s) and in the movie I can control him.... he also has a severe mental illness. His...

Re: Little Raves
This is from my Programming Fundamentals class:
It talks about bizarre things like Japan only having block numbers and no street names.... and their doctors being paid for you being well rather than when you're unwell....
