  • 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties

  • No. GrapheneOS only supports Google Pixel devices. I do not know if the Boox boot loader can be unlocked to support any custom ROMs.

  • Netflix accidentally made its content show up in the Apple TV app

    Jump

  • They do, but apps can integrate their content with the TV app without subscriptions being controlled by Apple as well.

  • Sonos Plans to Launch Apple TV-Like Streaming Box

    Jump

  • I remember reading this article a couple months ago. Here is a quote:

    This operating system is supposedly built around ads; we know how that sounds, but advertising is also prevalent in other TV software platforms including webOS and Fire TV OS. The Trade Desk emphasises a user experience that delivers "better cross-platform content discovery, personalization, subscription management, and potentially fewer (more relevant) ads," so we hope that the importance of ads doesn't detract from the user experience.

    If this is actually true, there is no reason to consider Sonos. Especially at the super premium price of $200-$400. That makes the Apple TV look cheap.

  • Any thoughts on Nebula as a YouTube alternative?

  • There used to be a bundle with both, but that ended over a year ago.

  • Any thoughts on Nebula as a YouTube alternative?

    Jump

  • I have been using Nebula for years and it has replaced most of my use of YouTube. Whether it is worth it for you or not depends on what you watch. You can see what content is on Nebula without subscribing to get an idea of what is there.

    The biggest problem I have with Nebula is that it is advertised as a “creator owned” company, but that is not actually the case. Here is a blogpost that goes into more detail about that. That being said, from what I am aware of, Nebula still pays creators more than YouTube per view. I just wish they were more transparent about their business.

  • I mostly use websites in order to use ad blockers and many apps use far more storage than necessary. I mostly use apps when they have functionality that I want that the website is missing or when the app just offers a significantly better experience than the website.

  • “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock

    Jump

  • But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.

  • Setting up a new laptop - How do I get around needing a Microsoft account?

    Jump

  • That is only an option on the Pro version. Most computers come with Home.

  • Amazon announces first Kindle ever with color screen, retailing for $279

  • You should be using an RSS reader.

    Jump

  • Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

    I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.

  • Favorite search engines or browsers?

    Jump

  • Firefox and Brave Search

  • iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18

    Jump

  • They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.

  • Panasonic Announces Return to the US with New Line-Up of OLED and Mini-LED TVs with Fire TV Built In

  • Miracast and Chromecast are different. Miracast is the open standard while Chromecast is Google’s proprietary casting protocol.

    Roku supports both Miracast and AirPlay, but I don’t think it supports Chromecast.
