Didn’t the show runner say that the dumb public was to blame for the failure of the show?
Edit: he blamed dumb Americans.
Baginski said, “When a series is made for a huge mass of viewers, with different experiences, from different parts of the world, and a large part of them are Americans, these simplifications not only make sense, they are necessary.”
It was definitely easier to create music with my current tools when I used Windows and Cubase! I left Windows behind for good and haven’t been able to scratch that itch.
Would love to be able to get back to low-latency and tools I understand. I haven’t been breaking my back trying, but I spent a few days with different DAWs and not really getting anywhere close. If it became easier, I’d get my MIDI kit back out and my USB audio interface and mics and start creating music again. I’m no Dev, but a creative lacking the tools for expression.
Good to hear that something like this is possibly getting moving.
I’ve been off windows for a long time, and when I was forced to use it, it was enterprise, locked down and stripped by knowledgeable IT teams.
Yesterday, I had my first exposure to Win 11 S mode. What a piece of crap. Not just the way its locked down, but the incessant Onedrive ads, broken settings app with missing features, AI buzzword addons, sloppy UI and general lack of control over your own computer.
Recommending my friend install Linux ASAP with my support. Nobody should have to endure that much cruft and garbage on their owned computer. They can’t even install software outside of the MS store? Gross.
Tmux is also good for long operations, as tmux is running as a server and you can close the terminal while tmux chugs away. Others can also connect to the tmux session through ssh and share screens.
Having to disable protected services to stop updates from rebooting in the middle of a nine hour encode was it for me. Checking on my encode at what should have been 90% and find my PC at the login screen was it for me. Handbrake works better for me in Linux, too.
After reading the adalytics report, it sounds more like ads that were meant to be viewed mid-stream and (presumably) on YouTube content, only when clicked, were instead served on auto-play, looping and muted on third-party websites that donn meet the standards of the sold product.
So like you said, but it seems more that buyers thought their ads would run on certain locations and circumstances that ensured higher viewer interest, and instead were being charged for ads played off screen, behind other ads, and some even viewed by “declared bots”.
My GF had a Windows laptop until this week and her last straw was three reboots in a row, each with over an hour of waiting for updates on shutdown and startup. She never asked for the updates, and wasn’t asked ifbahe wanted to perform them.
Now her password is required for any updates, and she controls her computer,as it should be.
I’m in another country for a while and can’t get English subtitles on my Netflix content on my Nvidia Shield TV. I was using a translator app and pausing the video to understand garbled audio and gave up watching.
I don’t dare contact support, so I’m planning to cancel and lean into my eye patch.
One point I forgot to make above: I’m not sure if we can say the Q3 2023 revenue growth can be related to the new ad-blocking-blocking or not, but I suspect there’s a piece of that in there.
