It sure sounds like he did not have the backbone to officially quit something he had technically quit some time ago. The fact that he chose to go out in a self aggrandizing blaze of wokeness is both comical and pathetic. He needs to go find his little safe space where no "non technical words" can harm his specific sensibilities by proxy.

Comment PVP (Score 1) 56

Cata classic World PvP is where it is at. The real fun is extorting farmers and boosters by destroying them and then taking their bribes to let them earn. Then you escalate after you develop some relationships to being paid to eliminate their competition. To me, WOW is a great MAFIA simulator with real players and real money. GTA has nothing on WOW. People grinding NPCs are missing out on the real fun.

I do not have a smart tv because, in my experience, I prefer my tech to be as modular as possible. Same reason I never bought an imac. I want a display that displayâ(TM)s what I want, nothing more, nothing less. I also, donâ(TM)t want my appliances communicating with the manufacturer or anyone else. Even my car, which comes with itâ(TM)s own cellular radio, getâ(TM)s disconnected from the cloud the day after I buy it.

Comment I quit (Score 2) 109

I just dropped them after being a customer for about 15 years and not because of prices. I don't use "smart tvs. My setup is a 42" screen with an apple TV and a few consoles feeding it. I got the AppleTV about 10 years ago so I can share things from my phone on the big screen with my wife and kid. Since we have netflx, prime, and apple+ subscriptions but the Apple TV app UIs are clunky we normally just stream movies and shows from our phone or ipad to it since the UI is better. Netflix has been the exception. Netflix stopped allowing subscribers to stream to AppleTVs from iOS devices a few years back so we had to use the App on the AppleTV. A few days ago the killed the App. Remotely deleted it from my device. Every other thing I want to send to my TV via airplay works perfectly, Photos, Videos, Youtube, Prime, Apple+, screen mirroring but not Netflix. If, instead of streaming to the TV using airplay (which they killed a few years ago) I try to screen mirror the whole UI, the netflix app on my phone works, I see it, bit it self disables the second I hit play on a video. I can't keep sending money to this company who insists on making it so difficult to consume their product.

This is great news. Finally, "climate change" will get it's day in court and all the studies will be vetted and perhaps the truth, of wether or not, hydrocarbon energy production is in fact, not theory, significantly affecting climate. If it turns out it is, then they will need to prove how much is caused by hydrocarbon burning as opposed to coal from india and china. Maybe we will even find out how much is caused by the Sierra Club successfully campaigning for and succeeding in stopping and even reversing the US's and partially the world's transition to nuclear for half a century. This could turn out to be a great event.
