Maybe I'm a bootlicker but if this is an alternative for theaters, this makes sense?

Assuming anyone buys it

Seems like it would be fairly easy to figure out how to game it either way

lmao...I aint paying nowhere near original price for a live concert from my tv. Also something that detects how many people are in my living room its not something I would ever want to own. BIG PASS.

I mean, there's plenty of people living alone who were pissed that a movie on Disney+ costs the equivalent of 3 movie tickets, since it's priced for a family watching it.

I meant to dupe it into thinking only one person is watching when it's actually however many

I was replying to your point about people buying it

I guess you could dupe it, but we'd have to see how it works first

Amazon, google and others invented a device that LISTENS TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY ALL THE TIME and people went "yes, I fucking want that right now! Give me 5 of them" because it means you can do handy things like ask a computer what the time is or change the song with a voice command, or turn a light off

We fucking deserve capitalism tbh.

It doesn't save everything you say until you say the wake word though. Bit misplaced criticism here

This is actually not true, not by default.

Another thing is your location is always being recorded, even when you turn it off, even when airplane mode is on, in some cases.

This isn't even accounting for humanity's desire to wilfully log every activity to social networking sites

This would sound like tinfoil hat nonsense were it not for the extensive documentation on all of it

In essence, we've allowed all this tech to happen and we're basically just surviving on the promise that they aren't going to do anything bad with it

Edit: Ok, maybe it doesn't RECORD until the wake word is said. but i don't know, that's just what google says. I have no goodwill towards any of these fuckers anymore.

I thought you were referring to Google Home and Alexa devices, not phones

Nobody savvy who couldn't find a workaround anyway.
But let's be honest, it's proven that the average consumer doesn't give a shit that their phones/computers/TVs are spying on them 24/7 and big corp is doing who knows what with their data.

That doesn't bother them as much as not being able to have the shiny new toy.

Netflix is facing an unprecedented amount of competition and is not going to run off subscribers by not only requiring external hardware but supercharging their customers for having people over to watch tv.

average person doesn't have that anyway

My issue is that is that they're trying to charge more for the same amount of output . That's bullshit.
