Oh no
Anyone else get free months from Hulu a lot? Seems like we have it over half of the year without paying a thing.

Like recently we had two weeks free that ended August 6th and then on the 12th they gave us a month free.

Sub number padding? Hoping I forget to cancel? Both?

I have Netflix and prime and if I'm missing out on some hit new show on a different then too fuckin bad for that show. I'm with the management on this one. I want to pay for things but I simply don't partake at all if they don't make it easy. No show is so good that I need to pirate it to live the phenomenon or whatever.

Lots of people prefer better than Dollar Tree DVD tier content.

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
Between Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime I've got everything I need. If it isn't on there I don't give a poo poo.

Really looking forward to The Tick in a week. The Defenders was pure garbage, and Daredevil was really the only tolerable Marvel show. The guy playing Danny Rand is the loving worst and he's a huge bumbling manchild in both his own series and the Defenders.

I have one. I like the touchbar. I hate the keyboard, especially the arrow keys. it runs too hot doing basically nothing and the fans are always spinning on high.

this weekend I bought a USB-C to USB-A+Ethernet adapter so I can move files to it at non-absurd speeds and also connect my keyboard and mouse.

i will probably only be using hdmi out from it (via a dongle) and maybe usb3 to a hub, that's about it.

might pick up a dock?

does it have enough CPU JUICE (the 3.1 model) to pair well with an external gpu chassis for Video Games so I can sell my giant clunky dumb desktop?

there are no usb3 docks that aren't rickety bullshit that fail around a slight breeze/wifi

which is why apple doesn't sell any of them.

just buy a separate usb3 dongle for every connector you want because apple made a computer with no ports you might actually need
