Its hemorrhaging money, of course they've pulled all development/non-critical bare bones operations out at this point. I'm skeptical it will last more than a couple more years.

They dropped the HBO from the app name, leaving it with the incredibly dumb name Max. They’re also k-holing entire series to save a few bucks on royalties, so they’re stripping value while rebranding. I don’t know why they couldn’t just update the HBO Max app on the PS4, but we had to download the new app for the same stuff. The only improvement I’ve seen is that it’s easier to tell which profile is selected, which could have been done with a stronger border in the old app.

All these chucklefucks telling people “learn to code” and for what? For the richest corps in the country to shovel out a half-baked app every three years? Why isn’t a good streaming service UI a solved problem?

One possible solution would be to streaming services have some sort of standardized API so it would be possible to build generic clients to consume them, and them people would have choice and soon many good clients would be available, and also people would be able to use several streaming services within that same program

But I dont think the streaming companies are interested on anything like that

At least on Google TV, Apple TV+ only very recently rolled out this "feature", and they probably spent an ungodly amount of money on that app

Prime Video and Apple TV+ already try to do this. Shows from other services show up in there and you just have to pay extra to subscribe to that service.

HBO Max saves your place in shows, it always has since launch at least on the website and on the Roku app.

This sounds like a problem with an app from the TV manufacturer or something.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

The same reason all sorts of places keep loving up their UI: The people who do the job and, more specifically, their management don't want to look like their department doesn't do anything important when it's time to report earnings that year and upper management starts looking for places to start laying off staff and cutting budgets.

Basically: Perverse incentives, graft, and the need to validate their existence by rebuilding everything so it can be all new and poo poo.

You are supposed to make a noticeable slash if it's a trophy, since it would not be honoring it to hang such a damaged flag.

Hahahaha gently caress those traitors:
A 1905 congressional resolution that flags from the American Civil War should be returned to their places of origin did not lead to the return of the flag to Virginia, nor did requests by Virginia or groups therein for its return in 1961, 1998, 2000, and 2003; a request by the governor of Virginia to borrow the flag in 2013 was also declined.
