I have at least two people in my life that watch a lot of TV and absolutely cannot or will not learn the concept of inputs. totally mystified by the concept. despite using the drat things hours a day for ages. I figured out inputs when I was like 5, shits been around since at least the 80s, what's the problem?? why do I have to fix the thing you use all the time and I use never?? shouldn't you know it better than me?

It’s overwhelming Bruh I literally work in IT and was raised by a computer (  ) and even I just get exhausted dealing with it all. I turn into an old(er) person when encountering TVs now because every UI and remote is totally different from all the others and the menus lag like crazy no matter what, and then having to type in that Ouija board interface. Soon as you learn something, it shuffles around.Light Gun Man posted:they yell at anyone younger to "fix it". Learned helplessness. Any obstacle, either ask for help or better yet get very angry and loud and then people will come to soothe you and do the thing for you.

You have to have faith it’s going to work I shop at Tom Thumb regularly and when my tank has some room I check if I have fuel rewards at the gas station. You have to hit the YES button for it to prompt you to enter your phone number, but it takes long enough for the screen to do anything that you will probably press it again, so when the screen does change and you go to start entering digits, the 2nd YES registers and you get punted back out for invalid input I don't do it often enough to remember it, so it happens every drat time.

I have a Phillips smart TV that I like, but I don't use any of the smart features other than to turn it on and off with my voice. Everything else is through my ps5 or Kodi box, since I don't watch broadcast TV (because gently caress paying for Tory propaganda). But the Netflix/prime apps on PlayStation are getting shittier, and the Disney app was always poo poo. Remember how stuff like iTunes/apple music and Spotify pretty much eliminated music piracy because they gave us usable interfaces* and great content selection at reasonable prices? I feel like the film industry looked at that model and then decided to make it as loving horrible as possible. You have to have at least half a dozen services to get even half of what you want to see, and they're all determined to make the experience as annoying as possible, making piracy once again far quicker - and often in better quality - with no loving ads or dumbass algorithms trying to push garbage that I'm not interested in. *Okay they also have increasingly poo poo UIs too. It's like they WANT us to pirate poo poo.

I wonder if anyone is still grandfathered in if they're on ATT they probably are. I'm grandfathered into a (relatively) new ATT plan that had some crazy promotion which included HBO/Max/Whatever for life. They occasionally call to  review my plan but nothing is better.

Across the top it says, “America’s beloved #1 bestseller, now an enchanting motion picture!” somewhat related to this, I like how some new books say "has a neflix adaptation " or even more lol, a streaming service that isnt the Big 3(4?). that a book will survive David Zaslav tax holing the video adaptation also since we're on dumb tv chat again. is there a different between commercial displays or commercial tvs?

Coming in hot with a new one: I've noticed that in recent years an increasing number of websites with search filters refresh the entire page every time you add a single filter. It makes me furious in a visceral way that I do not fully understand.

Between food being far too expensive and entertainment not only going downhill, but basically stopping now with the actors strike, it feels like a bad omen. When you cant provide the people with bread and circuses they start getting pissed.

All this poo poo with music and movies is because in 1998 some executive spent 5 minutes with their grandson who showed him how easy it was to mass burn CDs. That's it, boom, death of a form factor. Nightmares about profits and free rides, and entire industries changed.

Microwave meals have gotten shittier. For awhile they graduated up from packaged sadness to actual decent food but have recently started to plummet right back down. I especially love that allot of them now no longer use a simple plastic film, but a plastic baggy, meaning the bottom of the tray gets covered in crap and extricating it from the baggy is unpleasant. Double so for the ones that want you to stir it half-way through, meaning you've got to negotiate the drat thing back into the wet plastic baggy.

armpit_enjoyer posted:I have a Philips flatscreen from 2006 and I dread the day it stops working because it's got a surprisingly decent RGB upscaler built into it for some reason? It makes my Dreamcast games look all sexy and crisp and it's the primary reason I refuse to replace it. That's actually just how Dreamcast games look.

My mom needed a new monitor for her PC recently and the prices for 26" LCD monitors and 48" 4K TVs were literally the same, so guess what we got. Works like a dream.

Local broadcast TV. 20 some years ago you could turn on local TV programming and you'd have some decent variety in late night/weekend content to make it a bit worth keeping an eye on. Today, even with all the subchannels on antenna, it all feels far more bland in selection.

I miss the days of being able to "fix" computers, TVs, and other electronics for people by reading the words on the screen out loud to them. These day if a grandparent asks for help with Facebook or voice controlled microwave oven or toilet that needs an app to flush it I have no idea what the gently caress is going on.

I bought a french door refrigerator from Best Buy about a year ago, and today I still get promotional emails from them about french door refrigerators. As if I would not only be in the market for another french door refrigerator in less than a year, but if I were in the market again I would somehow be willing to buy another one from the people who sold me a poo poo french door refrigerator that crapped out after a year.
