What Convinced You To Pick Xbox In The First Place?
  • Kinect. Skype. The tv tuner features. It plays blu ray. It has streaming apps. On top of that it plays network-based games that I enjoy.

    Most of that is gone now. It still has game pass that I check out every now and then.

  • ‘Outrageously small,’ Chipotle says there’s been no change to its portion sizes despite complaints
  • It could be the franchise owners getting squeezed like they did with Quiznos. If you have to buy Chipotle ingredients from Chipotle, and they’ve raise d the prices of those ingredients, but you’re not allowed to raise customer prices — it could result in smaller portions without a directive coming from corporate.

    Blurry edged lenses

    What is up with this new fad of blurring the edge of the frame on TV shows? Seeing it a lot on AppleTV, lately on Palm Royale. Is this the new “shaky cam”?

    New soap opera coming to CBS

    Surprising news. Have the networks figured out how to make daytime serials cheaply again? Have the demographics for broadcast tv shifted enough that there will be enough viewers?

    No runoff for Devine?

    With a race this close I’m guessing there’s no runoff because there are only two candidates, not three (or more) that could swing votes to one or the other if there was a runoff?

    I wonder if Walker will ask for a recount?

    Skinemax & Zaslav

    Got to thinking today about all the adult content that used to be on HBO and Cinemax — and wondered why we hadn’t heard any reports of Zaslav selling it all off to another studio/channel. Programs like The Hitchhiker, and Real Sex that were produced by HBO and Cinemax, but pulled from streaming. The current head of WBD is a notorious penny pincher, so you’d think he’d have sold it off if he’s not going to air it.

    Tubi’s unnecessary rebrand

    https://www.vulture.com/article/tubi-new-look-sound.html

    Tubi is a great service. I’m amazed they paid money for this new logo though. And the new purple centered design makes it look like Roku.

    Changing your brand identity shouldn’t be taken lightly. You lose existing brand recognition, and it costs a fortune in coding, print media, and bumper costs.

    Feature request: built in translation

    If I recall correctly, current versions of iOS have a built-in translation engine. Items posted to c/All are in a variety of languages. It would be nice if the user could choose Translate from the … menu when viewing a post.
