re: Marques Brownlee explains the Apple Antitrust lawsuit
Posted by DoubleDown on 4/9/24 at 9:02 am
I might be stretching this discussion some, however, one thing that concerns me is if the Gov't intervenes here. Is it possible that forcing apple to utilize RCS (or whatever) allows Big Gubm't to obtain/spy/etc on people's conversations/messages?
I get a good bit leery when I hear that the Gov't...

My non-lawyer take is that most all of everyone's statements are true at the same time:
-Apple is kinda getting hosed here. They built a superior product and marketed da fuq outta it. It's the most popular phone/messagine (with imessage) platform in the US.
-Google/android users do get hosed som...

re: iPhone and AT&T issue

I'd start with the proverbial, restart. Then once re-started, if issue still occurs, go to iphone settings and turn off cell service for a few mins AND wifi. Then re-enable cell service, see if problem exists.
Make sure she's on latest iOS via Settings. If all else fails, take it to ATT store but...

TMobile home internet works here in NOLA, however, it's all very location/tower dependant.

re: What should the Falcons do in the draft?
Posted by DoubleDown on 3/26/24 at 7:36 am
The bigger question is what does ATL do at 8 now? I see 3 options:
1) Draft a LB/Edge rusher
2) Draft a "#1 WR"
3) Trade down and pickup the best OLine/DLine available to your new spot and stack up another #2 or #3 rd pick.
Thoughts?...

Posted by DoubleDown on 3/25/24 at 7:35 pm
250g of protein EVERY day is kinda hard on the stomach. Dunno how much you currently weigh but usually 1g - 1.2g of protein per lb of current weight is enough to gradually bulk with muscle.
So let's say you currently weigh 200lbs, you probably don't need more than 200-220g of protein and that's a...

So it depends, did you sign up for ESPN+ outside of Hulu? If so, you need to use the Hulu app.

General concensus for streaming TV seems to be:
1) YouTube TV
2) Hulu with Live TV (as long as you have a hulu package OR want Disney and/or ESPN+)
3) FuboTV (I actually really like FuboTV and it's underrated)...
