Agree to disagree on all counts, good day.

When I first saw a commercial for this they didn’t advertise faces/custom pictures. I thought it was a cool idea but at $500 not something I would want to change out regularly.

That would truly be great, but probably won’t happen since it’s developed by a competitor, not an independent 3rd party like Epic.

Not sure about a button but the back gesture works fine on my Pixel.

Well, Shaggy is reportedly a heavy user of "kryptonite". It’s not that much of a stretch

Enjoying entertainment isn’t a human need, and certainly nobody needs this GPU to enjoy anything except maybe spending money. I would really enjoy being able to play all my games at 4k60+…but I’m able to enjoy them just fine with my 1080Ti and probably could even with lesser GPUs, and still none of that is anything I actually need.

This really doesn’t need to happen. It will probably be the first MCU entry I skip altogether.

She was good in Hawkeye but not solo-show good.

"need"

How does this OTA big fix thermal issues? My guess is that it throttles the processor because I’m not sure what else it could be. So yeah you get a software bug fix for a hardware problem there are going to be compromises.

I don’t look at the speedometer all the time but it certainly is necessary from time to time.

From the article:

this issue could prevent drivers from using their backup cam, shifting using the touchscreen, as well as from adjusting the speed of their windshield wipers

The issue isn’t only restricted to when the car is stationary and all of those things are possible safety issues.

how many companies can fIx issues via OTA?

Quite a few, actually.

…as I said, Tesla apologist.

If they offer the same performance, 4k playback, and charge 30-50% less…what will separate the current ATV 4k? Lack of Ethernet jack?

Roku Ultra would be the comparable product and that is $99 MSRP and offers 4k and wide app support with reasonable performance (but not close to what I have seen with the ATV 4k). All of ATV video content is available on other platforms so the only thing they are pushing I guess is ecosystem tie-in and the arcade service? I dunno, just trying to figure out what the specs and price would be to make a second, lower tier device make sense.

I would agree with that assessment, just wondering how they’re going to make something competitive with the mainstream devices without sacrificing something or completely cannibalizing sales of the current devices…unless they plan to discontinue them.

It would make sense to make the cheaper device 1080p to separate the two, however the issue there is that pretty much every major player has devices that do 4k for less than $100 and sometimes much less. And for most consumers that is a spec they can latch onto, whereas performance is more of a feeling. Honestly I didn’t know what I was missing until I bought an ATV 4k, which is something I never would have done were it not for those gift cards.

I am pretty much completely out of the apple ecosystem but I got a decent sized gift card and picked up an ATV4k as the best use of that card that didn’t require me to jump back in with both feet.

All I can say wow, the performance is great compared to the Roku Ultra it replaced and every other device I’ve owned. I wish there was better support for my Harmony but that isn’t Apple’s fault. In any case, if they want to get in and compete with Roku, IMO they shouldn’t do anything to sacrifice the performance. If that means losing 4k so be it. It would be great if they could do 4k but then what separates it from the 4k?

We shall see, but if it has the same performance and is reasonably affordable it may replace every other streaming device in my house.

I’m guessing had I ever shelled out for the Shield I wouldn’t have been as blown away by this, but their budget model loses a lot about what makes that one great.

Lololol. That was good.

Sounds like the same shit Robin Hood "pulled" during memestock implosion. Nice.

Oh yeah I’m definitely buying this. Apologies in advance to my wife.

If this sells enough, they may make the trailer as an additional set. It should be much easier to pull off than this so fingers crossed.

Go get the Tubi app and watch the original again to wash that taste out. I’ve been doing that with my 5yo and it’s been awesome.

This. It’s my only issue with an otherwise amazing set.

The speedometer is on the infotainment screen along with everything else. Clearly a Tesla apologist here.

I guess my sarcasm required tagging, yes my thoughts exactly

That picture looks like a crowning baby…gross. Happy to see that isn’t the actual device…but, holy hell is that a USB-B connector on the Poopy Classic? That’s next level.

This really should have been, like, a day one feature for cell phones.

I’m almost as surprised about this as I was about Quibi.

Main difference being that I actually thought these things looked pretty cool and might have considered giving them money.

Good thing we don’t use the infotainment screen for any critical monitoring or controls…

Oh.
