Most of the countries that are deciding to join recently are getting absolutely eviscerated by the dollar when it comes to foreign exchange, they all have very weak currencies because the dollar is just so incredibly strong relative to everywhere else.
It’s a lot more complicated than just that, but that definitely seems to be a catalyst at the moment
I was gonna say Jet Set Radio Future too. I absolutely love the cel shading art style. Will check out Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, thanks
Which soap? I’ve been using Dove for everything for the past few years. Apart from the fact that it’s really handy for travelling I’ve never had any issues with using it as both shampoo and normal soap but maybe I’m doing it wrong and I should have dedicated conditioner and shampoo
Thailand is full of western roid-heads and they have a decent online presence. Vigorous Steve on YouTube is a good starting point
Judas goat! Judas goat! Judas goat!
They’re probably just leveraging the good will they have as the plucky underdog. I personally found the app clunky and that the videos loaded really slowly, but I don’t blame them for offering a lifetime subscription.
Either that, or it’s just price anchoring and they weren’t expecting anyone to spend $300, but it made the other options look cheaper
None. I use Premiumize with Plex for fast downloads and a Netflix style interface once I have the content. And IPTV if I want to watch movie channels
I use EPG dot best. They’re an EPG provider who give you lots of detailed information about each channel and show/movie and nice clean logos and everything.
You can filter large EPG files from your IPTV provider into much smaller ones that only include the channels you actually watch. The smaller EPG file means that the app uses less RAM on my Nvidia Shield too
It’s not free and it’s kinda finicky to set up, with a weird workflow, but it works well once that’s done
You can’t stopp the plopp
I think all these other countries only care about the fact that India has a burgeoning middle class and is going to become the next consumption led market. Everyone has too much of their own stuff to deal with at the moment, but they love the idea of huge cohort of new customers over the coming decades, regardless of who’s in charge
Not to take away from your post, which is nuanced and interesting. But I think the buck stops at the economics for most
Truly the pimp of the year
The only way I have found to get reliable IPTV services is to post on local Facebook groups. There is invariably a few middle-aged guys who can’t spell properly and who can you “mate” who will know which service works best in your area and be resellers of said service. A few 24-hour trials and you can usually figure out what suits you best.
Blood and Oil is a fascinating book about the rise of MBS. They literally had a guy on the inside in Twitter in California who would feed them back information like this. Definitely not a boring book, it reads like a thriller more often than not
Surely this is satire?
Exactly, it’s total garbage. I’ve been training the algo for years, no way I’m giving that up
I leave it on, the suggestions are good as far as I can tell. What’s everyone’s beef with it?
I don’t get the YouTube hate in general. It’s much more interesting than Netflix or TV so I’m happy to pay, although I pay Argentina rates courtesy of subscribing while connected to my VPN and I use Sponsor Block to skip the in-video ad reads. It still counts
What’s the joke here? The description reminds me of nearly everything I’ve tried to do in Linux over the years, and I’m not a Linux user because every time I try to do anything it’s a huge odyssey of searching and troubleshooting and all that sort of stuff. Is that the joke? Or just the fact that viruses don’t work on Linux?
I remember seeing my first drone at a music festival in 2010ish. Totally blew me away, pun unintended
