    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    I literally received my refund today. I requested a refund, I couldn't take it. I'm not paying for a service and getting treated like a pirate while a pirate gets much better content and service than me.

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    You appear to have made my argument for me. That a device can be 4K capable and play 4K content, which gives higher fidelity even if the actual screen is not 2160p. The fact that you can tell the fidelity is higher even after down sampling. I'm paying for the thing. Let me use the thing.

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    No my devices all are 4K capable. I already posted screenshots here of my phone playing 4K on YouTube. Hence me not liking it that Disney sells the package as 4K streaming but only if you have a TV. It'd make sense for me if it was Apple limiting 4K to their Apple TV thing. They'd be saying buy...

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    4K depends on the video. It must also go up to 4K. I've added screenshots from YouTube for you to see. Also, my eyes can tell. I'm not special at all but people can see this stuff. Watching DStv stream really bugs me because it says I'm watching FIFA in HD but the encoding is all weird, like...

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    I aggressively limit screen time and having a TV sit there really makes it hard. A computer can be out of sight, out of mind while we focus on other playtime routines.

    Yeah I am. The option is just gone. I think they removed it because even their support website also removed the pages guiding you to do this. The page is indexed by Google search but leads to a 404.

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    Slight correction, that isn't how it works. My phone can play 4K from YouTube and whenever Netflix decides to let me watch in 4K. My MacBook also is 4K. My guess is they punish people on computers because they think we're all bloody filthy pirates. Ironic because this treatment makes you want...

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    PiP is picture in picture. Like I can sneak in Bob's Burgers as a tiny little floating Window while doing other stuff. Netflix and YouTube, even DStv stream I'm currently paying for the world cup has it. For 4K, you can only watch 4K on TVs for some odd reason. No idea why they do it that way.

    Netflix has both skip intro and also shows skip to next episode when credits start playing. I figure the unions for writers and other production crew hate that but they somehow got it in there.

    I'm on Android and web. I don't own TVs. Likely never will so thats a bummer for me I guess.

    I really hope it's not because I wrote badly.

    Disney Plus is so terrible I'm shocked

    I decided to pay so my child could watch some Disney stuff. I'm beyond annoyed. It's unusable. 4K is locked behind TVs for some weird reason. There's no PiP. There's no autoplay next episode. This one shocked me. After each episode, the thing goes back TO THE PROFILE SELECTION SCREEN. The...

    The state of South African IT competence

    A lot to unpack here. First, anyone who is good in "I.T." as you call it, doesn't stay in front line support for very long. They get moved to more critical systems where they'll never deal with customers directly. Next, simple problems are never simple. I recently saw game developers from the...

    Website to display temperature/humidity sensor data

    A CSV file is a nice format to use as a data source for graphs or read as simple data in a table. If you have no web dev experience and use WordPress plugins, it's a couple afternoons. It would take an experienced dev, an afternoon assuming I am setting up everything from scratch. A few hours at...
