Gather ‘round kids, time for a story. The year was 2003, and TiVo had defined the category of DVRs and instantly become indispensable. People loved that they could fast-forward through commercials, much to the chagrin of networks and advertisers.
But a new competitor entered the scene: ReplayTV, a product that did everything TiVo did with one major added benefit: it automatically detected and skipped commercials without having to press a button. It was glorious. So naturally, like all things which improve the life of a consumer, the powers-that-be took umbrage. Funded by TiVo lobbying, the FCC decided that not having to press a button on a remote was a bridge too far. ReplayTV was crushed by a heavy fine and ban, relegating them to the tech scrap heap. Thus TiVo maintained their position as market leader, despite having an inferior experience.
All this to say: fuck you TiVo, you wasted your brand clout and position by getting into bed with the same lawmakers who fomented your demise when the HD era was legislated to ban commercial-skipping mechanisms.


Ah, looks like you’re following ’murica’s lead. Don’t worry, it gets worse!
I’m so glad I don’t waste my money on that shit


Your Walmart only has two carts like that!? The one near me (which I refuse to go into) looks like a shopping cart battlefield.
Walmart is the physical manifestation of not returning a shopping cart.


Having spent a decent amount of time in Germany (but not integrating into society): what about it is shit? From an outsider’s perspective, you guys seem to have it mostly together. Sure AfD exists, a percentage of the population will always be trash. But social services are there, mass transit is acceptable, and the economy is probably the strongest in Europe.


Same goes for getting over other fears. That huge roller coaster is a feat of engineering and thousands upon thousands of people before you rode it just fine. Going to that strange country is easy; so many people live there just fine.


And you thought you could just stab your problems away?


His autobiography was amazing. What a life.

All he needed was a friend 😭


I just think it’s a hilarious illustration of how dumb trump is and use it to remind people of that.


They used to refuse access to people’s private when the govt/law enforcement requested it unnecessarily. They are supposed to be the customer-centric company who doesn’t have government contracts. Steve famously contributed to progressive causes.


Well my point is, they could use this as a battle line against the fascists. Help galvanize support against them by showing us that they aren’t putting up with his shit.

“Ooh I want that!”


Good point. Sigh.
