I don’t have an Xbox, but I’m thrilled any time companies add good customizable accessibility options. It’s good for folks who really need it, but also usually good for those of us who just like to customize everything as much as possible. Everybody wins.

    I know you said to avoid the “just don’t connect it” advice, but I frankly think that’s your best bet without shelling out absurd amounts of money. I hate the concept of smart TVs, so like you I tried to find a reasonably priced dumb TV. Had zero luck. Instead, I bought a 55” Hisense TV (U8K) about 6 months ago, and have never once connected it to the internet. I think it’s technically a Google TV, but I wouldn’t know, since I just connect my devices to it, no internet necessary. It’s a gorgeous display with amazing picture quality. All the features are enabled, nothing was stuck behind an internet-wall. I don’t regret it.

    Back in my day, I could do all I needed in Dropbox with a click or two. Now everything is hidden behind multiple menus, obstructed by persistent ads and over-designed interfaces. I will never upgrade, it doesn’t matter how many different ways they try to make it happen. Dropbox used to be simple and no nonsense. It has been shittified for quite some time now.

    Bummer. That’s some weak and feckless megacorp bullshit. Just like something Stewart would cover, which is why this show was such a great power move. And yet? Infinite profit over all else, so never mind.

    Look at John Oliver, he talks shit about HBO constantly. Do they care? Nope, because he has more Emmys than anyone could know what to do with. Respect your talent and reap the rewards. Pretty basic stuff, Apple.

    Mitch is a piece of shit, who has done irreparable harm to America and shares a significant amount of the blame for why the country and its government is in such a horrible place right now.

    BUT I don’t wish him harm, at all. I hope he’s okay, seriously. He needs to retire. Now. And live out the rest of his life in private.
