I was a subscriber and stopped simply because they have ads in the app. I could look past the slowness of the app than what a webpage could deliver but ads in articles for paid subscribers? Cancelled it.

Instead of Show HN, it should be Show HN Progress.

And the comments should start with the day/month the project was first launched.

All the models do that. If you tell them to keep it short and to the point, they oblige.

The irk for smart tvs comes from that fact that they show ads and slow down overtime.

With Apple TV, you can nip that in the bud. Yes, Apple TV has its own quirks but it’s nowhere near as hostile as built in “functionality” that these tvs try to provide.

And not say that streaming services have every incentive to keep the Apple TV apps improving compared to the tv app itself.

It’s just an overall better experience.

0.32mm Pilot G2s are my favorite. I usually buy the green, black, blue, and red in packs of 10.

They are a pleasure to write with. They are more prone to the bullhead not functioning if dropped but overtime these pens have taught me to take care of my pens. Now I can actually get the pens depleted all way.

They also expire after a person dies. The burden shouldn’t be on the user but on the company.

If you are American in the living room, what are you in the bathroom? you're-a-peein....

Here’s a kicker: once canceled, your card stays on file. But there’s no way to access that credit card management page anymore because you’ve canceled the subscription. How can you get back to the credit card management page? By signing up for the subscription again. Can you remove the credit card from file at this point? Nope!!

That’s right. They have your credit card forever if you put it in once.

I disagree. It was the easiest ease of mind purchase I've ever made. They tell showed me what it covers, what it can cover with add-ons and the price updated in a click. I had to talk to no one. It started the next day with the contract sitting for me in my email.

I don't think they could've done a better job solving a problem through software (an app).

I tried cancelling it to make sure it will be easy. The steps seem super easy and straight forward all the way up to the confirm option.

They did remove a predatory practice which should help the content creators. The monetary incentive to block is gone.

I don’t think that’s what it does.

When you redownload a now-deleted-preloaded app, it actually downloads it. You can see the progression in the App Store. Which makes me think that Apple actually removes the App package from the phone.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

A very large population can’t install their own firmwares because they don’t have the chops to do so.

On top of that, not everybody has a CS degree to read and go through source code of these custom firmware to make sure they aren’t doing anything funny.

You can remove most of the non-essential apps like Music, iTunes Store, Maps, News.

I consider Photos and essential app to the phone. But the push to iCloud could be annoying (I haven’t experienced it because I already have it). If I remember correctly, android phones come with a Gallery App for Photos and then additionally Google Photos. This was a few years ago, I’m not sure if it has changed. Whereas iPhones come with Photos and the iCloud functionality built in.
