Finding a message on Netflix when tuning in to watch live Baseball that says your subscription now supports Adds in Live sport and a box that says got it , to tick. not even a choice

Common sense is not as common as you think.

gzt: Oh where did you set the DNS? That was inspired..

Standard Windows control panel.

I've been thinking about this for some time: What I need is a tool that when you query uniquecode.fancydomaintool.com, the tool reports back something like w.x.y.z.fancydomaintool.com who it hears your query from.

Should make my own DNS server, then I could do silly things like the above but also IP over DNS

It's persisting down with rain out there. Let's all remember to use our headlights when we're driving.

Damn, another iPhone, same fault, can’t get past the same error. Even tried Linux.

Have you tried setting the dns on the device even though that should make no logical difference? or/and provisioning setup to do that I have no clue how.

Factory restore between owners. That action made both phones prompt for "support.apple.come/iphone/restore"

The latest round of YouTube ads for me is various rust removers. Some of the show rust removal from aluminium and magnesium parts lol. If any actually worked on steel that easily I'd have uses for it.

and the door dash ding dong ad.

It's worse now I've made the decision to resubscribe and am delaying to reorg some accounts first. Uh.. just made up my mind gonna resubscribe immediately... can't.. take.. it..

I subscribe to YouTube Premium only to to avoid Ads. For creators that I subscribe to that have Patreon etc I also support them.

We got rid of Amazon Prime this year after about a decade of paying $25 or whatever it was when they introduced mandatory ads at the start.

Yeah the YouTube Music is kind of a bonus. That does have high rate since I cancelled so that will be interesting. Not as good as Tidal apparently. Anyway, with the family sub it will get used.

That has irritated me a lot and Disney has done similar, but Amazon really needs the ad revenues with a meagre profit of US$77.67 billion and revenue of US$716.9 billion

I also read today that Netflix has increased its subs in the US for the second time this year so I guess our subs will go up.

So does Apple, apparently. Ads coming to iPhones in the US shortly. We get a bit of a reprieve over here but I'm sure they'll sign up local advertisers soon enough...

Opt out of windows backup - yes
Windows backup is recommended
Five minutes later..
Turn on windows backup, no thanks.
Repeat..

The correct user UI sequence to turn all that off escapes me
