Wouldn't worry about it. It'll be too blurry to watch and forget where you were up to /s.

Then it will stop working and by the time you have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and logged in, it will be over.

Seems to be a common theme when you get traditional broadcasters do things.

Me: Why is ABC iView still 720p in 2026?

Friend: Because they can't be seen to be spending money on anything useful.

They have invested millions in gear that achieves the same thing a twitch streamer can do on a PC, but with a rigid and inflexible framerate and resolution. Give them a break, they have to get those kickbacks from the companies selling them a $30k video encoder that somehow is better than what you can do in OBS despite the output result looking worse.

The trader Smartfox was a drop shipper. They now claim that their stock is all local, but I wonder why their heavier items often have outrageous prices.

Wow. Just wow. I don't know if I feel sorry for anyone who purchases it or surprised that they are willing to pay nearly three times the cost per can from a supermarket.

Items on TradeMe are always a bargain, right?

For some reason some people will pay stupid prices for stuff on TradeMe

Maybe the empty space in the shipping carton is filled with the spirit bottle of your choice. But of course TradeMe wouldn’t allow that 😁
