Oh wow! And that reservation makes so much sense under these circumstances. Obviously, we could never consider the possibility of a three-letter TLD for a country or migrating a two-letter TLD to a non country specific name because reasons.

This is about as likely as them buying NXP (who bought Freescale, which used to be Motorola PowerPC)

Options for "iPlayer will stop working on this device" in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

iPlayer isn't an 'open' service- you have to use a supported client, even if that client is a web browser. Your options are limited to platforms that can support those clients. Personally I've found Roku preferable to Chromecast, firestick, full PC. I may at some point have tried to get iPlayer running with Kodi back in the day, when it was XBMC, but XBMC was pretty clunky anyway, let alone on raspberry pi.

Looks like it's too easy to delete. I click on the link and I get a not found exception

So what do they make of people like me who who use Linux on a Mac, with e.g. Colima or Rancher desktop - doing cloud/kubernetes/python development? I moved to a Mac a couple of years ago after 20 years of using Linux as my daily driver because frankly Bluetooth audio on Linux sucks and because I was tired of getting endless different video conference / screensharing solutions working at short notice for interviewing.

Options for non-smart TV in UK 2024? (lemmy.world)

I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here.

In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:

  • 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display
  • 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do
  • 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.

Thanks!

Edit:

Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why:

She should have said - well we tried calling first but were on the phone for quite a while- you said our call was important to you and you were 'experiencing an unusually high volume of calls'...
