I guess the argument is if your TV is going to come preloaded with subscription crap to provide easier access, then taxpayer funded "local" content should be just as easy to access. I think it's a fair decision to have ABC iView, maybe SBS. God, can you imagine SkyNews coming preinstalled. Ugh.

The government has announced plans to regulate smart TV home screens: what the new rules mean for yo
Aww. I liked the free batteries.
Well Doom 2016 at least. Doom Eternal fucked over Mick Gordon and DLCfyied the game. The cracks are forming.
I don't see the big deal. If the big American media companies get to have their apps preinstalled then I don't see why local channels shouldn't get the same treatment.
My bias is I would never connect my TV to the internet anyway.
You aren't dynamically changing configs, libraries and programs on a production server like you are on a user facing system. That the killer. Linux servers are only stable when you leave them alone.
Updates to servers are generally done by beta testing them on identical hardware in the lab and when you have a functioning image you send that to production. To expect that kind of treatment on a user facing system when you say update the web browser would be beyond unacceptable.
As long as GNU/Linux systems continue to have ABI compatibility issues and general buggy issues between updates, it will never be considered a decent user facing system.
Also the quality of code for CLI programs is far more roadtested than GUI related code since there are major corporate efforts to make Linux servers more stable. Since GUI systems aren't needed for servers they don't get the same level of attention. That attention comes from the KDE and gnome foundations which don't have nearly the same kind of money.
There's a reason people are celebrating Valve contributing to KDE and related GUI projects as there's finally some real money being thrown at the problem with real results.
They made or were involved in Alien Isolation 2013.
I'd argue new AAA games are more annoying to buy.
The one modern-ish game I bought was Max Payne 3 and oh my god the fucking rockstar launcher. It needs to run in the background, it needs constant forced updates for nothing (i have very slow aussie internet) and it runs like shit. Not to mention the launcher bugged out and I lost my save half way through due to some cloud shit bug.
After buying like 300 games on steam It's first game that triggered the thought, I actually regret buying this game through official channels. The paid experience is genuinely worse than the pirate copy.
Oh wow. This reads like an onion headline.
I've seen another video like this on a machine being decommissioned. It's likely that was the case with this machine as well.
Doesn't this mean all text message traffic will flow through the control of Google servers?
I don't know anything about how RCS works aside from a couple of comments talking about the Google servers problem.
openAI anyone?
Is this limited to ABC iView and maybe SBS? I hope it doesn't include the others. God, can you imagine SkyNews coming preinstalled. Ugh.
