  • Binging with Babish - used to be a fantastic set of recipes and takes on cooking that I really enjoyed trying to make, then got into the serious money and jumped the shark, both in “I bought my brother a Tesla/fulfilled a fan dream” and “this week we’re using this dehydrator” ways (that meant I just wasn’t going to be able to even imagine using the techniques and knowledge on show).



  • So, to go back to the question above, would he be suing the American branch of the BBC which is the US-operating segment (and I suspect doesn’t have billions of dollars) or trying to sue the BBC which doesn’t operate in America (leaving that to the US branch)?

    Or would be be suing, for instance, whatever broadcast service performed the BBC broadcast in the States? (It doesn’t sound like this)










  • For what it’s worth, I subscribe to the “use your TV as a screen, plug another device in to deal with content” method. It’s not connected to the network.

    So, whatever my TV wants to do, I’m not using it’s janky apps that might get slow over time or try to advertise to me - my Nvidia shield (which is on the ropes/way out due to some updates it pushed) CEC wakes the TV and plays content without having any particular insight into my emotional state. But I can replace that relatively easily/cheaply until my screen literally stops working, rather than if some new service isn’t supported on it or an old one is deprecated.

    I’m being tempted to replace the shield with a NUC or other device due to the updates I mentioned above - but I can probably replace the launcher more easily.
