Not sure about VLC, but I’ve a Plex server locally and Apple TV app works fine for streaming from the server.

Biggest wins for me when recently switching from a Firestick to an Apple TV is how much faster it’s been to use and the lack of crud.

Seems the Firestick has some heavy subsidises they make up for with activities like this post.

> not understanding how technology works when it's so central to our everyday lives just seems baffling

I don’t know. I appreciate the sentiment and would also like more tech literacy, but there are lots of areas central to our lives and I think it’s unrealistic to expect a good understand across it all.

I think it’s on us to be able to adequately communicate and understand the needs of those that ask us for help.

Just as you would want a doctor to explain what your condition is in a way you would understand.

Having buildings to live in is pretty central to most of our lives too, and we have some knowledge and intuition of what looks safe and can be used, but most of us leave the engineering to someone more in the know.

Farming too, I rather people in the industry work on maximising yield to feed us all with tools made and tailored for them.

I think when people go to the quickest solutions for them in tech (i.e. Ms 365, Spotify, John Deere, ABC MRI Scanner etc), I’d rather have them focused on the details of their trade than learning how to use a terminal, jailbreak a tractor or replace a magnet in an MRI scanner.

Those that want to, great, but I think most don’t have the time or interest to take on that kind of deeper learning.

Which AirPlay to Google Cast bridge are you using? Thanks

Don’t just look at the photos. Read the commentary. Adds an extra level of awe.

I think that is kind of the point. If the company can’t take enough revenue to pay its way fairly, then the UK Supreme Court has, in effect, ruled it’s not a business for the UK.

Overly simplified solution: Raise prices to cover a decent wage.

Looking at the network requests when you hit that button it seems to be hitting a lot of tracking providers opt out API endpoints. Which is good I suppose, though better not to even include their scripts until you agree to it
