Its just them being cheap. They probably set every one to a max of 720p, hope most people do not realise (cutting down bandwidth costs) and let them set max quality themselves.


They just need to look at their stock price vs NFLX to realize that people do indeed realize the difference across the stack.


Netflix has been most popular for a bunch of other rather obvious reasons.


On Roku (actual box not integrated) Peacock has been good quality. Definitely hits 1080P with a decent bitrate. I suspect the software teams only have the bandwidth to focus on a few of the more popular devices (so probably Roku and Apple TV boxes) and others suffer


ill buy em for ya mate, get them posted from Australia, It will just cost you $500 in postage fees.


Let's do it via New Zealand, it's $600 plus you wait about 6 months.


Can i has a stick


Where did you get this from? You know how passwords are matched right?


Agreed, I have seen some sites check the email used and link the account instead of creating a new one. I much prefer this.


only works with email validation. Sadly some providers don’t do this (not even Microsoft azure ad in some cases…)


Some OAuth users, e.g. from Facebook, don't even have an email address associated with the account. Just a phone number.


Security breach: For a target with a Gmail account, create an account on an unsecured OAuth provider, login to such sites with the unsecured email, access their data because it allows auth with any OAuth provider.


Easily preventable. Ask the user to supply a credential before linking the accounts or only allow account linking if the email is verified at the idp (as someone else noted this is not possible for all idps but for google it is)


Do any sites allow login from any OAuth provider? How would that even work? Providers need client IDs and client secrets.


The intent was probably "multiple", not "any".


On one hand I like that feature – on the other hand it somewhat terrifies me, since it essentially delegates email verification to any of their accepted OAuth providers, unless they make you re-authenticate using your existing credentials, or redo email verification, upon linking the accounts. And not nearly all sites do.


Id rather hire a senior dev as a reviewer and a mid dev as the coder at a company. pay the reviewer more since they will be dealing with shit practices and having to train the dev.


From what I remember, They really wanted to find a way to do this without introducing organisms from earth. - e.g. drilling into the ice and the probe itself.


I wonder if it could be they are logging and not clearing the logs, filling up the storage - since its happening around the same time for everyone.


Maybe not filling up but wearing out the flash chip itself. If it was filling up, then a factory reset should've helped.


Why not just use epoch? render it however you like. - Posted at 1724222105


I prefer human readable datetime for debugging, because there are a lot of programs which have timings and timeouts for certain operations. Being able to quickly observe that a timeout happened in 500 ms instead of 1.5s would be interesting, epoch does not show you this information.

Similar with quickly jumping to a certain day.

1724222105000 and 1724222105.000000 are common forms that solve that problem.


Why would you use this on the frontend? anything that requires auth tokens should never be used on the front end, You would be using this on your own server


Totally agree. I understand his point but can’t do much unless I implement some very complex stuff specifically for mobile (and I’m not even sure it would work safely)
