rodders0223 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 'I no longer want this band to work, I need it to work' Heard this advert for the town on Spotify approaching 100 times now. I wouldn't mind, I've watched the show. There's got to be a better way, just send me new adverts please if I ain't paying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Live stream TV on any platform being a minute or so behind. Ruined the Coventry v Manure penalty shootout for me yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (Meta I assume) decided to make the first letter of online, typing or last a capital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 22 Moderator Share Posted April 22 Surely capitals is actually better as they are either titles or the start of a sentence, it’s the lack of capitals that would bother me if I spent a nanosecond thinking about it but as it’s WhatsApp, it’s something I only ever use to respond to people so I doubt I'd ever have noticed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted April 22 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22 I had a thing where Swiftkey used to capitalise the word 'internet' every time. It irritated me so much that I sent a bug report; they actually got back to me and looked into it. They were baffled. Never got to the bottom of it. Have since binned Swiftkey as the swiping experience just got worse and worse and became unusable over time. Now using Gboard. OK I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've multiplied like gremlins since the pandemic. Feels as though most of them aren't needed and are just done as an excuse to get people into offices. Fortunately my place has gone the opposite way. Meetings still happen, but more and more they're done over Teams and take half as long. It's a big relief.

Surely we have the technology for legitimate streams like iPlayer and Amazon to be actually live. Or at least very nearly live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are delays all over the place. With live football, there is probably someone there monitoring the feed and muting microphones getting knocked over for example.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can play Fifa or COD and have my actions repeated on someone else’s TV on the other side of the world in a fraction of a second, but football streams still lag by 2 or 3 minutes. I am also surprised this delay still exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could a steaming service such as iPlayer not been in time (or at least close to) in time with the TV broadcast? Is the issue with streaming itself?
