It sounds like an older version of the app. I used to see all kinds of similar issues with Peacock on my Apple 4k device. NBC has put work in to make the app better over the years unlike say, Paramount+. I would check to see if you can manually update the app or try the 4k device and see if it works better. It could be the older chip and more limited memory of the HD device are hitting up against their limits too.

There is always another house for less. You will almost certainly have to sacrifice on something (size, location, condition) in order to find that lower price but you can get there if price isn’t flexible.

Does no one remember “drive til you qualify”?


You can go on sites like Zillow and see what homes sold for. It doesn’t even require navigating a potentially obscure county web site.

I have a pair of Bose QC35s and a set of AirPod Pros. More often than not, for a late night YouTube binge in bed, I’m reaching for the QC35s.

I think this is true of much of the traditional high school English curriculum. I was way ahead of most of my peers and still far too great an idiot to fully appreciate the novels we read. I have reread some of those classics as an adult and should probably read more of them.

i feel like this about literally every book I re-read a decade later.

She could had gotten everything she wanted if she only understood that blowing smoke up Trump's ass isn't good enough anymore. He demands bribes as well.

If $1-6 million buys a pardon, how much buys a country?


You ever see The Accountant? That scene where he goes home and ups the stimulation to 13/10? I live my life in that world. Good luck getting any useful intel from my phone's microphone.

My wife worked in a facility that didn't allow phone cameras. You had to check it in anytime you went into one of the secure areas or prove you had one of their phones that had the camera disabled if you were important enough to require being contactable. While I'm sure one or more of the thousands of employees managed to leak some valuable info through conversations, pictures would have been worth 1000x as much if not more.

It's my understanding that personal hotspot can only utilize the cellular connection for the internet side since the wifi connection is being used to connect clientside. If one is hoping to use hotel wifi rather than their cellular plan data, Apple's solution won't work.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this however.


I did the same thing recently while visiting family in SE Asia. I wanted to watch my team's bowl game but American college football is unknown in that part of the world. A Wireguard connection back to my home router gave me the ESPN access I pay for in the US.

A few services didn't work because they required my mobile device's location services (which still showed my in Asia). I'm sure I could have found a workaround for that but wasn't properly motivated to put in the effort for a short visit.

In a similar vein, I was able to troubleshoot a problem with our NAS from a cellular connection on a boat near Bali a couple years ago. My son needed access to some files for his college homework but couldn't access it remotely. I was able to access it and reconfigure a setting that had changed during an update and restore his access.

The internet feels like magic sometimes.
