Pardon the language but The DMAN is fed up. Just recently lost the remote to a lovely Vizio brand Smart TV. The problem is that TV is not so "smart" when the remote is not in the equation. The television has 1 single button on it. Power. No volume buttons, no Menu buttons, no channel buttons, No directional buttons to select in the Menu. There is no Menu button. There can be only one. POWER... How fucking stupid is this?

The DMAN is not proud to tell you how upset he was when they stopped including the microphone jack on laptops. And then they came for the headphone jacks on laptops, and I said nothing. And then they came for the headphone jacks on smart phones. Do You Remembah when the first bluetooth came out? They looked like zombie retards walking around babbling to themselves.

"Bluetooth" is Green Shit. I hate the fact that I can't pair multiple audio devices all at once. You have to keep Un-Pairing and Re-Pairing (repairing apple & samsung's mistakes) Constantly unpair the computer and phone back and forth. It would be faster to plug in an aux cable. THIS is the convenience of the future? It just conveniently radiates your body cooking it with piping hot cancer beams.

Got a Roku stick. Yes, it's 10 years old. Why does that mean every App is suddenly incompatible with a device that was JUST working? Nothing has changed. Other than 4K options, which are unnecessary. Same thing happened with Spotify when The DMAN attempted to repurpose an old iPhone as his personal Spotify machine. It won't download the Spotify app. There are still VCRs that work. And a phone from 2013 is basically an obsolete, eletronic brick, taking up space.

Streaming is a garbage way to watch a movie. The quality will rise and dip randomly and drop frames. The DMAN abandoned Roku and got a Chromecast. The menu runs faster, popped on The Godfather on a streaming app. It looked like shit. Grainy, terrible low light editing, blurry image. The audio quality sounded Mono and obviously mixed from the 1970s.

Switched it out with a DVD player with a physical copy of The Godfather, the picture quality was excellent, deep noir black scenes, was actually interested in it even more just visually. Sharper image, smoother movement. ON A DVD. It's unbelievable people abandoned owning movies in favor of paying a premium monthly fee for a VIRTUAL list of select things that can be taken off at any moment depending on contractual obligations.

SIRI IS FUCKING USELESS. It can't answer basic shit. It can't change the volume when playing music, in fact talking to SIRI stops my music and can't restart it. The volume goes down and never comes back up. The DMAN is going to hang up and listen to your answer.

With the weekly windows 10 updates, I've had to have my OS reinstalled TWICE due to compatibility issues. Now, $200 geek squad dollars later, I've eliminated that mess but I get this pop-up scam, when I take the computer out of sleep mode, that has a window that won't close and audio of some limey twunt telling me that my computer's been infected by a virus from a malicious porn site and that I need to call the number on the screen because all of my personal info including Passwords for banking, social media sites, credit cards, etc... etc... have been compromised.

Most asshats would shit themselves hearing this blaring from their computer speakers, as the very official looking screen blinks an 1-888 number and implores you to call it to work with their "windows professionals" to eliminate this infection.

If this happens to you, do the following:

Hold Control, alt, delete simultaneously.

Choose "task manager" from the resulting menu, and close your browser.

It disappears. I'm not sure if it'll happen again, but for Christ's sake... DON'T call the number and play ball with these mongrel terrorists. The only infection your computer has is some fucker slipped in that pop up in the form of a familiar email with a link you (and I) mistakenly clicked.

Go to "remove program" in your control panel and look for one of these. Delete it, problem solved. THANKS FOR YOUR USELESS SECURITY UPDATES WINDOWS 10!!!!!!

I've strained friendships over this point. It's ridiculous. Do you remembah the headphone listening stations from school? I bet you do. Eight or ten kids could listen to the same thing at the same time, and even a kindergarten teacher could figure it out. Rock out to "The Muffin Man" with seven other little shits, lil juicebox action (just a taste), drop a hammer, nap, then go home. Good fawkin times.
Fast forward 35 years and some egghead can't figure out a bluetooth splitter? It boggles and befuddles. The future sucks.
Edit to add, this is what I'm talking about:

what kind of cheap bluetooth headphones have you been using? Bluetooth Multipoint has existed forever, my 10 years old bluetooth headset can connect/play music/take calls on multi devices at the same time, nowadays its not guaranteed since they are so cheap. i assume you are not using Airpods/iphone/macs since they can switch seamlessly between your phone and laptop. you went cheap and didnt do your homework brotherman

How about new TV's artificial motion smoothing (interpolation:image_9247:) defaulted to 'on' so a movie looks like it was filmed on an iPhone.

Trendy queers love mocking tech older than fifteen minutes but well done 4k/HDR Blu Ray's look much better than 4K streaming. It's still enough reason to own a decent Jew Ray player, especially if you've got a quality multichannel receiver & good speakers. I still have a working VCR on my a/v rack & one thing not clouded by nostalgia is how goddamn noisy they are. Rewinding sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but I appreciate how mechanically complex & autistic tape machines were to use. It removed women & retards from the equation. VHS was boomer technology yet no one's mother could set one up to record Jeopardy without help.

The average retards relationship with audio has declined outside niche hobbyists. From tank-like 70s hi-fi to Chinese mid-fi in 90s to "home theater in a box" plastic cube speakers in 2000s to slaying your child for a big plastic stick with a few paper cones in it. Nice progression, stupid.

You've said it all

Seriously though, this is shit that plagues me constantly as well and I yearn
for justice. DVDs are still great: work right away, always, without charging you for bandwidth and you get BONUS FEATURES. Remember those? That's 60% of the reason for buying the shits.

Streaming music sucks ass too. Fuck all this shit, people should die.
