  1. Fell asleep after 16 innings of the #WorldSeries game last night, figured I’d resume it this morning. #FuboTV stopped recording after 5 hours (12 innings), and #MLBtv just crashed when I tried to watch the official game broadcast in its archive. #YouTube’s 33-minute highlights package saves the day!

  2. Meanwhile, a #Disney deal struck in January to buy a stake in the streaming service #FuboTV fell under scrutiny, too, with several reports that the #DOJ was investigating possible #antitrust violations.

    The #FTC also launched a probe into whether Disney broke rules by gathering #personal #data from #children watching its videos without permission from parents. Disney settled the case earlier this month by paying $10M & agreeing to change its practices.

  3. PS³:

    and @paul reminds me that Disney’s #sports broadcasting monopoly would grow bigger if they bought #FuboTV

    that’s why Senator Elizabeth “we could have had 8 years of her as #POTUS but fucking corporatist democrats rammed through a geriatric corporatist fascist-bootlicking genocide-enabling quisling” Warren has activated her antitrust lasers against Disney:

    just for the sports alone ―including the betting―, Disney needs to be imploded.

  4. Fubo has launched a new "Multiview" feature on select Roku devices in Canada, allowing users to stream up to four live channels simultaneously. This feature is fully customizable and available across all Fubo channels, making it particularly useful for watching sports and news content at the same time.

  5. Almost two weeks in Pacific time, starting with Black Hat and ending with some family time in the Bay Area, should have ended at around 9 p.m. Sunday. But the line of thunderstorms that swept through the D.C. area and shut down ramp operations at Dulles for a chunk of the evening had other ideas, which is why we got a free tour of IAD during a two-hour wait for a gate and why I’m now typing this sentence from baggage claim after midnight Monday.

    8/13/2024: How Hughes Network Systems could bring satellite terminal manufacturing down to Earth, Light Reading

    I visited Hughes’ new factory the day before I flew out to Vegas for Black Hat two weeks ago, then wrote this piece on Monday to include some news about Hughes’ contract to manufacture terminals for the low-Earth-orbit satellite-broadband firm OneWeb that Hughes PR gave me in advance.

    8/13/2024: Patreon to Creators: Sorry, We Have to Let Apple Take a Cut of In-App Support, PCMag

    I could not have written this story the way I did had I not set up shop on Patreon over five years ago and supported other creators on that platform. Some definitions of journalistic ethics would call that being too close to the story, but sometimes there’s no replacement for lived experience in a subject.

    Later that day, I followed up by writing a post for Patreon readers explaining that I was not going to eat Apple’s cut, which meant that they could choose between paying about 43 percent extra (an increase Patreon calculated to ensure that creators would earn the same from a patron regardless of where they signed up) or following my advice to sign up on the Web.

    8/15/2024: Come Out and Play: An Oral History of the HFStival, Washingtonian

    I enjoyed the hell out of revisiting some of my favorite RFK memories with Washingtonian’s Andrew Beaujon over a long phone interview in May. I also enjoyed seeing my one quote from that conversation follow extended testimony from musicians in some of my favorite D.C. indie-rock bands of that era: the Dismemberment Plan, Jawbox, Tuscadero and Velocity Girl.

    8/15/2024: Ep 104 SmartTechCheck Podcast — HEB and Apple Pay, Google news, desktop PC thoughts, BlackHat, Mark Vena

    I joined my industry-analyst friend’s podcast to share my thoughts on Black Hat and to compare notes with fellow tech scribes John Quain and Dwight Silverman.

    8/16/2024: Court: Calif. Child-Safety Bill Turns Businesses Into ‘Censors for the State’, PCMag

    One state’s law about online child safety getting blocked by a federal appeals court might not seem like national news, but California is a very large state and the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act has already inspired similar laws in other states and a bill that passed the Senate last month.

    8/17/2024: Court Stops Disney-Fox-WBD ‘Venu’ Live Sports Service on Antitrust Grounds, PCMag

    Friday gave me a second opportunity to digest a fairly lengthy court ruling and explain it to readers, this time one that halted the rollout of a sports streaming service on antitrust grounds.

  6. #Venu, the Disney–Fox–Warner joint venture for #streaming #sports content, will cost about $43 a month. That’s about half of what I pay for #FuboTV. I’m sold.

  7. Couldn’t make the Fox stream work. So I’m on FUBO on a free trial to watch #copaamerica2024 and the audio is ahead of the stream by several seconds. That’s annoying. #fubotv fix your stream!

  8. @djghettoredneck @nichagan sorry! Been sitting here with the wife. Waiting on my #Vols to play. Mad cause we don’t have PAC-12 Network so Mindy can watch the #Utes play. Thinking of trading #YouTubeTV for #FuboTV. I know, I know…. #FirstWorldProblems

  9. Resuming as I mean to go on: #FuboTV carries 2 different #NBCSports channels, as well as regular #NBC, but one of them is showing the whole #TDF2023. Had to sign up for yet another fucking streaming service to watch this damn bike race. <insert crying child gif here>

  10. TFW you’ve been forced to use the crappy #fuboTV service in Canada in order to be able to watch the English Premier League and there are all kinds of issues with the current service, including a horrible user experience and recurring streaming quality issues, and then you get an email from them bragging about the fact that, starting next season, they’ll be offering… 4K streaming.

    Yeah, I am sure the UX and streaming quality issues will be greatly improved by that.

    I am so NOT renewing.

  11. Good news kinda. I can stream through #fuboTV. It even works on my #GoogleTV ... But I already have another TV provider, #YouTubeTV ... And some of what I want there isn't on #Fubo ... And yes, I know the YouTubeTV vs #MLB issue (and the Hulu same one). But even if they were all friends, local blocking might apply.
