    Teslas are stupid, but this Netflix policy is really, really fucking stupid too.

    Their price plans and even the descriptions actively encourage watching on mobile devices ('resolution tiers best suited for / watch across X number of devices') but it has to be inside the perimeter of your home? :cat-confused:

    So you can watch Netflix on all your phones and tablets, but only if you're already at a few feet away from your TV? :cat-confused:

    If you watch Netflix on your phone while your commute or travel like flying, on holiday or while you're staying in a hotel for work, then you're committing fraud. :blob-stop:

    Even the language they use most likely makes it legally unenforceable. They constantly refer to a 'household' (not just in this exchange) when they mean the property, despite the fact that the literal meaning of household is a home and it's occupants even when they're elsewhere. :picard:

    Anyway, Netflix is bad, don't pay for Netflix. If you have to watch a load of Office and TNG reruns just pirate that shit. :party-blob:

      For tng, the blu ray set is pricey but totally worth it. They remastered it from the film negative up. It looks like it was shot last week.

          My hard drive would max out after the first couple discs. Also there's a shitload of bonus features. If you have the disc space, go right ahead and pirate it, if you watch tng a lot anyway, it's good bang for your buck as well.

              Agreed. My practical reasoning aside are binus features/commentaries which are a dying art as well and that it's a physical object and completely understand your control. Every p2p and torrent could easily be wiped out forever even if unlikely so for the stuff I really really like such as Star Trek or Twin Peaks or whatever I just feel better knowing no one can ever tske that from me unless the power grids go down.

              Leas rationally I like physical media and having shelves full of things I like and can glance at the spines of any time and be reminded that I haven't seen something in a minute the way you can't digitally (ahit that's rational) and cause shelves of fun stuff to watch that you get up and pick out irl just has a feel.
