  3. Netflix on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 1

    I bought a smart tv for netflix, and the odd youtube video. It's nice to only have one remote. If they start fucking with it I'll go back to dumb TV with Android box and maybe chromecast too.

    I just had a bunch of revenue stolen on my youtube videos. The copyright claim was based on my audio, but the audio I was using was youtube's own free music. The system is out of hand. I would have complained but the link doesn't work. For videos, ALWAYS put on a watermark to help prove your ownership.

  17. This is happening with my air, and I haven't upgraded to El captain yet. I'm guessing it's a recent security update or something. Sometimes the cursor slows to a craw, then it freezes
