They were referring to Pyrex when talking about "shoddy replacements", not Instant Pot (although they didn't specify this in their comment, so confusion is very understandable).

Netflix also (I think briefly) offered DVD rental in UK, competing with LoveFilm. LoveFilm did continue for a while after the Amazon acquisition, both as DVD rental and with streaming added (LoveFilm Instant, if I remember correctly), which

Yep for sure. Was just a response of simple things they could do, if they cared. Obviously nothing they won't have thought of themselves, was really just pointing out that it's not the case that there's nothing that can b

Couple of fairly simple things they could do to at least help somewhat: * Put reviews for current listing at the top of the reviews (currently default sort seems to be a vague "Top reviews", but can be changed to "most recent

In fairness, it appears they're only mentioning taxes in the context of comparing to other countries' minimum wage - if Google wasn't displaying the other countries minimum wages, there'd be no reason to factor in taxes

Specifically if you watch live broadcasts on YouTube or Amazon Prime (in the case of Prime, I believe that's mainly sports events). Watching regular YouTube videos or movies/shows on Prime does not require a TV license.

Difference between a car & a dishwasher is that a car is typically outside (at least during use) which would help it to get a signal. Anecdotally inside my house, phones generally get no/weak cell service but WiFi is accessible any

Yep, exactly same in app on regular Rokus - I was referring to the fact that the on-screen "Skip" is a relatively recent addition (at least on my Roku, Roku Express)

"instantly skippable" depends on device I think. For a long time, there was no "Skip" button in the Roku app, you could only manually forward through it. It has now been added, but very possible there are apps on other d

Sure, but how do I know if I can trust a random community I found via Google or on Reddit? At least with ads (on a platform like Facebook), it's obvious they're ads and what their incentive is. With a random community, it may be u
