These are mine, but I’ll have more at some point, I’m sure and don’t feel like bookmarking this post, so if anyone wants to make it a general thread for such things, that could be fun. My issues are, in no particular order:

So I can hook my Chromecast up to the HDTV in the waiting room at my auto shop, and the pause button works fine. But on my $1400 HDTV at home? Nope. Thanks, Samsung.

I am so sick of AT&T’s throttling…

Vudu dumped my whole disc-to-digital queue.

So my iPhone just isn’t importing pictures anymore. Not explanation, no reason. It just…isn’t. Great.

OK, and the big one: I’m trying to update the firmware on two of non-Internet connected HDTVs from Samsung via USB. I contacted their customer service, and they sent me this:

Is any of this English?

P.S. I was, at long last, successful in my attempts to get Command and Conquer: The First Decade to run on Windows 10 thanks to a convoluted series of patches which intrepid fans have put together. God bless them. Now, I wonder if they have any for Dune II or Dune 2000…
Why aren’t they on Steam or Origin?

P.P.S. Or the original Doom? Is that on Steam?
