It’s the next sentence

"Right now, the Copyright Office is a part of the Library of Congress, and the head of the office — known as the Register of Copyrights — is appointed by the Librarian of Congress, who, in turn is appointed by the president, and approved by the Senate."

He’s on vacation! He’ll be back next week.

Same as a TV ad — not every kind of advertising is about driving purchases.

Ha. I have an Air and an Air 2, and the laminated display is a really big upgrade for a device that is really all about the screen. But Becky doesn’t care at all, uses the Air all the time.

Ah, you’re right about the fingerprint sensor. Made a tweak!

How is this hating on anything?

Pretty sure Jake writes something about the FCC every single day now!

Our headline doesn’t say "remotely" at all. And we’ll will have a followup explainer soon.

I would just gently encourage you to more closely read this piece, which quotes a number of women from a wide variety of other media outlets talking about the strike and their plans. I also know Wired, Giz, Popular Science, and others all posted about the strike in various ways today as well. So if you’re not seeing it, it might be more related to your media consumption than anything else.

I don’t think a Switch with Netflix goes up against an iPad Pro. But the old iPad 2 your kids use? The obvious upgrade is the Nintendo, not another iPad.

I disagree with that reading, but everyone agrees on no blocking / no locking, which is an equivalent taking under that reading. Do you think consumers should be able to attach any device to Comcast’s network? Or should Comcast fairly be allowed to, say, block WiFi routers it doesn’t certify? Your argument gets murky pretty fast.

I sort of understand that argument if you have a Sonos setup already — this is a simple way to expand a Sonos setup into your living room / TV experience. But if you don’t? There are a million products that are just as simple, cheaper, and more full-featured in this exact form factor.

This is not relevant for Sonos, at least not as this date as they don’t offer any kind of software or speakers that is required to achieve Dolby Atmos.

This is sort of a chicken-and-egg problem, isn’t it? They don’t support it because… they don’t support it. Meanwhile, you can spend the same money and get all that stuff, or way less money and get this feature set in the same form factor.

Chris Welch asked about mics in the Playbase, it has mics for TruePlay, but it doesn’t have the far-field mics it’d need for voice assistants. It was designed ages ago, basically.

As for SonosNet, I know that several of their speakers have N radios, but the Playbase in particular is only listed as 2.4GHz b/g on the website. And my Sonos system definitely runs on G. So… who knows.
