getting a cut of Netflix's money. And it's not really even necessarily about them getting more of your attention. I really think to my eyes, having everything bubble up into the Apple TV app is to just make a unified, better experience in the same way that the Apple TV hardware to me is a better experience. Again,

With the caveat that I completely concur with you, John, that the Apple TV app is a dumpster fire. But if we take it, if we can put that large caveat aside and take it and go with the assumption that the Apple TV app is at least serviceable for most people, then I don't feel like Apple's trying to take a cut of Netflix's money or of time.

All fair. But what I'm driving at is from my perspective, and I have been quick to point as all three of us, I think I've been quick to point out a lot of ways where we think Apple's making really BS decisions these days. This smells to me like they're just trying to do right by their users.

They want their users to have one place to go that will be omnivorous and slurp up all their, you know, watch habits and whatnot. And hopefully not in a, you know, data Vendy gross way, because this is Apple and, And they'll just present, you know, here's what you were watching and here's what the next thing is, which again, John, I agree with you that the app sucks.

But leaving that aside, I think the motivation is pure. And whereas I feel like Netflix is just like, meh, we're too cool. We're too good for that. We don't need you. And the motivation is not pure on Netflix's side. And that's what makes me feel like it's gross.

So I have some news that I know the two of you have been waiting with bated breath. I have yet another update about my status board. I am confident that you are so very excited for this. But no, I was a very kind listener. Chris R. was kind enough to send me

I had thought I was going to put this, like, make a bespoke solution in a decommissioned RJ11 outlet, and the historical commission, otherwise known as Aaron, said, yeah, I don't think that's going to fly. And so then I went back to the drawing board, and I hadn't really come up with any good answers.

And a bunch of listeners had suggested Inovelli, if I recall correctly, switches, which are similar to what I'm talking about, but basically, in addition to just a standard paddle switch, the Inovelli has, like, a single diffused switch or a single diffuser with several LEDs behind it.
