After 25 years, Netflix will be shutting down its DVD rental service this September

Jump

  • I used to use it in college! we rented probably 1 movie every 1 or 2 months ever, idk if it was even worth the subscription price, but it was a lot of fun. I think they already had the streaming service then, so I was using it for that too maybe? Not too sure tbh, but I def remember using it for dvd rentals.

    And yeah it was so so so convenient, the envelope was its own return envelope because it was sticky in 2 places and opened super easily. I remember being really impressed by the engineering/design.

  • no kidding, that's the kind of thing that after the first few times it happens, someone from product should flag this and build in a system with redundant checks if you want to send mail to .ml, like:

    1. The user has to have permission to send to .ml in the first place
    2. Any individual .ml address they want to send to has to be whitelisted in a separate UI from email compose (possibly excluding replies)
    3. Any time they send to .ml (or any external domain), the recipient box turns a different color, and there's a notice, CURRENTLY SENDING TO AN EXTERNAL DOMAIN
      • with a list of all external domains included eg you could also be sending to a contractor
      • and a count of the domains
    4. Any .ml sent mail is auto delayed by a couple minutes and requires you to confirm you wanted to send it (again possibly excluding replies)

    I would hope there's also some flags emails can have for whatever sensitive info levels, these should also come with automatic client-side and server-side validation that you're not sending them to someone who you shouldn't.

  • I use SwiftKey too. I find the suggestions are atrociously bad though. Do you swipe to type or press buttons?

  • About a decade too young for this, but - the only one of these I had was a dvd burner. I used it in high school to make video projects. Video projects were extremely popular assignments, and I had a lot of fun with them, too. I did a lot of stop-motion animation, claymation, etc. I had shitty software that I didn't even know how to use properly so I did things like play music from my ipod into the camera speaker instead of mix an audio track in "post." Haha. Was a lot of fun though.
