Interpreting “I live in America” as a continental reference makes you the exception in my experience. If I lived in one of those other countries on either American continent, I likely would have said the name of the country instead of the name of the continent (let alone without specifying which one).

Honestly fully expect you’re trolling, but I’ll play nice nonetheless.

Sorry, I thought most everyone assumed “America” equated to the (supposedly) “United States of America” (which is the answer to your question) unless specified otherwise.

I was gonna make a pun about Steam, the game store, but yours is better. My hat’s off to you for a great response.

I’m an American living in America, and I most certainly don’t belong here anymore - nor do I want to belong to what it has become.

I see you, “Harry Vanderspeigle.”

Competition.

There might not be a need to ditch them if they weren’t so locked down & consumables like batteries needlessly difficult to replace. We’re not ditching the phones “every five months,” either, but the battery life is still forcing retirement much earlier than necessary even without the software support issue.

“Crap! Another asshole who stuffs his pants.”

Smacks of “don’t dead open inside.”

Slow that mind child

Run a personal VPN server at the home address and have external users route through it. I’d think it’d work for any subscription service doing this crap. I’m surprised nobody has started selling a turnkey self-hosted VPN device that even a non-techie can get running in a few steps - all the end users would need is an app that does split tunneling for the media players.
