【価格.com 新製品ニュース】BMWがブラックアイテムで内外装をドレスアップした「X1」と「X3」の限定車を導入

StarcadeI'm wondering what the processor is in Xfinity's X1 box.
It's SOOOO slow for everything. Is that by design??
Just being in the channel guide and moving among channels, goes at a snail's pace.
I guess I miss Tivo.
Speaking of channel guide, it's weird that you can't customize channels. You can create a favorite list-- Tivo allowed you to remove channels you didn't receive or want. Xfinity displays everything whether you have it or not. To create a favorites of everything you receive, when you have 500 channels, would take forever... especially since the channel guide is so slow. 😐 UGH. Frustration.
I kind of wish someone would buy Tivo and bring it back or sell it to Comcast. Unfortunately, that ship has probably sailed. Not sure they would be interested, even though is MUCH MUCH better.
BMW『X1』に「Edition Shadow」、「sDrive18d」日本初導入…629万円から
https://news.kakaku.com/prdnews/cd=kuruma/ctcd=7010/id=154797/
A few weeks ago I started using Comcast's X1 DVR, as the cablecard in my Tivo failed. What I didn't realize it that cablecard quietly disappeared about 3 years ago. Comcast stopped billing me for having one, something I also didn't realize. I had told myself that once my Tivo stopped working I would switch to Comcast's DVR. By the way, Tivo went out of business last October.
Comcast's DVR is functional, but inferior in just about everything it does compared to Tivo.
Skipping commercials is a fast forward on the X1, while on the Tivo it was a simple button press and it would instantly jump to the end of the last commercial. You never saw the commercials. In retrospect, I think this is why I hardly ever saw ads for movies on TV, as I skipped watching most commercials. It's only when watching live, which is rare, and probably only for news or sporting events, do I ever see commercials.
Tivo must have have some patents that Comcast can't use.
Virtual Alien / Old NickThe Story of Heaven and Hell (The Making of a ballet).
The ballet is itself an apogee of the art but a reflection on British society, selfish and desperate that is driving many to become outcasts without safety net and completely ignored by the political mainstream that is shaping society.

Sal RahmanSo, I've been playing around with a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition for a bit.
Overall, I feel almost right at home with the X1 Carbon.
I wished I could highlight all the good things, about it, but frankly, it's mostly neck-in-neck with the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro.
That said, I may as well list out things that either laptops have missing.
What X1 Carbon doesn't have.
- Long battery life
- HDR display
- Smudge-resistant exterior
- Ability to dev for the Apple ecosystem
- Good speakers
Things that the MacBook doesn't have:
- Touch screen
- Screen real estate at the top (it's been replaced by a notch)
- Insanely lightweight (X1 Carbon is less than a kilogram in weight)
- screen folds out 180 degrees
