HBO Max, ostensibly the streaming service with the best library, can’t get its tech together. Last week, Apple TV users began complaining about the app malfunctioning, saying that, following a recent update, the app refuses to rewind, fast-forward, or pause. It’s been days, and the streaming service that would love nothing more than for you to cuddle up and watch The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It still can’t get the devil to fix their platform. Have they considered selling their souls to the dark lord? All signs point to no because it’s still broken (haven’t you been reading).

On Twitter, users in the industry and regular people struggle to get the dang thing to work. Still, it’s nice to see that the rich and powerful have to use the same d-mb streaming services as the rest of us. The market has determined that no one gets special treatment when trying to stream the Snyder Cut.

I know great code shop off shore that will deliver that for 5 cents on the dollar. We should let our coding talent go and use the code shop. Save millions to lose billions . Brilliant equation!

Was that user you? Was it user error?

Supposedly fixed now (with a roll back from the poorly tested version):

Earlier on Tuesday, Andy Forsell, executive vice president and general manager for WarnerMedia’s direct-to-consumer business, confirmed the imminent return of the tvOS native player.

“No excuses from us. Good intentions, bad execution. We'll learn from it,” he tweeted.

Too bad our C Suite can't learn from their bad execution...Instead, they've been doubling down and generously rewarding the people behind the bad execution while executing workers to mask the affects of their financial blunders.

It is APPLE TV USERS

HBO Max on ROKU is a P.O.S. Thank you Stink!

Demand a refund! If you don't see the refund - contact your CC company and demand it - professionally of course.
That's how I handle t from 5h1tt1n on me.
