@sigjudge As a PM for a streaming service I can tell you the battle to "just do it native!" is never ending. It's always one "cool" idea or biz dev deal away from ending up custom.

@sulka @rmondello Would like to know how passkeys will work when IT makes us change our passwords every 90 days for no benefit. New passkeys every 90 days?

[David Raso @raso]

@jaydici @cbcgem @Xbox Yup. https://t.co/GnTfZ9GoRm

@julian_dunn I’d be more afraid of making a simple speelling mistake.

@Robert_Hughes13 @Devin_Heroux @CBCOlympics @cbcsports You Betcha. https://t.co/lPTz26v7Cj

@blakecrosby You should get a proper Geo error. That may be the stream had ended but still in the CMS cache as live or a “Code 18” when setting up/stoping the stream.

@mathladyca @Devin_Heroux The CBC Gem name & brand launched in 2018, however the service (under the CBC TV name) has been around since 2011 with most of the current experience launching in 2016.

@Mark_Lennox @cbcgem @NVIDIASHIELD @CBC Try using the select button when fast forwarding. We identified a bug where if you use the play/pause button it will sometimes cancels the fwd action. Sorry about that.

@daringfireball Could Apple open Apple Pay for IAP use? The user would be able to pick their iTunes account or a CC in their Wallet. It’s safer then entering CC into random app. Developer gets to use thier own supporting Payment Gateway. Apple collects its commission via the card network.

@trumanboyes I have a file folder labeled “HTML Bible” with web page print outs explaining how to do all the cutting edge techniques such as image rollovers, figures, image maps and left hand nav bars (cnet circa 1996)

@googlenesthelp Lowes or Home Depot in Canada in 2015.

I misplaced the mounting plate for a Nest Protect smoke alarm and was told by @googlenesthelp to "go buy a new Nest Protect". So e-waste a perfectly good device because of a missing chunk of plastic.

@julian_dunn No but it was very uncomfortable to hold. I’m just distracting you for long enough that your mouse is probably at 50% now.

@SamuelPolay I think the addition of ARC support to the Apple TV plays right into your idea from last year that Apple should make a HomePod Soundbar. Seems super niche to get return audio from the TV to HomePod minis. More appropriate for a soundbar/atv combo to need ARC.

@julian_dunn @hypatiadotca @CBC Yup. I think it had all started as a joke. We wanted to overhaul and modernize the entire site (circa ‘06/7). We broke up the work to make it manageable. Someone joked “it’s ver 1.5” once a PM heard that we couldn’t shake it.

[David Raso @raso]

@Marcelgeeee @cbcgem It does make us feel bad, what problems are you experiencing?

[David Raso @raso]

@kmlucyb @cbcgem Should be good now. Sorry about that.

[David Raso @raso]

@Altavistagoogle On the FireTV make sure you have the newest version of Gem (v 9.61) to access all of the Olympics.

[David Raso @raso]

@JockCartier @Tadieboy @cbcgem For FireTV make sure you have the latest version of the app (v 9.61). Then you can select Tokyo 2020 Graphic
