I want the calendar agenda flyout back on my taskbar

I'm pretty new to all this, I just got a smart light and hub, etc. With the idea of using voice commands on my iphone/ipad.

But I was really disappointed to find out that I can't voice activate the command "living room light on", because as soon as Siri hears this, it responds "oh you havent setup a homekit device".

ExpressVPN is the only one I've got working with iplayer, thus far. There used to be 'tvcatchup', but that got nerfed then killed. I haven't found anything else since.

The internet, as experienced by most humans today, primarily consists of ads, sponsored content, propaganda and spin. I don't really see how it's contributing to our development in a constructive manner.

Might have been more apt if they'd written "recognised", instead.

In this case they used the dashes for dramatic effect. It's sometimes used to mimic spoken English, in that the cadence of the sentence is changed by the information contained in the dashes. Often, it's replaced by commas in the form of a non-defining relative clause (The man, who lived in the house next to me for many years, was coming to visit). Think of it like a cue to take a pause before saying/reading the information.

Try posting non-US news to !news and see what happens.

Well that's some high grade bullshit. "The World’s Internet Frontpage".

It'll go unnoticed, but I think it's appropriate to remind Americans that theyre co-opting terms like "news" to mean "American news".

I don't think that's the case, but I'd like to be proven wrong. You can use a free icloud account to temporarily sign apps for a week using Alterserver, but afaik you still need a paid account to sign them for a year.
