"The iPlayer is the BBC's online media player for catch-up TV. Users of Windows XP, Vista, Mac and Linux have been able to stream programmes for up to seven days after broadcast. But until now only people using the Windows operating systems have been able to use the iPlayer to download programmes to view on and offline."

All The Best for 2023

Well it's nice to see some acknowledgement that Linux is gaining recognition, but iPlayers usefulness to me is just viewing them online, which I've always been able to do anyway.

It does show the impact Linux is having though, which is great

Twitter is something the birds do in the morning, not an activity on my PC or phone

mikkh: It was pretty easy with the help of vapes, which I've dabbled with for years but never really stuck to full time - till now. One bad habit for another maybe, but I feel healthier and it's definitely a lot cheaper. Nov 21, 2024 7:45:12 GMT
