Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

yes, dcp. I actually thought that would solve the problem but it did't.

I'm worried that my Chomebook is suddenly out of date. not listed in their devices anymore.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don't know much about Chrome OS, sorry. But some ideas to explore, if you haven't already:

I know Android has a PeacockTV app. Does ChromeOS have one?

Do you get the same result from the NBC web site?

Our wings are not tired.

I had to install the Peacock app on my Chromebook.

I tried to install the app but it wouldn't let me sign in because I already have a Peacock account. but I'll try again. I can get some of it on YouTube, but it's not all that organized there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just replaced my iPhone 12 Mini with a new iPhone 16e. That’s the last time I’ll ever have a normal-sized phone in my life.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am not sure if anyone reads this anymore, but...

My Friend Maria and I have been sharing a Netflix account since we were passing discs back and forth. I am the owner. We only live a couple of blocks away, so thus far, we have evaded getting caught.

I do not have a tv. She has two. I watch on a Mac desktop.

I now cannot watch Netflix because she is the Netflix household. I can't take it back because it involves scanning a QR code on a tv and I don't have one!

We understood that she might have to pay for her own eventually when we got caught, but we did not anticipate Netflix thinking she is me!

Any thoughts besides me buying a tv to scan the QR code, or just cancelling the account altogether. I can add an extra member (also willing to do that) but I am already the main member!

Should she log out of everything, and I try to log back in? This happened with Amazon, too but the other way (it thought I was the main member, and really she was) and I just logged out of everything and bought my own.

Obviously, I can't really call customer support. I just want to watch Stranger Things when it comes back, so it is not urgent.

Sophia can you not go over to her house and scan the QR code? Then it might just think she is someone who watches Netflix on her laptop at work or something.

We use it in multiple locations and just have to enter a code from time to time. But yes, going over to her house to scan the code seems like a good plan.

I think the code has to be in my house with my wifi. But her brother, my colleague, is going to lend me an apple tv so I think I can do it.
