It only took two years for Vimeo to realize deleting all of its TV apps was dumb

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-19 23:27:25

Vimeo, the business-focused video sharing and hosting platform, is bringing back its Apple TV app after ending support for all of its TV apps in 2023. While the company hasn't been trying to be a YouTube competitor for a while, TV apps were always more convenient than Vimeo's proposed solution of casting video from a smartphone or tablet. The rebuilt Vimeo Apple TV app lets you access Vimeo's curated library of Staff Picks, your personal library of uploaded videos and anything you've saved to y

Apple TV+ has already premiered what’s arguably the best comedy of the year so far: The Studio. But now Seth Rogen has another TV+ debut coming soon—the return of hit comedy Platonic—and it looks better than ever. Platonic season 2 is almost here, and the trailer looks great The king of comedy at Apple TV+ has historically, without question, been Bill Lawrence.

When a doorbell rings during your favorite TV show, does your dog leap up and start barking or cock their head inquisitively?

Bluetooth pairing sucks on most Google TV devices, but Google wants to change that

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-21 11:30:30

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Fast Pair, meant to simplify Bluetooth pairing, is still not widely available on Google TV devices a year after its initial rollout. Despite a prior announcement suggesting a broad release, the feature is currently only supported on four devices, including the Chromecast models.

I was just an elementary school kid when I Know What You Did Last Summer first fell on my radar, and I was hooked (pun fully intended), even though it wasn’t until several years later that I actually watched the entire film. The 1997 movie plays out a bit like Scream without the self-aware humor, which makes sense considering that Kevin Williamson penned the screenplays for both movies. Despite its more straightforward slasher approach, the movie’s summer setting makes it a fun, warm-weather wat

The New LG OLED TV Has the Brightest Screen I've Ever Tested

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition. The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected.
