Still experiencing this on other apps as well. Attached is screenshot from Voyager. Still need to figure out a way to try and get some logs.

Any word on others experiencing this?

Dang. There was a brief hope. Just for a moment. 😁

This is news to me. It really balances it out for all services and media types (e.g. over the air, streaming apps)?

This is one of the primary reasons I use captions. I do not and never will have the equipment necessary to maximize the audio experience. Even if I did, I think I'd still struggle for many other reasons.

So captions it is. I feel lost without them if they are missing. I very regularly look at them to catch missed words and such. They also reveal a lot I would not have never heard in the first place anyway. My kids grew up with them and also get irritated when captions aren't available. You just sort of come to rely on them without realizing it.

Oh you haven't heard? The president of the United States is the "Leader Of The Free World." And Canada will be getting the added boon of joining their Union as the 51st state. He's making everything great again, whether people or nations realize they need it or not.

He's fixing TikTok. Fixing Ukraine. Yadda yadda.

I did some reading on this. Looks like the UN 1967 Outer Space Treaty and the 1972 Liability Convention define the "launching state" as being liable for damage caused by space objects, both on Earth and in outer space. Off the latter:

In 1978, the crash of the nuclear-powered Soviet satellite Kosmos 954 in Canadian territory led to the only claim filed under the convention.

Anyway, for the US, the FAA requires companies to carry liability insurance for potential damages caused by their launches. U.S. law caps the company's liability. The government may cover damages exceeding this cap, but only up to a certain amount.

Basically, SpaceX would likely be responsible for initial claims up to their insurance limits. Beyond that, the U.S. government would step in. Considering how wealthy Mr Musk is, I don't think taxpayers should be paying a dime to clean a his mess... but the US government is contracting SpaceX.

It certainly is common enough. You had me looking it up now myself. No luck though. 🤔

I feel like this can be true, but if it is... they're dropping the ball in so many other places that genuinely matter.

But the Apollo program was fake propaganda!
