What an odd question. Disney+ is a streaming video site. You can just stream anything available anytime you want.
Different issue. Time shifting is something people do with television so they can watch at a different time rather than the broadcast time.
Almost no one seems willing to write a streaming app for macOS unfortunately. Neither Netflix nor Disney+ have one. And they both block downloading their iPad app to macOS for some reason.
This worked! Very awesome site, btw.
Most of the streaming sites that let you pre-download shows/movies (and only some, not all of them) only let you do so in their particular application and only allow you to view it in their application. Netflix's desktop app on Windows 10 allows this, which is why I find it odd (and frustrating) that they don't have a desktop app for macOS. I have my suspicions as to why, though. In fact, I'm not sure there're any of the big streaming apps on the Mac App Store yet. Considering I prefer to stream on my MBP over an iPad (iOS devices have really aggressive dynamic contrast and watching with subtitles or closed caption on triggers it constantly though iOS 14/15 and the new iPad Pro has gotten MUCH better at making it less noticeable, I still notice it) I wouldn't mind a danged app.
The Disney+ Stream would stop shortly after Safari put up the message.
Irrelevant . Otherwise you could avoid antitrust lawsuits by simply allowing pre-existing bugs to disable competitors services. It doesn't matter if something is intentional, a 'happy accident', an oversight, or even if there is a 'legitimate' (security or coding related?) reason for the problem. When you're the biggest company on the planet by far, legislators will expect you to go out of your way to not hinder the competition on your platform, and in a timely fashion. A billion dollar fine would probably get their attention. Watch this space.
Yes it was. After a complaint by Sun Micro in 98 (and a similar case in the US) the EU broadened their investigation to the tying of the Windows Media Player to the operating system. Microsoft tried playing hardball. They lost, appealed, lost again, and were repeatedly fined for not complying. At one point €1.5 m per day, which was to increase to €3m a day if they continued dragging their feet. When the EU were done with WMP they moved on to IE. This is so well documented and headline business news at the time I'm surprised you would even try to challenge it. Funny what people decide to argue about on the internet.
Try this for background reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Commission
or here is European Commission page stating "The case originated with a December 1998 complaint from Sun Microsystems alleging that Microsoft was refusing to supply it with interoperability information necessary to interoperate with Microsoft’s dominant PC operating system. In February 2000, following information obtained from the market, the Commission broadened the scope of its investigation to examine Microsoft’s conduct with regard to its Windows Media Player product (see IP/00/141).
On 1 August 2000, on the basis of an initial investigation, the Commission sent Microsoft a Statement of Objections alleging that Microsoft was denying to disclose interface information which rival work group server operating system vendors needed to interoperate with Microsoft’s dominant Windows PC operating system (see IP/00/906)."
