Sounds like it's a recoverable error (if the scientists can't do it the spacecraft has an automated process that'll kick in in October.) Still, I can't imagine what that must feel like.

What's always maddening about this is we tend to do a kind of communal thing in our household where we all connect to the smart TV and stream short little videos.

But shorts won't stream. So you'll see one, want to share it with the group, and be completely unable to do so. Why they are restricted that way I have no idea.

It was like this in my CS department a decade ago, too. There was me, one other gal, and for a while a German exchange student who wanted nothing to do with either of us in the entire grad program. I learned to talk a lot louder over the course of that program.
