Biased Journalism on RRA

I'm quite a rational individual and appreciate listening to all sides of an argument.

I was watching a BBC London segment about RRA, in which they of course had several sob stories from renters and why the changes are good. What annoyed me was that then instead of presenting a balanced counter-position of why the changes might have negative impacts for the market and for landlords, they interviewed a landlord in shorts, with ten properties, whose main gripe was that he now needs to send the information sheet to his tenants. Tool!

If they presented a regular landlord with one or two properties juggling a career too, and their actual concerns e.g. court delays, recouping losses, and anything else discussed in this sub, then we might have a fair and balanced conversation.

You'd expect better from the BBC, but I guess balance and facts are of no consequence. They're all biased and have a story to sell.

What's the most blatant example of bias you've seen on the topic?

Why is device id/name incorrectly reported as the model no?

Yet another thing that's broken or not implemented right. Whenever an app or site records login and config, it reports device name as "2511FPC34G" which is the model no. Even on my Xiaomi account. HyperOS (3.0.4) is misreporting it because the device name in settings is correctly set.

Does this happen for you also? Wasn't an issue with MIUI.

Stremio Torrents on TalkTalk

I've got a new Google TV which I've installed Stremio on with a torrent add-on. Nothing plays, even torrents with a high number of seeders.

Does TalkTalk block anything? Are there any settings I need to open on the router or on online safety settings?

This is the first time on TalkTalk, but also a new TV.
