    <p>What is the best way for a father and son to play games such as the upcoming WWII COD together in the same house, on the same Internet connection, and on the same team online against other players? Do we need two xBox gold accounts? Should we buy the game "digitally" so we can buy it once and share it? Does that work with two primary xBox gold accounts? It seemed we ran into issues when we would buy DLC when I (the dad) had the main Gold Live account with the boxed version of the game and the sub accounts couldn't always access the DLC easily. With the high cost of digital downloads for new games where you can get 20% with Amazon Prime or Best Buy clubs… what are people doing? It still might be less expensive on-sale to buy 2 boxed versions than 1 full price digital version that you can share. Thanks!</p>

    <p>This is more a question but with an answer! (novel, I know).</p><p>(Well, after Rafaels attempt last week…. In fairness, it's very difficult off the cuff like that)</p><p><br></p><p>In Windows 10, we noticed videos started showing a green horizontal/vertical bar (or bars) in youtube or when playing MP4 files via Firefox 54 / 55. Pretty irritating.</p><p>It stems from certain Nvidia video cards not having compatible DX11 support. (Make sure you have the latest Win10 Graphics Driver, but that doesn't help here).</p><p>An example video (rated U, its a cartoon rabbit – quirksmode.org site hosts browser compatibility info)</p><p>https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4</p><p>(If you have a green bar at the bottom you have this problem)</p><p><br></p><p>The way to solve it, is type "about:config" into Firefox Search bar.</p><p>Search for <strong>media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva</strong></p><p>and disable this option, then it will not longer have any green bars.</p><p><br></p><p>Hope that helps someone, as it's not that easy to solve. </p><p>(Some may think it's their graphics card failing when it isn't).</p>

    <p>Given past malware issues like the Lenovo Superfish issue, and spyware like the Vizio viewing tracking and selling of consumer data, what's your view of the relative safety between using a Smart TVs built in OS, like modified Tizen, vs a Smart TV appliance like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV? </p>
