I have a Roku ultra in my kid's room.

I do not want her subjected to ads when she turns on the TV.

This is unacceptable to me and I will be replacing all my Rokus immediately.

When my girlfriend moved in, she had a big TCL Roku TV its software absolutely sucks. But it would keep a blinking led on ALL THE TIME if it wasn't connected to wifi.

I put it on my iot network, and I'm considering null routing it.

I actually had a Roku box plugged into it since it had a better experience, but I'm probably going to switch that to a Nvidia shield pro because of this ad bullshit.

I know it's being lazy. But if you have the regex you could post, I'd appreciate it.

I had this happen to me just a few days ago. Within the hour I bought an Nvidia shield and came up with a plan to install the projectivy launcher and button remapper.

I'm mostly happy, it's much more snappy but it's missing a couple apps I used on the Roku (WGN and Marquee Sports). At least I can use my own pictures for the background and screensavers.

Yes, but it's also like saying that someone in London should go to Moscow to deal with Putin. And that is STILL HALF the distance from where I live to Washington DC where these fucks are dismantling my country.

It's so exhausting to see a legislator acting as if an executive order applies to them.

Dumb fuck, you don't work in the executive branch. It doesn't apply to you.

Since he won the election in November, in spite of putting in over $1k with employer match every month my balance has actually gone down. This is fucked up.

God dammit, I hate this deflection. Oh no, you aren't hurting the company, your hurting the workers.

Fuck that noise. If our government was doing its job, it would have protections in place for workers.

I went through my ancestry last week with the hope I'd have something to grant me citizenship elsewhere. My dad's side went back 6 generations and I still didn't find anyone outside the US. My mother's was 5 generations before I hit Austria and Germany.

As far as I'm aware, he's not even allowed to drive. The secret service won't let even a retired president drive on public roads.

I'd think a non-profit could do that pretty well. Set it up to take donations directly and have all donations be tax deductible.

My 401k is down 3 grand, even after I've put in $1000 in just the last month. Fuck everyone who voted for this asshole.
