I’m like a generation younger than you at least and I’m on the default terminal and tmux train, so I’m saying you’re not out of touch.

Tell me you didn’t go to law school without telling me you didn’t go to law school.

Edit - As American prisons are a form of institutional violence, your warning that posting Wikipedia links “could be in violation of Federal law” is in itself a call for violence against the original poster. You can self report to the gulags.

I mean if my options were “Roku level ad invasion” and “Let Tim Apple own this ass every time I boot up an Apple TV” I’d be starting my power bottom fiber regimen yesterday, but you do you boo.

Ah. I appreciate the context. Now my confusion is just shifted from Roku to California legislators. I can appreciate future proofing a law, but this seems a bit on the nose.

If you have files with a bunch of different formats and codecs you don’t want to use anything Roku, your direct play options are extremely limited. This becomes almost a hard requirement when dealing with hevc 4K hdr/dv stuff unless you’ve got a server with quicksync or some oomph.

I’m probably going to get a lot of derision for this because it’s Lemmy, but for wide direct play coverage you either want an Nvidia Shield or an Apple TV 4K. I like the Apple TV solution, and everyone in my household is familiar with the UI. The Shield is the only one of the two to support Atmos audio if you have ceiling or upward firing speakers. It’s also not apple if you’re ideologically opposed to owning Apple products.

I’m not surprised you fell back to a Roku box from the built in TV apps, but if you’re going to go for a dedicated streaming box Roku, Firesticks/Firecubes, and Chromecasts should be the last resort due to ads in the experience and codec support.

Super weird. I would assume that olfactory sensors would cost more per TV than Roku would make by collecting the data. Afaik there’s no such thing as electronic olfactory sensors per se anyway. In before labs start buying Roku TVs because they all have gas chromatography machines inside them.

I have an LG GX and have never experienced this. I’d assume the G line and up won’t have this issue, and to my knowledge even the lower tier C models don’t have this issue. A friend of mine recently got a C3 (I think, idk what they’re up to yet, maybe 4? It’s the newest C model) and it doesn’t have this ad issue either.

Alright Dahmer, calm the fuck down.

‘If you raise (the price of the) effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’

Be careful you might get banned for promoting violence.

It has not defaulted to root prompt in many years.

In the before times, they did. If you can handle old graphics (which doesn’t seem like something that should be a problem but apparently is) check out the of Brothers in Arms games, specifically Road to Hill 30, Earned in Blood, and Hells Highway.

Those games were Gearbox at its best imo.

Exactly. Internet delivered to the home by some form of wired connection will always be better than internet delivered via cellular, regardless of whether it’s an old-school hotspot or a newer 5g router with the cellular modem built in.

As far as ISPs go, Fios is pretty good. I have them, they’re relatively cheap for 1Gbps symmetrical, I regularly speed test at like 980Mbps, I get a regular public IP (no cgnat), the pub ip my router pulls only rotates when the router power cycles, the ONT box is just Ethernet so I can use my MikroTik and not have to dick around with making an ISP supplied modem/router pass through, idk I’m happy.

Not sure if they support ipv6 in my market, I just have all that disabled on my router. I know I know, I should stand it up, but I really don’t feel like it.

If Fios, Verizon hands down. Symmetric, they don’t do data caps, etc.

I’m not saying they’re a great company put anything, but the less bad in my opinion.

Source that for me because literally nothing I’ve read in the past hour tracks with what you just said.

Ah yeah, I totally misunderstood you. You’re right though, it is weird. Why would Russia lie about it, but also why wouldn’t they present him from the outset?

Israel could have shot down the plane to kill him, rebels could have shot it down as it flew overhead, it could have just crashed, or the transponder could have just gone fucky then been turned off en route to Russia. If Assad was on that plane and got splatted, it doesn’t have to be Russia doing the splatting.

Just in case anyone reading this is unaware, this is not a Novalogic Delta Force game. Tencent bought the name/IP, initiated delisting of all the good Novalogic games from Steam etc., and pumped out this stupid ass “game”. Hopefully it dies faster than Concord.

Did you read the article, or have any context for this headline at all? This isn’t about a video game published by Amazon. This is a TV show from the same creator as Love, Death + Robots. This has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that Amazon game studios are hot steaming dog shit.
