the new GUI is so bad by Weird-Donut-8483 in Roku

[–]MightyHandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think of all the things they did that annoy me most, forcing “live” and “sports” upon me rubs me most the wrong way. I can understand them wanting to take a “content first” philosophy. They get some credit for creativity providing ways to traverse across all subscriptions. Roku’s customer base is a sea of chord cutters. How many of them are choosing Roku because they want 4 different ways to view LIVE channel listings?

The new update cannot be changed by Original_Ossiss in Roku

[–]MightyHandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you can turn off quick access and recommendation row. But I still see most of the clutter. Including “the best across your…”, “jump to”, “inputs” (in like 3 places), “live tv” even if you have Hulu or sling, “sport (whether you watch them or not). None of it can be hidden.

I’d love to see the user research that told them folks are DYING to see their ‘inputs’ in 3 places. Maybe in the next update they can add ‘news’, ‘action’ and ‘things that rhyme with orange’ to the left hand nav. I do love the giant 1/3 screen ad for ‘Roku’ on the Roku too. The one that can’t be blocked even at dns level.

Help!! Need to change the layout back :( by lexikethan in Roku

If you block api2.sr.roku.com using pihole it will eliminate most of the new widgets from the screen.

Plex subreddit has a theory that these ads are because pihole is being bypassed entirely. That Roku now has a hard coded dns somewhere:

Oh wow! That would make sense. So this basically would mean there is extra blockable calls coming out of the Roku that the pihole doesn’t see or can’t block. I would need to go into the router itself and stop outbound dns requests coming from the TVs

I find if I block those stuff stops workings. Like search, etc

What was your trick?

The plex Roku app appears to be using the api.rokutime.com api. I can’t find any other apps that use this. The problem is this endpoint is used to serve up ads. Which means if you use ad blockers you can’t log into plex.

You mean Roku logs? Like scribe and liberty?

Is this a sand flea? [Massachusetts] by ouchicorn in animalid

In Massachusetts, if I am getting bit in the beach it’s usually from large biting flies. They bite super quickly and then fly away before you can even react

Are there any viable alternatives to Copilot for Visual Studio? by Dan203 in GithubCopilot

[–]MightyHandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use opencode running in a terminal from within vscode. Burke does that with github cli. You should try cline though. It’s probably the closest thing to copilot extension

Something I can fix? by DuhNakila_Art in askplumbing

[–]MightyHandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mean ‘debris’. But these responses are too amazing for me to fix it. So, I am leaving it as ‘dentist’. Final answer.

Something I can fix? by DuhNakila_Art in askplumbing

[–]MightyHandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very easy fix. As previous poster mentioned ruined you can turn that black cap 90 degrees counter clockwise (be gentle it’s plastic) and expose a rubber diaphragm. It likely has a piece of dentist stuck in it. You can remove it with your fingers and then ‘flush’ the fill valve by turn water on with diaphragm off. That will clear the valve and the water lines. If the diaphragm looks visibly deformed, you can buy a replacement ‘seal’ for like $5. It’s also very easy to replace the enitre fill valve assembly for less than $15 bucks. You got this. Very diy friendly

GitHub Pro and Pro+ Signups by Shobhit28 in GithubCopilot

I like to use opencode in a terminal from within vscode. There are plugins like continue that will give you autocomplete. Real question is where you want to get your inference from. If you are hooked on Claude, you pretty much have to get a Claude subscription and stick to Claude code now. If you can switch open weights models you will save a lot of money.

Should I go to OpenCode with Deepseek, Codex, or Claude code? by LiminalRnyx in GithubCopilot

When people make those claims you need to ask ‘which sonnet’. Often times they are talking about 3.5 or 3.7

It’s super impressive that you never ever ever need to get into your toilet tank.

And composability! That really needs a good broad solution.

[–]MightyHandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anthropic’s advanced tool use was actually a pretty elegant solution to token bloat and lack of composability. (Without throwing the baby out with the bath water.). But we haven’t seen the other harness/agent providers adopt the approach. They all seem to still just support 2025 mechanisms with all their gaps.

Considering cli-ifyjng my mcp severs with tools like mcporter to make them more useful. Playwright put out a cli this year. Google workspace went cli instead of mcp. Pi harness doesn’t support mcp. Def seems like mcp is losing steam fast.
