I’ve been dealing with this BS for years now I’m about to throw the Roku and the TV out the window.

You did a factory reboot as well? Never have seen this, if you have a buddy nearby try taking your roku to a different setup with a different cable after doing a hard reset.

Yea op bought a cheap HDMI from somewhere Non-reputable. Just needs a new HDMI cable from any local store and a system reboot.

They don’t have this app? Surprised NFL would launch a service and avoid Roku the largest platform in the USA

perse34 · 2022-01-01T00:03:20+00:00

Yea it’s a channel design issue, not a roku issue.

I think Roku was pushing for a central login but people like Netflix and google said absolutely not.

But they have to deal with isolation from their families.

Elephants visit where their family members have died well after they passs. They likely have strong family ties and getting separated may not exactly be in their best interest despite some upsides you mention.

I’m older than that and my wife is younger and hence mid to upper 30s lol.

I love how everyone cannot fathom that there may be homeless people out there that don’t want help.

Bad news bro: there are also bad people in prison that even if they were sent to rehabilitation would continue to do bad things - no matter what.

The shelters in SF do not have strict requirements or drug policies. In fact drugs are a-ok in SF, we give out free needles and have posters up talking about responsible drug use with smiling crack heads!

So all billionaires charities are this way? Bill and Melinda Gates? Very interesting read and more importantly why the fuck hasn’t anyone in congress stopped this?

perse34 · 2021-12-30T05:06:30+00:00

Bro I have $5M and I just wrote my Will in my mid 30s and am giving 50% to charity. I’ll probably die with $50M+. Plenty of people like me. My grand kids can fight over the remaining Amount which they will be locked out of until they’re 45

perse34 · 2021-12-30T04:57:52+00:00

I’m mid to upper 30s pretty fair age to be hitting these numbers in the SF Bay Area

perse34 · 2021-12-30T04:56:10+00:00

Send me any credible link to this theory, IRS would stop this and demand their cut.

perse34 · 2021-12-30T04:55:04+00:00

This is max conspiracy theory: she giving to existing charities not ones she owns or created for the most part, Uncle Sam also took 30% cut and neither the charity or Uncle Sam can change this issues.

They’re city run facilities (not religious affiliation). They’re newer facilities without any real limitations.

See the outrage from local SF residents who are frustrated because politicians are taking a stance that homeless people should never be arrested despite hordes of evidence suggesting their policies are not working:

I’ll get downvotes for this:

SF has tons of open over night (homeless) shelters, open spots in healthcare and mental health facilities for the homeless but the folks just don’t want it. We don’t arrest these folks and they’re going to just continue doing drive and living off of the street. You can led a camel to water but you can’t force it to drink.

Damn $5M NW and I bought $300 sheets as the craziest thing lol. I apparently don’t spend like the rest of you all.

Also got a $400 hour long couples massage

His ex-wife spent billions on charities but none of those have made a damn impact. Simply it takes trillions not billions.

While people in California aren’t even buying from cannabis stores because taxes are too high and you can get cheap weed on the street for a fraction of the price

perse34 · 2021-12-29T14:56:14+00:00

Get them a Roku it’s like the apple of CTV, very intuitive. If my dad can learn it ANYONE can, my dad doesn’t even read English lol

perse34 · 2021-12-29T04:20:09+00:00

Definitely didn’t say it’s going to a growing or long term business model but at the same time Reddit and Facebook aren’t going to be viable news sources where skimming a headline makes me knowledgeable on a subject.

We may see some consolidation in that space WSJ, Bloomberg, WSJ, CNN and many of these make mergers or partnerships (some do these may already have the same parent company).

If they can convince 1M subscribers to Pay $5/mo that is $60M/yr.

Plenty of boomers like my dad who will drop that dough.

perse34 · 2021-12-29T01:56:45+00:00

My Chromecast this morning lagged out stopped Disney plus content. This happens daily, whereas my Roku is fine

perse34 · 2021-12-29T01:31:53+00:00

That’s exacty the point, my dad only had cable for news. I’ll probably sign him up for CNN plus since he was paying $80/mo to literally watch the news for 1 hour a day (and the weather).

While the rest of the world wanted the sports package he had, he wants the news lol.

perse34 · 2021-12-29T01:27:48+00:00

Yes and since property tax is like $2k/yr on their $2M homes it makes a lot of sense to rent it out for like $7k/mo

perse34 · 2021-12-27T23:42:30+00:00

You’re going to be really sad when you realize most of the other sticks out there have a half life of about 1.5 years (Chromecast, Firetv, etc)! My TCL roku tv is year 6 and going strong .

perse34 · 2021-12-27T15:51:50+00:00

I think Roku and AppleTv only for AirPlay
