A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Until recently, yeah. Recently, my Roku TV is forcing me to interact with an ad (express interest or disinterest) before I can even launch an app.

That sounds like something that should be illegal. You bought the screen. It belongs to you.

Can you root the TV and be rid of that horrible functionality?

Dunno, I'm too lazy.

I have a bunch of Rokus and never seen that. That sucks

Hopefully it's some sort of A/B testing that you'll never see.
