we live in hell

I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    I believe it’s Roku. That purple symbol in the bottom right is on the remote as well.

    Very budget so this doesn’t surprise me.

      Also beneath the purple asterisk is the words “Roku TV” in grey on the bezel

      Fuck Roku. Don’t buy these. They shove ads down your throat constantly, and they proactively, aggressively stop methods of circumvention.

      Wtf I thought roku TV were one of the good ones. I use a Roku thing that you plug in and I haven’t seen this yet.

        The Roku box was one of the good ones… about ten years ago. Though maybe this is just a TV thing. TIL Roku makes actual screens.

        In the past few years especially, I’ve seen so many unshakable “good ones” go bad. Some, in the worst possible way.
