I should clarify: the secret menu can still be navigated to and the options there set. But ads now appear regardless. I went back into the menu and verified the options hadn't changed (they hadn't). It's like Roku has gotten wind of the exploit and 'fixed' their OS to ignore those options.

I know this isn't purely TV-related, but there used to be a secret menu for Roku where you could disable home screen ads. That stopped working for me several months ago. So I recently bought an Onn box (which is basically Android TV, but had as very cluttered UI) and side-loaded one of the open source launchers onto it. It's been a much better experience than Roku, not least because there's are no more home screen ads.

Seems like it's much simpler than that. At least for right wingers:

I agree that's basically what I out in the text box underneath the AI multi-select options. "We don't want yet another annoying AI search feature or chatbot! We want a focus on useable features and security!"

You're not missing much, honestly. The article states with this:

Warning: This blog post is somewhat speculative; the sky might not be falling. But my spidey-sense is definitely tingling. The way we are all doing our jobs in software is changing, potentially in big ways. So let's think of this as a thought exercise.

It's basically a clickbait title on a fictitious concept.

Haha, I was going to post this very meme.

I finally moved completely over from Chrome to Firefox this weekend. Fuck Edge, and fuck Chrome.

So they are keeping the Mail app, but changing it so you can't send or receive email. That seems pretty pointless. Just remove it from Windows altogether and be done with it.

Then they escaped to the Delta Quadrant.

All this was foretold in that documentary sent back from the future: Star Trek Voyager.

Not sure why you are being downvoted just for not realizing about Brave using Chromium. That seems a bit harsh.

Here's a list of non-Chromium web browsers from August for you or anyone else who might find it helpful.

Whatever she does do is just going to be reversed. Good or bad, it will be fine purely out of spite. It's a futile exercise.
