Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV in c/technology@lemmy.world

Man, am I happy that I stopped using my Roku and switched to an Nvidia Shield TV. I'm also happy that I have a "dumb TV"!

Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft in c/technology@lemmy.world

I tried the Official Windows 11 start menu. I had disabled showing "recommended apps" in the settings. This hid the icons, but not the section. So, whenever I opened the start menu, the entire bottom half was a section that said "enable recommended apps to show them here."

That's when I installed Start11 (I also bought StartAllBack, but I preferred Start11) and never looked back.

Good thing I saw this was The Onion. I was having a hard time believing that Trump knows/remembers he has a son named Eric.

Some Democrats Want To Help Nikki Haley As A Way To Mess With Trump in c/politics@lemmy.world

You said you didn't get it, I explained.

Nikki is not short for Nimarata, Nikki is actually her middle name (which is not her first name, like I said). I assume she goes by her middle name so people don't know she's of Indian descent.

Joe is short for Joseph.

That's her real name, "Nikki" isn't actually her first name.
