      Just got this notice... Not happy about it.

      Time for a Roku.

      I've got one. The fire stick is just that much faster and easier to use.

      Which roku do you have? I have last years 4K version and it’s plenty fast.

      Roku Stick. It's good but not great. They've been adding stuff like crazy to the OS and it's just been bogging down.

          Fire Stick is at least usable with the recent updates. The Roku not so much. I might pick up one of the new Rokus.

            I like using Kodi on my laptop and then Miracast it to my TV. Easy, cheap, unlimited possibilities.

                      That's because they can be sued, and the government - well it can be, but to no real point other than hurting the tax payers.

                          When is bitcoin mining supposed to be pretty much over? i.e. it runs out of coins to mine?

                            At current technology levels, I've heard something like the year 2147, lol.

                                    Because people would rather be directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people per year, and enable powerful black market cartels full of torturers and murderers, than actually help and treat drug addicts.
                                    Putting someone in jail for a year for using drugs is more expensive than supplying that person with an entire lifetime of whatever drug they are addicted to.

                                        They wouldn't rather do THOSE things. They are just okay with doing those things in exchange for the bribes that they get. It's not that they want to hurt people, they just are willing to. Not exactly the same.

                                          Boeing says that they will beat SpaceX to Mars. Quite a statement given how far behind they are.
