I know a guy who went to lead their qa team. He was an absolute moron. I believe it could have been missed. I also believe roku is a shit company making a shit product. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I miss my plasma, and am now spoiled for life... Modern equipment handles motion so badly, it's hardly a Roku thing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Same. I disconnected from that, wrote my letter, and will never connect the Roku again. I’d rather throw away their device than deal with them ever again. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I had a TCL tv with built in Roku that just straight up stopped working right before all this anti-consumer shit they have been pulling. So damn glad I decided to spend a little more on a Sony tv instead of getting another. Not that I even love Sony, but seriously TCL, what kind of tv stops working after only 2 years?? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Their appliances are the worst part of the brand. #1 for money wasted on bullshit extra features with poor reliability | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Roku was only ever popular because they beat Chromecast to market by a few years, and became the brand to buy. Also Roku was still the cheaper option for a while when chrome cast came to market. Then it was prebuilt into smart TVs. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Woah! I missed this news somehow. I don't have a Roku but that seems like it should be illegal. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
It's still the cheapest dongle. Also, Google's dongles were banned in an anti-competitive move by Amazon for a while if I recall correctly. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

y'know, i momentarily forgot this feature's typically just used on smart tvs, i haven't used it on a roku TV before, maybe it does suck
but i used it on a midrange samsung, like, 6 years ago and it worked *great* for cartoons and sports
now i run SVP Pro interpolating to 72FPS on a 32" 1440p panel driven by a 9700K and gtx 1070 ti with artifact masking turned up, the picture's literally perfect with no glitches or artifacts
but i guess most people don't set up their entertainment center around a PC capable of running SVP smoothly | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

From this description their business sounds like a content farm to me. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It's not fraud. They are not obligated to reveal the Google search algorithm. In fact, hiding them was a good plan because every website tries to capture traffic with SEO tricks over good content. This is also why they don't reveal the YouTube algorithm. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
In Europe plying his trade to the cushy generational billionaires who can afford his services? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
What do you mean by content farm?
They did in-depth reviews of air purifiers.
It used to be easy to find good in-depth reviews on google, where someone bought a device, used it, knew about it, etc.
Now it’s exactly what they say in the article - couple of websites which often don’t even buy a thing, if the item is more obscure they just scrape the reviews from amazon and it’s on top of google results.
And if it’s more popular item it’s one of the handful of websites.
I don’t mind a site reviewing air purifiers earning money from links to air purifiers that people would buy - it makes total sense and as long as they don’t get kickbacks from the air purifier companies it’s fine with me | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

>Is Google S.E.O. Gaslighting the Internet?
It is incredible to me how widely this word has been adopted and almost no one seems to actually know what it means.
Excepting some pretty wild circumstances, companies cannot gaslight you. For posterity, the same goes for politicians, celebrities, and really anyone else you aren't particularly close to.
The word you are usually looking for is lying.
I do not understand the insistence on destroying a useful word because no one can be bothered to pick up a thesaurus. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Curious as a content writer working for any clients, how can you.l be an expert in all of them? I don’t get it tbh.

The phrase "search engine optimization" (SEO) is an oxymoron. No one but Google can optimize its search engine, and they do so frequently, changing its behavior to suit their own interests.
No one outside Google should have any illusion that they can do anything in the long term to make Google drive traffic to their site. Google makes noises from time to time about the fairness of its algorithms but it's just noise. Google hasn't had an impartial algorithm in decades, and even back when it did, it wasn't stable or predictable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Just to give a more general user perspective, I run a website primarily reviewing a niche genre of games that often only has 0 to 3 reviews per title. We used to often be the first result on search (and still sometimes are), but now we're getting more of the following:
Search: GAMENAME Review
* Result 1: GAMENAME mention in news
* Result 3: GAMENAME mention in news
* Result 3: GAMENAME mention in news
* Result 4: GAMENAME Guide
* Result 5: GAMENAME Review
...or occasionally, the review doesn't appear in results at all, sometimes leading to the *only* in-depth review of a niche game being not accessible by readers.
This isn't just an issue for those who run the websites, but a usability issue for users searching for the information. Even if it's not *our* review, when searching for reviews, reviews *should* be the top result rather than something else on the topic. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Maybe they were the first to sell all your email data to third party companies? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
"Answer the question in the first sentence" has typically been best practice in SEO content writing, and would often land you a "featured snippet" from Google which could drive a lot of traffic. However, with Google adding AI to the search page, AI answers those questions now and there's almost no point in making informative pages anymore. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
>Is this why I can only find actual information on Google by appending "reddit" to every search now?
Yup. Unsurprisingly, sites like Reddit and Quora have gotten a huge boost in search engine rankings in the last couple of updates. Which, as a user, I appreciate - I almost always trust Reddit over an individual opinion. Quora is trash though. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

It's called LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel), which is a Windows update schedule that extends security updates beyond the retail EOL, and is primarily aimed at enterprise/gov scenarios where lifecycle management is important (can't just take major updates on a whim).
Afaik, Win10 is the only version with ongoing LTSC support (Enterprise LTSC slated to end in 2027), no older versions are currently supported. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This is the point as far as I’m concerned. How do you get to go-live without having thought about security and privacy. It seems like it’s 100% not in their DNA.
Also the guy in the article seems to have swallowed the PR whole with the idea that because it will put an icon on the taskbar when it’s enabled, that couldn’t ever change in an update. He doesn’t seem to have a clue that future updates could do anything on top of this functionality and there would be nothing you could do to stop it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

No prob. I am not a linux power-user by any stretch. Have dabbled in different distos over the years, but would always find a way to bork an install or come across a game that just wouldn't play nice. Got a Steam Deck when they were released and was blown away with how seamless gaming had become. Got frustrated enough with my laptop always taking 30 minutes to try to "catch up" every time I turned it on with Windows that I decided it was time to try linux again. Pop OS has versions with nvidia drivers baked in, was pain free for me. Hope you have a good experience if you try it out. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yes, proton is on top of the OS so you can dual boot. If you want to have the game played in both OSs the easiest path would be to install the game in both OSs.
I believe that if you are using Steam in Linux, Proton comes by default. Or maybe there was a checkbox to include Proton I don’t recall, but it’s very easy and user friendly.
Install OS. Install Steam. Install game through Steam. Play game. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Recall is literally looking at your screen. That's a few levels more evil. Like literally everything on your screen.
Apple Google track quite a few data points yes, but after years, it's clear those things are not leaking your passwords, credit card information, porn habits, .... And keep it well protected . Your boss or wife can't look at it.
Recall would make all of this possible and due to ridiculously bad security actually make all of this data available to anyone with access to your computer. Your wife and your boss, but also any hacker or so just needs to target this and your entire life is just uploaded

You are right. I don't trust MS but at least the management is decently documented. In special anything related to group policy, that most people have no clue exists as local settings, not just domain enrolled. Basically you can kill most of the annoying stuff. However recall is one of those things that os absolutely hilarious and absurd along the massive amount of data they already collect.

Unfortunately consumer desktop linux is awful from a stability standpoint (even speaking as someone who knows Linux very well as a software engineer) unless you're using 4+ year old hardware or have OEM vendor support a la System76.

All I can say is that has absolutely not been the experience of myself or most people I know, not when trying to use it as a consumer desktop OS anyways.
Windows 10 and 11 have been very stable for most people I know, for all that I'm pissed about Microsoft's other choices with the OS. Most failures I've helped people with are clear hardware failures, e.g. SSD dying.
If anything, Linux seems almost less stable now than it was a decade ago. In the past I remember most distros would at least work properly out of the box, or maybe only needed some extra setup to get something working fully. Now there's always problems right out of the gate, and they're often much harder to solve as it's buried under more layers of increasingly leaky abstractions. Fixing issues has a tendency to conflict with future updates, breaking things further or unexpectedly down the road.

What distro did you use? Just curious.
I run Gentoo on my desktop and compile my own kernel. Device driver issues are rare cause the drivers are in the kernel and they don't really change much from version to version. They might add a driver or remove some old stuff but it doesn't really effect stability.
A coworker installed Mint on his work laptop replacing Windows and loved it.
If you want a more corporate / stable distro try Fedora. It's the community version of Red Hat. Nobara is a good gaming tweaked version of Fedora. The live USB runs on my desktop out of the box perfectly.
> broke so thoroughly after a system update that I had to power cycle the PSU to get my mouse to work again even in Windows
This doesn't seem like a Linux issue. I've previously run computer labs at a university with Linux dual boot on each machine and have never ever seen a mouse not work in Linux. It is possible that your machine went to sleep and power cycled the USB controllers during the update.
I've had annoying hardware stuff like that on Windows just as much. Pick your poison. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Everyone’s mad and will go right back to using their Windows based PCs. This has been the pattern for thirty years or so.
Corporations aren’t going to change a damn thing and will keep using Windows, Windows and SQL Server, Azure and especially Office.

Stability as it “it needs to be rebooted” sure, Linux > windows.
Stability as in your top 10 programs and your speaker and mouse will keep working automatically for years and years …. No.
“But just run these 3 lines in console to update these 3 packages, and ok that speaker doesn’t have supported drivers, but it’s literally just a simple driver you can find on Google and edit a couple lines and recompile”

An Arch variant. But I've had similar types of issues with pretty much every distro I've looked at, including multiple redhat and debian variants.
> I run Gentoo
I'm familiar with Gentoo and used it a long time ago. I want something that just works, I don't have the patience or time to spend setting everything up halfway from scratch these days. Especially when I know I'm going to have to do it again in a year or two.
> I've previously run computer labs at a university with Linux dual boot on each machine and have never ever seen a mouse not work in Linux.
Neither have I, but modern desktop Linux continues to find new ways to surprise and disappoint me every time I try it.

Yeah, the last thing I need in my life is to deal with Linux's bullshit. Of course, Windows also has its fair share of jank that I'm sure would be equally as frustrating for people going the other way, but I've been working with it for over 30 years, so I'm pretty used to it.
