  • New to Roku after finally cutting the cable cord, 2 questions.
    "Question 2: I bought two Roku Ultras" - You activate both Rokus on the same account on roku.com. I've had a Roku Ultra for some time and recently bought a Roku Express 4K for the guest bedroom for visiting relatives. When I activated the new Roku on my account it automatically duplicated all my apps on to the new one. But test each app, a few required me to log in on the new Roku. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Any fellow coders out there familiar with ripping encrypted HLS streams? I've found a site that is using every protection in the book to prevent stream ripping and would love to chat
    Can something similar be done on roku.com? I tried following your steps for this video https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/67ca18fb4816521db4f188855569c21e but I noticed the type is not hls but mp4. There was a file that started with index instead of ending with index but much more complex then the sample video used in the example above. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Just got this 50” roku sharp tv and tried setting up last night only to be met with this message everytime i try to click a channel. It’s saying there’s an “excellent” internet and wifi connection and yet nothing works on it. i have tried everything in the book including 2 factory resets i’m lost
    Did you reset the device & re-set it up on roku.com to be 'owned' by you? Source: over 1 year ago
  • No Search Bar?
    Certain features will be missing in unsupported countries. You can see our list of supported countries by navigating to roku.com and trying the county selector option at the bottom right hand of the page. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Unauthorized Roku charges through my Paypal account.
    Easier said than done with an elderly parent, but have your mom go to roku.com, reset her password, and give you the password. Then you should be able to go in and remove any payment method (presumably your PayPal), cancel any subscriptions, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

    I see your windows 93 and raise you a https://windows96.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager
    [Windows 96](https://windows96.net/) is also pretty cool. Internet operating systems is a niche subject that I am fascinated with, and I put a list of them on [my website](https://www.whoisthisjoker.com/jokerlinks/virtualoperatingsystems/). Im going to add OS.js to the list soon. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • Ask HN: Again: The “I want to do everything but end up doing nothing” dilemma
    Thanks! I started with an Angelfire site back in 1998 and it's taken a long time to get to this. I always wanted to have a little miscellaneous site where people could come and play around a bit and check out some info about me if they wanted. The idea to turn my website into a desktop environment came out of me trying to think how to present all my various content to users, and thinking how it would be easier if... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Being in my 30s, seeing this brings me back. Boots to desktop still 💪
    I know it's not the same, but https://windows96.net/ is a fun browser based windows 95-ish app. It's a little limiting, but it's still a lot of fun to mess with. Source: about 2 years ago
  • is this programmy enough?
    I show people this website if they tell me they've "mastered the frontend". Source: almost 2 years ago
