Roku owners face the grimmest indignity yet: Stuck-on motion smoothing

Software updates strike again, leaving interpolated frames in unwanted places.

@arstechnica @tvaziri I bought a RokuTV for the garage several years ago. It was great only having one cable to plug in. But after the last round of software crap I blocked its internet at the router and moved an older AppleTV out there.

Real thought:

What depresses me most about the state of the world at present is that we've stopped caring to live up to the spirit of our ideals.

When we fail them and are pressed, we can rationalize our terrible actions based on technicalities - and large swaths of our culture have normalized doing this very thing.

It is my most sincere hope that we can walk our way back from this. I see some signs of this, but would prefer to see many more.

@TechConnectify @glyph It’s a thought exercise, but I always frame it as could Kennedy issue his “we will go to the moon” speech today, and would we have the will to actually do it.

Obviously the tech now exists, but sort of that level of aspiration. We’ve neglected (and even outright denied) scientific advancements and education, and what little is being done is privatized for corporate profits. We have little to show for our decades of advancements.
