Interesting details. I’ve thought about Roku’s a few times and the app quality has always been the thing people seem to complain about, so I’ve just avoided them.

They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.

Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.

Hell, emulation is a lot of what I use my switch for!

I also own all of the Switch games I play on Switch, but Nintendo digital purchases are a no-go for me since they’ll eventually turn off the servers, so I only buy physical and only play them once they’ve been ripped.

interesting! I’ve never seen one in a mall in my area, just stand alone (same with Chipotle actually)

Nice! I’ll keep an eye out for one!

I quit going after their CFO was bitching about quiet quitting keeping him up at night.

QDoba is better anyways, they’re just not in nearly as many locations (around me anyways).

hahahahaha, in my case, I’ve been lucky that the places I’ve worked we actually have always bought the accidental damage coverage!

I also practically start the conversation with this info so I don’t get lied to initially.

if I suspect something was spilled, I always let them know that we have accidental damage coverage and things like spills are covered and that makes the truth come out a bit smoother.

I mean, if they want a ready to go excuse for why the movie made no money, sure, this makes sense.

That’s basically my ‘fix’ too, I reboot the work computer at least once a week and close a ton of tabs on the personal computer whenever I notice I’ve got to scroll through all the tabs and can’t find anything.
