It’s not surprising. Now that the world is proliferated with fake photos, fake videos, fake documentation, fake products, fake history and fake politicians we just will be destined to live in a fake reality.

Wow! I never considered using my new high powered high resolution investments to travel back to the days of clumsy software and ugly graphics and fonts.

Thought “Back To the Future” was just a funny fantasy movie…

I use Roku and watch bunches of those channels. But I’m extremely tired of being hammered with their promotions of some of the most obnoxious and mindless channels for you to watch. By hammering, I mean having the same horrible ad played up to four times in a row or that ad running every time there is a break in the show being watched.

I’ve found a simple alternative and moving fast to kill my Roku boxes asap.

I’ve blocked my TVs from internet access. This makes them dumb TVs. I’ve connected my own entertainment sources to the hdmi ports. My media server feeds movies, documentaries or old TV shows as I want. No commercials.

I have a Roku box on one tv and am testing a cheap android tv box that I’ve eradicated all Goo from and stripped it to bare features. Beyond that, my network runs its own DNS server to control what traffic finally goes out.
