Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV in c/technology@lemmy.world

Man, am I happy that I stopped using my Roku and switched to an Nvidia Shield TV. I'm also happy that I have a "dumb TV"!

Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft in c/technology@lemmy.world

I tried the Official Windows 11 start menu. I had disabled showing "recommended apps" in the settings. This hid the icons, but not the section. So, whenever I opened the start menu, the entire bottom half was a section that said "enable recommended apps to show them here."

That's when I installed Start11 (I also bought StartAllBack, but I preferred Start11) and never looked back.

As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Why do I want to get a skirt now and try that out? Just to see what it would look like...

I haven't heard of this one. Personally, I use FLauncher.

Fossil is quitting smartwatches in c/android@lemdro.id

Yes, there are a few ways to do it. You need to have logged into the Fossil app with an email/password, it didn't seem to work with "login with Google."

I used a python script that I ran on my computer that got the private key from the Fossil servers.

NOTE: You need to add the private key before pairing with GadgetBridge, if you add it after then it won't work.

I recently switched to using GadgetBridge with my Fossil Hybrid. It was a little annoying to set up, but it works.
