This is why I use Start11

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”!

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.

Code money get up get coffee, code monkey go to job.

People still use AdBlock Plus? I thought that was long since dead. You know, since they sold out and let companies pay them to show ads.

Other than Good Omens, and Grand Tour I guess, what’s even on Prime Video that’s not elsewhere?

You’re assuming they care about the content of the ads. If they’re getting paid, they run the ad, that’s it.

This doesn’t work for most streaming services. The ads and the actual video come from the same server. I know this is the case on Hulu (probably YouTube, too).
