All I want to know is:

  1. Can I watch Twitch streams on it?
  2. Does it have a built in browser, I can watch videos from non-app services on?

I've been using roku for what feels like 15 to 20 years. I'm finally ready to buy an Apple TV just to be able to watch Twitch on it. If Google TV Streamer either has an official Twitch app, or can install normal android apps, like the Twitch app from the play store, and has a web browser that can play videos from standard websites, I am sold.

If someone has, or buys a streamer, please let me know with a reply.

For others, I set up uBlock at minimum.

For myself uBlock + uMatrix.

If on a computer need more security uBlock + uMatrix + NoScript.

uBlock and uMatrix can block scripts, but I find NoScript's fine grain control to be user friendly. Makes it a pain to browse the web though, until you setup each of your normal sites.

national chain. I think it stored the transactions for transmission, and in-case it didn't go through we also had the imprints as proof of having the card at the time of transaction. I assume it processed them as a different option instead of instant approval, and probably has different liability implications if the transaction is later denied. Being a big company, was probably fine.

Shop I worked for in 2005… I think … ran cards when the connection was down and took card impressions, and I think the transactions were all auto submitted when the connection came back up.

OMG, I'm dealing with a developer right now that is dealing with patient collected samples in several timezones, allowing the patients to either enter the time they collected, or use current time, and storing it in UTC time.

We do not receive any timezone data, patient collection data is showing different days than the patient could write on their samples depending on the time of day, and the developer said 'just subtract X hours' (our timezone).... for which not all patients would live in.

I suppose I could, if they'd provide the patient's timezone, but they don't even collect that. Can you just admit your solution is bad? It's fine to store a timestamp in UTC, but not user provided data... don't expect average users to calculate their time (and date) in UTC please.

This only makes me favor copyright reform more. Should really cut that down to 25 years or less; anything from before the 21st century should be public domain by now.

Burger King has a new burger that I like, and it's $10 (burger only). I would order it lots if it was $7 to 8, but $10 is a tad much.

Eating out now days is just too expensive in general. If I'm going to eat out, I rather go to an actual restaurant, because fast food costs about the same now days. $14-16 fast food mean vs $12-22 for sit down meal. I can keep the fast food costs down, but that's usually without a meal, and/or ordering inferior products.

I'm with you, but for my wife's sake I'd move Dr. Pepper at least one tier above all others.

I project I keep up on uses Discord for chat, help, and announcements, but....

They maintain a full website for documentation, and use github for bug reports, issue tracking, project discussion, other project management.

I like discord being a part of the community, but I can cant imagine people making it the project management, or documentation tool.

I get people's argument for results not coming up from the #help discord channel when searching Google, but I'm fine with how active the help channel is, and how searchable discord is in this case.

For those having trouble filtering to a specific channel:

In the past I would get full server (or multi-server) search. Its not happening now, but how I got it to focus:

Click inside the message input box like you are typing a message, then hit Ctrl+F. That would send me to the search box with "in #channel-name" to filter for only said channel.
