Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Coincidentally came across this post with a person being presented an ad while watching a DVD, apparently it's a Roku thing.

Ugh I'd bin the thing if it did that to me 😔

From the info in that thread, it seems like Roku owns the technology to screenshot what you're watching and identify it, to base ads on. They licence this technology to other TV makers so it's not just Roku but other smart TVs. I think it's the TVs and not the Roku Stick, but I guess you're just a software update away from on screen ads...
