You mean like adding fox sports to already existing Roku stick or Roku TV ? takes like 20 seconds . Thats an awfully high price to pay just to have Fox networks preloaded to a TV or a roku device.
Yep, except now they get paid to have other streaming platforms stay on Roku. That alone will pay for the acquisition in a couple of years.
They went from paying rent to owning the platform and charging rent.

I made a TD account in 2007 in my high school’s computer lab to try to get LSU-Florida tickets from Ticket Exchange.

In this case i would think distribution expansion is the real reason. Fox owning Roku allows them to be able to distribute their entire product line to all of the Roku managed devices in all standalone and television chips.
Given that Roku hardware doesn’t need a major overhaul any time soon, they just exponentially expanded their distribution with the main overhead cost being the acquisition cost of Roku.
With this move, they can pull out of other distribution platforms which cuts into their overhead. This move could raise their individual return revenue on sales.
re: “Cards only” and charging a fee

It’s called passing the buck, Baw.
That’s what the card companies charge them to get their receivables from card transactions. Then you pay it for them.

My old friend is a programmer out of MIT and he is very impressed with the AI tools ability to produce excellent code quickly.
Just my two cents as a someone who’s been encouraged to use AI everywhere in their daily work since 2024.
AI, regardless of platform, is like a book smart programmer or work horse. It lacks creativity and the ability to think outside the box.
Has AI helped me learn python and powershell in record time coupled with API usage? Yes it has.
Did it get to the end product on its own or get past certain walls it ran into with its suggestions? No, that’s where it needed me to guide it.
Personally, I do not think that AI will ever be creative enough to over take what it does along side a human. In its simplest form, it copies what it sees. Master-Apprentice mentality. I don’t think you can teach an algorithm to be creative.
Creativity comes from prolonged struggle and hard lessons.
Algorithms don’t experience that, they loop.
I guess the frontal cortex means something after all.
Now let’s talk securities.
MSFT. They’re corner at the moment. I got by Defender years back and I did it because I assumed the error the programmer would make. It worked. MSFT security focuses on Kerberos interaction. That’s about it.
MSFT is having to offer profit minimal deals on its privilege management product that it’s hinted at rolling out for years now.
If that product could compete with the market, they wouldn’t need to discount it at all.
MSFT is going to attempt to charge customers to integrate other third party apps for Azure AD and Entra OAuth integrations.
That’s going to get them sued if they press it. As a platform, they are going to try to hold domain access and AD identities hostage. Those attributes are tied to company names therefore they’re going to try to charge for the use of a copyright and intellectual property game. They’ll lose that fight.
Hard pass on MSFT.
SNOW, while good software does not have a long road ahead of it. It’s ticketing software for help desk. It has issues with keeping up and passing data. It has a shelf life. I guess we’ll see how they grow from their current state.

re: Regarding OKLO

Still holding all mine. I work for a software company and this is a long term hold imo. There’s not a company that’s poised better to solve the country’s energy problem than them.
I bought into OKLO and PWR because I figured Quanta would get the bid to update the power grid for the deployment of the aurora generator. PWR jumped $200 in price in two weeks.
The Army invested in them. The Army only invests in technology that can be deployed at scale. AF and Navy are experimental spenders. The Army is not.
I would invest in semi conductors instead of AI companies. I don’t see why folks are investing in AI and not investing more in the throughput and availability guarantee of the AI investment.
Nuclear power is the only way to solve the production needs of our economy.

If with Fidelity, you should see if you have brokeragelink for your company’s plan. If not, find a job that has BL included in its Fidelity plan. You would be able to do both options with your 401k money.

Numerous local sports writers said that his work ethic was considerably lacking.
I don't know if he never got his injury properly diagnosed, or if that's true.
Regardless, it looked like a lot of games were being played with what was true and what was not.
The scouts do their research, and who knows what they found. Given the above, he was a risk.
