"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I received a new Roku and I need to tell you about one of the features that I find really great:

you can put audio/video/photos/music (of specific formats) on a USB drive and connect it to the roku and the roku WILL PLAY IT.

So I converted some video to mp4 and put it on a usb stick and connected it to the roku and the video showed on my tv perfectly. I do not have an HD tv, but I understand it should work the same.

This is such an affordable way to consume media that I can hardly believe it.

Okay, so I have a new smartphone (T-Mobile 4G Mytouch, it's an Android phone), and it has a browser but I can't tell what it is.

What's the best way to read the board here? Do we have a mobile page? Or did I imagine that?

FYI, I don't have any trouble surfing b.org with the default Android browser. (I'm also not using a personal CSS stylesheet, either, if that helps.)

The only issue I have is having to resize a lot, but otherwise the regular page works fine with my Android browser.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You shouldn't have any problem with the page as is designed, but if you want to strip it down a bit, you can use custom CSS. Well, the page size will be bigger, but the layout less busy.

I haven't had any problems either way. I either use Opera Mobile or Dolphin.

serial: You're resizing on the T2, brenda? I admit I don't use the Android default browser, but this is one of the sites I don't have to resize.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yahoo mail is down for me. Anyone else?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yahoo mail is working for me.

Excellent! That made it work for me, too.

Thanks!

It's funny, I've been using gmail for so long, it took me a moment to remember how to send mail with yahoo.
