Sadly more common than one would expect.

Cat8 is pointless with gigabit equipment as far as speed goes. Cat6 will do 10gig, you just had bad cables.

I swear they haven't added a single fucking feature that is worth anything. Every single thing they do makes their product worse.

So far. Given another chance I doubt it would be better.

Probably for the damn plugs in those...

That really is clever. Imagine if they put that kinda thinking into making their product better instead.

It's short for charisma and you use it if you have none.

Valheim for the same reasons

Using the firewall to force dns because the services were stupid enough to rely on dns to determine location. You would use a (usually paid) dns service hosted out of the wherever the content you want was and get access to region locked stuff like the US netflix library from abroad. This worked because vpns were being detected and rokus dns was hard coded so assumed to be trusted.

I don't know if this still works because I no longer own anything Roku and Netflix's service hasn't been worth that kind of shenanigans for a long time. It likely doesn't work anymore.

Edit: Unblock-US used to be such a service

One reason used to be to switch to a different region for Netflix, etc but I'm not sure if that still works, I haven't had to use a Roku in a long time.
