  • Can’t log in to Netflix on Samsung TV

    I had this problem on our Samsung TV where no matter what, I couldn’t log into the Netflix app. I noticed that it happened just after I had changed the password to Netflix. Now lets not think about how fucking difficult it is to type in an email address and secure password using just a remote, but then the frustration of doing it over and over again and being told the login is incorrect… I was close to smashing the TV with the remote and then throwing the whole lot out the window.

    Anyway, after I finally accepted that it wasn’t me but it was either the TV or the Netflix app, I started googling around. Turns out there is a secret way to reset the Netflix app. Once I did that I was able to log in first time. WTF Samsung and Netflix? how can this bug exist?

    Anyway the magic is:

    Start SmartHub and select the Netflix App, then on the TV remote, press the following sequence: 

    Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up.

    Once you have done that, the app will ask you if you want to Start Over. Hit Yes, and you should be good to go.

  • I am transitioning GPG keys

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I am transitioning GPG keys from an old 4096-bit RSA key to a new
4096-bit RSA key.
This transition document is signed with both keys to validate the
transition.
If you have signed my old key, I would appreciate signatures on my new
key as well, provided that your signing policy permits that without
reauthenticating me.
The old key, which I am transitional away from, is:
pub   4096R/505E764E 2011-06-28
      Key fingerprint = B10B 2E72 BB30 FE47 ABC2  F1B9 FA57 1EC7 505E 764E
The new key, to which I am transitioning, is:
pub   4096R/93176CCD 2016-10-14 [expires: 2026-10-12]
      Key fingerprint = 4639 4DFE EFF0 344F E116  E974 C4E9 00B0 9317 6CCD
To fetch the full new key from a public key server using GnuPG, run:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key C4E900B093176CCD
If you have already validated my old key, you can then validate that
the new key is signed by my old key:
gpg --check-sigs C4E900B093176CCD
If you then want to sign my new key, a simple and safe way to do that
is by using caff (shipped in Debian as part of the "signing-party"
package) as follows:
  caff C4E900B093176CCD
Please contact me via e-mail at <jason@dickson.st> if you have any
questions about this document or this transition.
