I really really wish general society had brains.

I'm not preaching anything new here, that people who know what a fediverse wouldn't already know.

That being said, never buy roku anything. This isn't new. It seems every 3-6 months I read a new headline where roku shits all over their customers.

And I know I know this. And I know you know this. However I also know we collectively are like 3% of society. Walk into any target or walmart or best buy, and you'll see walls and walls of tv's. And 90% of them say they have roku built into the menu. Well, WE know not to buy that tv. However, everybody else still buys it, and then complains 2 years later when their tv is bogged down and slow and they need a new tv.

I really wish it were legal to stand in these stores, and anytime someone tries to buy a roku, or roku tv, I could just beat the shit out of them with a tire iron. In my mind that seems like a perfectly justifiable response. But apperently thats "assult" and I would be "deranged" and "psychotic to even think that was ok".

Pssshhhh......

    The TV's have been problematic, but the devices them selves have been basically cheap and works. With LESS nonsense than the alternatives in that category: firesticks and google devices.

    On the other hand, with a Roku you are limited to no vpn, and rare apps you might want (the exception being the nice youtube ad blocker).
