Sounds like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Imagine that you pay for an ad free streaming service through your roku, like HBO for example. And now you have ads streaming over it?
People will sue for a way to disable it over ad free paid content.
Also, this will lead to way more pirating. People are sick of advertisements.

Teon@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed203·1 year agoOh damn! If the suckerburg empire is already censoring Pixelfed, wait until they find out about Loops.
Fakebook is not a social media site, it’s a place to stalk and scam people, just like the other suckerburg tracking apps.
Install a Linux Distro. Connect to external monitor, plug power into wall.
Use it for a dedicated torrenting machine or use it as a test machine for whatever you like. If you kill it, whatever.
Otherwise I would just take that SSD out and recycle the machine.
Teon@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms6·1 year agoI use my “smart” tv as a monitor to stream. It has never connected to the internet and it does not pester me.
It’s always nice to read good news.
Teon@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service1·1 year agoNot for a dumb tv but I own a newer Vizio. I actually use it as a huge desktop monitor through HDMI. The actual tv itself has never been connected to the internet. You could connect a streaming stick (roku, amazon, google) if you wanted to. I stream everything from the net. Vizio has a horrible “free” streaming tv service that tracks you. But you can still use the actual tv in other ways if you don’t connect it to the net. It will act as a dumb tv.
Until we have a federal privacy law that allows us to opt out of being tracked on every device, you have to “work around” the problems.

Some of us don’t taste sweetness, we taste the chemical.
Gum stopped being fun.

Carpets need to be cleaned more often if you wear outside shoes inside, or if you go barefoot inside. Wearing socks (better) or slippers (best) inside keeps carpets cleaner longer. Hardwood floors are easier to clean with bare feet.
I really prefer hard floors and area rugs that are small enough to be washed in a machine.
