Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. 

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can't believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won't be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

Also have a California ip you get a different privacy policy.

Roku is, first and foremost, an advertising platform.

My friend uses roku and I found it hilariously dystopian that the screen saver is basically just an artistic side scrolling city scape with billboards that advertise shit shows and movies you can stream or pay for.

Plex/Jellyfin is the only way to go.

When Roku took all four of my set-top roku devices hostage a while back with their forced Terms of Service update, I threw them all in the trash and have warned people against using them since.

Roku is a garbage ad company that will continue to use your devices against you.

We have a roku TV that has no internet connection. It did when we first got it and didn't play as much attention to this kind if thing. It's now a dumb TV that'll never get internet again. We run everything through an rpi4 running osmc.

Smell-O-Vision sounds like a great idea until you think about it while watching a zombie movie.
