we live in hell

See the problem is that you let a display device connect to the internet
All new Roku devices do that, even if it’s not a Roku tv. Roku went from one of the best video devices to the worst in one fell swoop. Literally the only good off the shelf device is the Apple TV.
My Roku TV will be in a landfill before I allow it to send 1s and 0s through anything but the HDMI cord
How does it stream things/what’s the point of a Roku if it’s not connected to the Internet?

I feel like I’m explaining how you use a screen without touching it. Is this what it’s like to be old?

You use HDMI. There are ports on the side of the device that allow video input from devices like computers and Xboxes. I use my computer and Xbox to watch Youtube and TV shows.

Ah, for some reason I thought you were referring to a Roku stick/box, not a smart TV, my mistake 👍.
