Roku needs to add Keyboard support before they try adding Ads.
There is no reason to not support a keyboard for entering search
VLANS also work. All we need are layer 3 switches in the neighborhoods.
This is all just a brief window of control by corporations. When older models get out and updated, nobody will care about corporate AI anymore.
Don't go. If, by some miracle it is awesome, you can go.
I have a 100% fix for the last mile problem.
Local Utility Company, that owns and maintains fiber.
All fiber brought back to a COLO facility where Vendors offer their services to the local utility customers, directly AT the COLO facility. Choice to the Consumer. The COLO and Fiber are maintained with fees extracted as part of the rental agreement between the vendors and the local Utility CO.
A consumer purchases service from the vendor(s) of their choice directly, based on their desires and needs. No Government needs to be involved. Increase Options creates competition.
Its a wonder smart people haven't figured out that Government Franchise Agreements has stagnated the status quo into doing nothing.

I used to point out that, if Linux were on hundreds of millions of desktops, it, too, would be under assault from large numbers of motivated hackers from sketchy countries, and would not be anywhere near as bullet proof as POMSPPP (Pee-ers On Microsoft Products Proudly Pontificated.)

More regulation rarely fixes the problems and creates more problems that only large multinational government tied corporations can comply. Example, the repeated problems with the Banking industry, one of the most regulated industries that has been repeatedly bailed out of bad banking by taxpayers. Filed under "too big to fail"
There is clipping in low bitrate Digital. It USED To be a thing back in the day of the very first digital playback devices (not CD players). CDs haven't changed since then.

According to COPPA, which has been federal law for 10 years
After July 1, 2013, operators must:[42]
* Post a clear and comprehensive online privacy policy describing their information practices for personal information collected online from persons under age 13;
* Make reasonable efforts (taking into account available technology) to provide direct notice to parents of the operator's practices with regard to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from persons under 13, including notice of any material change to such practices to which the parents have previously consented;
* Obtain verifiable parental consent, with limited exceptions, prior to any collection, use, and/or disclosure of personal information from persons under age 13;
* Provide a reasonable means for a parent to review the personal information collected from their child and to refuse to permit its further use or maintenance;
courts may fine violators of COPPA up to $50,120 in civil penalties for each violation
Any legal challenged are almost certainly going to be a waste of money given this law is hardly any different in reach or impact than the existing federal law. Effectively all social media sites are already required to meet the same consent requirements. The only difference will be that they will check for a birthday a couple years less recent than they were already doing.
