"No window scraping of ice in cold weather; no brushing off of snow in winter" Fair enough. I don't live in an area that gets a lot of snow and ice so that isn't an issue for people here. There also isn't a huge car theft problem here. I have a car that is almost 20 years old and it has been outside the whole time with no major wear and tear issues related to weather. So with home prices the way they are most folks where I live would rather make better use of the space. Most people use the garage for storage and there are more than a few houses where the garage was remodeled into an additional room in the house.

It's a decent idea for this reason: some of the Roku original stuff is good, but you can only watch it on Roku channel with ads. One example is the Weird Al movie. When that came out it was exclusive to Roku and the only option was to watch it with ads. I'd pay 2.99 to watch it without ads. Like the previous commenter said however, they will screw it up in a few months by getting greedy and adding more content as an excuse to go up on the price.

... but the get-off-my-lawn slashdot crowd has a terrible track record of predicting the success of a new technology. I was here when they said the iPhone wouldn't work (holding up to your face will mess with the touchscreen, it won't work without a stylus, just get a PDA, etc). Then they made fun of the iPad (lol apple named their device after a tampon, that will go over well). Then they said bitcoin would never be worth anything and miners were wasting their time and resources (use your extra cpu cycles for folding@home instead). AI is here to stay whether you like it or not and it will only get better.

This. I've been saying for years that it would make the most sense to make all public internet addresses IPv6 and corporate LANs can still run on IPv4 if they want to. Translation can be done at the router. One major hurdle to IPv6 adoption is the fact that there are still a ton of popular websites that don't support IPv6.
