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.

I don't connect my Roku TV to the internet, and always use external devi e via HDMI.

Sure, but what os u run? The only open source one for home media is Kodi.
I've ran it for a while. But it's a pita.
My most people that also have jobs don't do that.

I run Arch on both my PC and Laptop. I self host a few containers to stream media from. Either use web front end, or native apps.

I both have a job, and maintain all of this. For fun.

Ya I wanted so bad to like Kodi but no matter what I do it crashes at least a few times daily. Constant audio sync problems and lockups as well.

My Roku media player, obviously...

Another device that collects the same shit probably 😂😥

It's a lot easier and cheaper to replace a small device (Roku, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, Fire Stick, XBMC box, computer, etc) than it is your entire TV. Once you connect and update your TV, I don't think you can choose to downgrade it later...
