Yes, patent it. Then nobody else can do it!
Nah, they'll sell the licensing rights for others to do it.
Suddenly lifetime patents seem not so bad
So good of Roku to increase power savings by looking to inspire gamers to turn their tvs off when they pause, even if just to go to the bathroom.
And good of them to patent such a sleezy move.
This is at the point where just not displaying ads at every corner is becoming a viable business plan
whew, thanks roku! for a awhile there i thought i might use one of your products. no longer a thought.
The forced arbitration EULA, ads on the homescreen, and prevention of installing your own apps didn't already convince you?
They sell their TVs at a loss because they anticipate making money back via advertising, so don't feel bad about buying a cheap 4k TV. It literally costs them money!*
*As long as you don't connect it to the internet for some dumb reason
Have to squeeze every possible fraction of a cent of potential revenue out. How else are you supposed to maintain infinite growth?
Not only should this be illegal, some of the underlying efforts should put people in jail.
Damn dude, Roku blows now
Hot garbage
I'm old enough that if my tv starts playing shit when it's paused i will shoot it
I honestly thought that not many people really cared for Roku anyway. I've never a Roku device and never will now.
This wouldn't fit with the gdpr, right?
Or maybe it's completely unrelated idk
That depends on how Roku gathers data. GDPR has, to my knowledge, nothing to do with the ways in which ads are shown. Just how the data on those ads is collected.
