So i agree that some of our devices should not be connected and work just fine if you don't give up control to big tech.

Nobody is gonna read it and may go unnoticed, but one crucial aspect of these devices is their thermal performance. My initial experience was with a first-gen Xiaomi TV Stick (I'm Brazilian and we use a lot of Xiaomi devices) and over time, thermal issues became apparent. The device overheated and eventually shut down. Unable to persist with it, I switched to a Fire TV Stick, which exhibited no thermal problems. That's why it's important to make some tests of the thermals of these devices. Even if users don't engage in extensive tinkering, software updates can lead to issues with the SoC temperature. Therefore, in upcoming videos, please consider evaluating the thermal performance of these devices. 😢

It has some crappy athlon and 8GB of RAM, which -surprise!- is actually good enough, just barely, to watch movies and anime in H.265 with no lag! - Cheap bluetooth mini-keyboard for navigation. - An 8TB hard drive on my gaming PC that's set up to be network accessible, so that the crappy laptop can be used to watch TV in the living room without filling up its measly 256GB storage. These little streaming boxes are good for non-techy family members who just want an easy way to watch Netflix, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Roku has a real problem with app support. Most major streaming services support it, but Roku is very restrictive in how the apps can access the hardware, which keeps many developers away, and limits the features available. Those limitations along with a very simple interface make it a great option for less tech savvy family members with limited requirements. It's been my go-to for retirees, as long as the streaming services they use are supported. I especially like the TVs with Roku built in, as you can label inputs "DVD player" etc, and they just get listed alongside the apps in the same interface.

I discovered how to train your TV remote to use the soundbar to a basic degree by RTFM ;) so I won't have to use the included remote for anything past bass, Clear Voice, or UniVolume. Turns out setting this up DECREASED LATENCY BIG TIME! Soundbars with IR repeaters RULE! While's it's not instantaneous, it makes the TV feel like 2016 new again.

That's a super valid argument against using TVs' built-in software at the end. One of those articles happened to me--my Fire TV now defaults one level above, autoplaying ads instead of defaulting to the strip with inputs, settings, and customizable/commonly used apps. Still, I would love to see a roundup of TVs with built-in apps and features. I realize that's all TVs nowadays, but specifically I'd like to see products like Fire TVs, Roku TVs, and any other series that are advertised as set-top box replacements. Even if it's a video saying "hey we know they're compelling but stop getting these TVs" and going more in depth on the final topic of this video while pointing out some of the silver linings, I would like to see it.

The reason to not use the internal OSes? Security updates, just like with phones, many companies only provide a few years' worth of patches which on a phone you might replace every 2-6 years on a contract might be fine since you likely at most will only be out of support for a year or two, on a TV though where many people hold onto their TVs for 10-20 years, yeah no. Go ahead and use it until it no longer has support, but you definitely shouldn't be using it 15 years later, a dongle is easier to replace every few years while the actual TV itself continues to work just fine otherwise if it wasn't for being a security risk.
