Some Rokus and Apple TVs receive longer update windows, though.

    eh…kinda. the upside to manual USB updates is you get to intentionally apply them and can decide not to if an update makes things worse like removing features or adding more ads and tracking.

    with automatic updates they can just silently update without your consent

      This whole removing features from a product that was where when I bought it is a concept that needs to die. I don’t care if you don’t want to support it anymore, I don’t care if literally nobody else uses it, hell I don’t even care if I don’t even use it, it was something I purchased that they’re taking away without consent or refund
