Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Of course I did, it is actually quite short and concise, and it agrees with me that you're incorrect. Luckily, we can clear up your confusion because the EULA is quite clear and leaves no room for opinion. Please quote the EULA where it states that internet is required to use the device.
https://docs.roku.com/published/deviceplayereula
This EULA applies to Roku smart TVs and the firmware/software that is preinstalled. Other Roku software services that can be accessed using a Roku TV have additional EULAs, but because I am not using any of those software services, I am not subject to those EULAs.
The 2020 EULA states:
About two years ago they used the digital rights management or other technologies to force users to consent to new dispute resolution terms in order to access their device which wouldn't be possible without internet access.
Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms
Well you certainly tried! Swing and a miss. In no way does that mandate internet connection to use the device, and no court would agree with your misinterpretation. In fact, your own link is not even related to the DRM clause that you quoted, and is instead related to their updated arbitration agreement, which has nothing to do with internet access.
I am compliant with all DRM features on my TV. 👍
