"not even dead"
If you dance with the devil, the devil don’t change, he changes you.
what i did is going for the smallest sd card, and buy a proper bigger one, then clone the "stock" card, and copy over roms and metadata from my nicely curated Batocera drive.
it can be super tricky to get any OS that officially supports the R36S to run on the clones, so i run the OS it came with. the device isn't connected to the Internet so i don't worry too much about malware.
dreamcast is simpler to emulate, n64 notoriously isn't, I've been struggling with this system during my Raspberry Pi 3 emulation era already. the "real" R36S apparently is a tad more powerful than the cheap knockoffs, but i can't seem to find it anymore - the closest available official one would be the RG35XX for $55
at that price point, the R36S clones on Aliexpress, i got one on sale for ~€22. they play everything up to ps1/dreamcast, n64 not so much though. the romsets they come with and their metadata are really bad, and the sd card is prone to die spontaneously, so it requires some tinkering
it's cross-posted, but not every lemmy client show that explicitly

check out this list: https://publicdns.info/best-adblocking.html
using the adguard dns is probably easiest, fire and forget. nextdns gives you more settings and controls.
on android you can e.g. drop "dns.adguard-dns.com" in the "private dns" setting and you're good, system-wide
