My thoughts exactly. A few years ago I bought an Android box for the tv from Amazon. It was named something like m6 or m8,..
Anyway, we set up Netflix on the box and days later I was emailed by Netflix saying my account had been accessed from a foreign country. These boxes are coming pre-infected.

I've *read* about these Roku ads. I have 3 Roku streaming boxes (1 4k wired and 2 cheap wifi units) and I haven't been fed a single ad from Roku yet... though I understood it was the Roku TVs doing this and not the standalone boxes. I could be wrong. I feed 4k content from an emby server in my basement and never had any issues.

I live in Sudbury Ontario in Canada. I normally shovel my driveway regularly between November and April. This year where I live, we had a brief week of snow in November; it melted quickly and we had no snow after that through December until the first week of January. We had maybe 5 snowfalls I needed to shovel and by March 1st we had no snow left on the ground. I've been here 42 years and never had a winter as warm as this one. YMMV of course, but this year I didn't even take out my snowblower.
