    My experience with roku is that if you block all the telemetry stuff by blocking roku with a wildcard, it works for about a month at a time and then breaks certain apps like clockwork and makes you re-download them to restore function, meaning you have to unblock the roku domain and allow it to collect all the stored data.

    Idk if its still like that, I did a factory reset and left them offline years back, but just an fyi that this advice may only be partially workable for some platforms.
