roku roku is a streaming box that you connect to your tv which allows you to stream audio and video content for any number of online services from your favorite youtubers to netflix and any number of other imitators roku is the streaming box for the everyman it's not meant to be anything flashy or even performant and while it is by no means the most disturbing quote smart tv os we'll get to that in a second it certainly is a contender from its default purple background that hasn't been meaningfully changed since roku version NUMBER_TOKEN to the unapologetically simple design to the fact that the os is spying on your media consumption preferences and serving you with custom tailored ads it's all just a little too unnerving there's something very strange about the way roku devices feel and i can't really put my finger on it almost as if a roku device were the same as visiting a dying shopping mall put simply roku remotes prominently feature buttons for now defunct services it's akin to seeing decaying neon signs atop darkened vacant storefronts gated off from public entrance these entryways living as a physical testament to unchecked consumerist culture of the late NUMBER_TOKENs and early NUMBER_TOKENs and i can't think of a better definition of a liminal space windows millennium edition there are few releases of windows more superfluous or maligned than windows millennium edition built on top of the windows NUMBER_TOKENx series of operating systems windows me stripped out many of the useful features that made its predecessors so appealing things like real mode dos for example meanwhile as they're stripping out features microsoft was also back porting features from their nt operating systems things like windows movie maker and system recovery features that simply did not belong in the NUMBER_TOKENx world however the most unnerving part of windows me was the surreal NUMBER_TOKENs era skins for windows media player and the os's obsession with using wma and wmv media formats but they quickly learned that windows me was a failed experiment and they unceremoniously discontinued the os with the shortest lifespan for support of any windows release lasting merely three years
