Mine… My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it’s insides. Still great, I just don’t use it anymore since I feel it’s outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.
Dumb question, what is a roku, I thought it was a tv brand. I don’t own a tv.
A Roku stick is something you plug in a TV that has an OS you can use to connect to your wifi. You can then download different apps to launch different streaming services. This includes a Roku app/channel and also Netflix, max, Disney, Hulu, zues, prime, etc…
It’s a standalone “smart”.
If your old TV or computer monitor lacks a “smart”, a Roku stick is one of the cheaper ways to acquire it.
Roku started off selling a series of little boxes with HDMI ports (or little sticks that plug into an HDMI port on a TV) to to make any HDMI monitor a “smart TV.” Hardware-wise it’s not dissimilar to a Raspberry Pi, it’s a little ARM chip made by Broadcom running Linux with a smart TV GUI running on it. Nowadays TV manufacturers build in a little ARM computer into the television itself and partner with Roku, or Google, or maybe one or two others, to do the UI and such.
