Roku is literally chock full of ads, and they send whatever youâre watching back to their ad partners. I thought Roku was good too until I recently bought one of their top of the line boxes and it had ads _everywhere _ compared to my Roku tv. I immediately went out and bought an Apple TV and couldnât be happier. No ads anywhere, and is way snappier than Roku.
Apple TV. No ads at all, itâs faster than every alternative (unless youâre building your own server), and it is much easier to use than every alternative.
They did work collaboratively towards a standard. They just also in parallel worked on their own project, because they know standards can take an indefinite amount of time, so it could have been a decade to get USB C fleshed out, while they had already been working on Lightning in the background.

And did I mention that one could access Hangouts (and its SMS pass through server) from any machine in the world through Gmail?
this was actually one of the things I hated the most about it. It doesn't really matter what features you provide when the product is so bad it can't even make up for it. I had no clue it had sms passthrough, it was just a shitty chat/voice client integrated into my email client, slowly making things slower and slower the more they added.
If you're tired of Java you can always do Kotlin, it's a lot less wearing on your soul. And there's tons of job opportunities.
