So, I thought that Trump just spoke gobbledygook diversional nonsense in the last debate, but it turns out there is a name for this ‘tactic’—
Gish Gallop.
Lol yep— not answering questions or engaging in reasoned discussion but rather creating “so much confusion and misdirection that the opponent cannot adequately respond to each point” so that the Galloper “appear(s) victorious by sheer volume, not merit” has a name.
The “Gish Gallop” is a rhetorical technique named after Duane Gish, a prominent figure in the creationist movement who used this method to overwhelm his …

That's a good thing. I wish the TVs were all like that. I had the experience w/ the newer Roku TVs requiring an internet connection to initialize when I set them up for my mom recently.
Not necessarily. I can bypass the internet completely to set many of them up to do basic things like OTA scan and use the HDMI ports. Not with the new Roku TV, though (at least not initially). It requires hooking up to the internet to initialize and use the TV at all.
That is true. But first, you must initially set up the newer Roku TVs using the internet.
Yes, with wi-fi direct
Roku uses WiFi direct in a feature called "device connect" to communicate with other devices such as the roku remote, speakers and smartphones.

True, it’s a firmware update and you have to register the TV with Roku to get it to work.
The point I was making was the Roku TVs are different from many other smart TVs I knew (from a few years back, anyway) that included the “smart” internet-required features more on the side and optional. One can’t even initialize the Roku TV without first connecting it to the internet and registering it w/ an online Roku acct
That's a great point. Do you know if big-name streaming services would allow their apps on such devices?
That would be nice. You probably couldn't get an app from the Google Play store then, right?
@BeAware
That's a cool deal too... but Google and Nvidia have a partnership. I guess it depends if one doesn't care about Google knowing what they stream, etc.
It’s so hard to find a stupid TV nowadays but so better to use one.
Roku Smart TV: Roku’s idea of showing ads on your HDMI inputs seems like an inevitable hell
