      Many, even when offline, will constantly pester you to connect to a network, or will attempt to connect to any open one it finds.

      Some have offline, non-targeted ads from factory.

      There have recently been trials of Amazon-powered TVs automatically linking to any Echo devices it can find and using it as a bridge to get internet. I’m unsure if that’s something they’re actually going to go ahead with right now though.

      Roku doesn’t let you use your device unless you accept their TOS for example.
