Otherwise, you get frame stuttering and lag, and sound may be off. And you really do need a 4K HDMI 2.0 cord at the bare minimum for true 4K.

There are solid state flash drives you can get if you want something that provides SSD speeds in a smaller, more compact body, but they kinda suck at this point in terms of technological development in 2019. Lots of them are unreliable. Though if you have a 1080p Roku, then I wouldn't bother with anything more than an SD card. Not really needed IMO.

And yeah, I like tablets too.

I'm doing okay going back on my AP. I hate being on an AP, though, because I'm getting brain damage from it.
Yes, this is an old Roku. I have 2 in the house, even though I think it is possible to use one for the household. There are 3 floors here and the units are 2 floors apart. Yes, the old Rokus take SD cards.

I am glad you are doing so well!

It would be great if the drug companies could find an APwhich did not cause such scary side-effects.

I am starting Enbrel this weekend for Psoriatic Arthritis. It is supposed to stop, or slow down, any permanent joint damage.I have put this off for 2 years because of the potential side-effects, which are many and include conditions like "lymphoma." My rheumatologist says she has neve known anyof her patients to get lymphoma from Enbrel,despite the warnings. This does not really reassure me as I am so often her one patient that has something unusual occur in regards to treatment trials.

Anyway, things are getting bad enough that I am wiling to try it and see if it helps. If it helps, then I will have to decide whether or not to continue it and take my chances. If it does not work, then the decision is made.

I guess I have mentioned this to affirm the fact that many meds have some potentially severe side-effects and it would be most helpful if meds could be helpful without so many potentially serious side-effects!

I guess we will all keep doing what's best for our daily functioning for today and worry about tomorrow when it gets here?
