No worries, it's a common misconception. It doesn't help that Nickelback was founded in 1995 and the song came out in 2002 iirc.

Hero wasn't by them, it was only by Chad.

AdGuard. You can get a lifetime license through stack social for anywhere between $16-$30. It also does HTTPS filtering.

~~He's referring to how you need an iPhone or iPad to set up the Apple TV; you can't sign in to it without one. It's an odd 'overlook' from Apple.~~

Apologies, they did for an iCloud Update on Apple TV: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/apple-tv-users-may-need-an-iphone-or-ipad-to-accept-icloud-terms-and-conditions/articleshow/97063589.cms

From a media perspective, I am inclined to agree; however, like the article said, the experiences of these devices are getting worse for seemingly no reason. Personally, I'm inclined to believe NVIDIA may not make another device like the shield because of the focus on AI and chips. I'd imagine these devices make little profit compared to all the money being made with the current focus on AI.

I don't really like the lock downed experience of Apple's ecosystem, but the software updates make these devices, particular the Apple TV, better every year.

Niether are open source, but the full versions of AdGuard for each platform, Adguard Public DNS and DuckDuckGo.

When it comes to streaming devices, nothing beats Apple TV in my opinion.

Outside the Apple TV app itself, the OS has very little ads. The only thing I dislike about it is the lack of Kodi + Google Drive plug in, but Infuse Pro works.

 

The project has versions for Windows, Linux and macOS, and even ARM builds for those using M Series macs and ARM on Linux.

I figured this may lead to an interesting discussion in the comments.

How has your use of Technology changed in the past year? I'll start.


  • Due to the rise of streaming services and Sony/discovery removing content from libraries, I downloaded all my iTunes purchases onto a 2TB SSD (which I'll soon need to get another).

  • Like many, I've stopped using Reddit outside of Google search.

  • I've reduced my subscriptions to just two. (Apple One and Google One)

  • I've purchased DVDs/Blu rays of my favorite uncensored shows (Family Guy and American Dad) and ripped them and watch them through Cloud storage (Google Drive via Infuse for Apple platforms, and Kodi for Windows)(I've also purchased MakeMKV just because it is so damn useful)

  • I've used Google App Scripts to bypass some Gmail limitations to make filters that I otherwise couldn't. For instance, in Outlook.com, you can block email addresses and domains before you have ever gotten an email from them. In Gmail, you can't. The best you can do is create a filter that deletes them. In my case, I've created a Google App Script that runs every hour and looks for (@.mil) domain emails and marks them as spam. (I am in college, and I fucking hate that they give my email to recruiters.)
