  1. I still think the Rio Karma looked good and it had a good interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Karma

    I've still got it somewhere but the HDD has died.

  2. Cheaper to just use the wifi access that 99% of TVs will be given.
  3. I'd rather have the often loaded static html running on a server that is optimised for that job, or served from a cache close to the user. The backend can then just serve up the dynamic content and be optimised for that job.
  4. Having the html stored both on a static html site that can be cached and in the code base of a backend server is more complex to me than keeping these concerns separate.
  5. > The server just returns HTML (not JSON, actual HTML)

    Thats the thing I don't like. I don't want parts of the structure of my page coming from the backend server. I just want that to send data, as JSON and for the front end to handle that into whatever structure it deems suitable.

    That way all of the front end code is in one place.

  6. What does the app give you that the website doesn't? I've never tried it as the website works just fine.
  7. > Don't worry, when you blackhole the entire tiktok domain, you'll still be able to use grindr.

    Grindr can still sell your data.

  8. Thats a shame, I used to be able to pass fake location data through on an app by app basis using an Xposded module. That was probably 10 years ago though.
  9. Also it shouldn't be allowed in Supermarkets
  10. I get 404 when I look for pricing of headsnap - https://headsnap.io/pricing
  11. I couldn't work out how to do it on my Fire Stick either. But it does work for my Google TV.
  12. Fortunately you can still by an external unit and plug it in
  13. Doubt it, 99% of consumers will connect it to the internet. The remaining 1% will be blocking ads everywhere making the data rather useless and potentially poisoned.
  14. You could install Flauncher or another launcher onto Android TV. Then you don't see ads.
  15. I like rewatching old TV shows and films, streamed from my Jellyfin server.

    For me, my rule is to get a Google TV, because I can change out the launcher to Flauncher. At least that way I don't see any ads. Google may well still be tracking me, but they do all over the web and I have an Android phone so they've already got plenty of data on me. I just avoid their ads so that it minimises the profitability of that data.

  16. I use it. Works great.
  17. > Who cares if we sell less champagne??!?

    Those whos relatives freeze when their country can no longer get LNG imports
