I just finished setting up a custom router with dns ad blocking. Next comes a media player so I can purge this smart TV filth from my household.

Huge shout out to Louis Rossmann and the FUTO communuty contributors, check out the wiki on self-hosted software if you haven't already.

Shield pro is the best, end of story

Are they still making those or are they all 5+ years old (2019 was latest I could find on eBay)?

[-] Alk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Yep, all 5 years old. I don't see a need for another one quite yet when even the newest streaming devices still don't measure up.

the age of the device put me off, it still runs android 11 as well apparently. I wouldnt want to buy one now and then a refresh comes out

[-] Alk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 12 hours ago

It's still the best streaming device hands down. There's not even any competition.

The last model they made was 2019. I highly doubt we'll see a refresh.
