My in-laws have all Roku tvs. I had to go over and "fix" the TV's for them cause they didn't understand what the hell this was. I straight up just gave them my modded Nvidia shields and bought myself some more. Fuck that shit. We need a better open source tv like interface. I've used plasma big screen but it's not ready for normal people with not Linux but fixing experience.
What does a moded Nvidia shield give you? Is it rooted or something else. I'm curious because I have been looking at them as a replace for Chromecast android tv
Maybe modded is the wrong word. They're rooted with a different launcher and my pihole does it's best to block telemetry. Getting rid of the Google launcher with ads on it is a major improvement.
Ah, that's awesome. If you have any howtos to share i would be ever so greatful.
I have pihole also doing its best to block everything it can
