Me unbinding the mysterious functions that share the key “I’ll worry about that once I know what that even means”

The mark of a good game.

This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it’s rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.

Obsidian with self hosted live sync is what I switched to and found it’s actually better.

I’ve had the opposite experience. It all “just worked”. Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.

The answer is “yes”. Especially for noobs, they are a life saver. My distro’s repository is missing a lot of things that I can easily get with flatpak.

Love this style of post. Like a little gaming tabloid lol

Floorp and librewolf, among others.

Yeah that’s also true. But I switched to proton specifically to have LESS work managing automatic email aliases that are tied to instantly creatable passwords/accounts. I might look into bitwarden with their alias service integration. But I’m not looking forward to another transfer of all of my stuff. For this very specific set of features, really all I can see is bitwarden or proton, and I really hope bitwarden is as seamless and easy as proton because I do not have the mental energy to fiddle with it all the time.

Please no, no more shitty electron apps

Wow, that’s so many different services to splinter one Proton account into. I was thinking about it too, but that sounds exhausting.

Humoring the situation, I imagine English would be an accepted official language of the region lol

I have no speakers right now. Does it sound basically the same or is it wildly different?

No, it’s smoother than even my brand new Google TV chromecast that it replaced. I replaced the default launcher with something easier for my elderly mother to understand because she kept getting confused with other devices. It’s snappy, has all the apps I have needed, and was easy to set up. New apps are still developed and updated for it too since it’s so popular, and ostensibly the best pre-built streaming device short of manually configuring a mini pc. I don’t see software support officially or from the app developers dropping any time soon because of that.

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.

I’ve used both, still prefer the shield. Hardware-wise they’re about the same insofar as I never had trouble with any lag at any point on either. This is what sets both of them apart from all other streaming devices. Chromecast, roku, fire sticks, they’ve all had trouble with some of the higher bit rate media on my jellyfin server. Apple TV and shield did not.

I prefer the shield remote.

The main difference comes down to software. Android TV is simply better. I can get the interface exactly how I like it, and run all manner of apps in the background, making the remote more useful among other things. Apple TV doesn’t even have access to the jellyfin app, you have to use swiftfin on the app store which has issues. You can sideload apps super easily on the shield. (Though for the jellyfin example, you don’t have to. It’s on the play store.)

Developer mode is also a great thing to have on the shield. I can now transfer apps and media from my pc super easily, speed up animations to make it feel snappier, (a feature sorely missed on apple TV) or even remote control the shield (which I haven’t found a need to do yet so I’m not counting that as a plus).

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