Roku users around the country turned on their TVs this week to find an unpleasant surprise: The company required them to consent to new dispute resolution
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.
You don’t need root to change the launcher? You can simply install launcher manager and the custom launcher (wolf or whatever), and set it through there.
I’m usually rooting all my android devices, but the shield is the first one where I didn’t see a need for it.
