If you’re hosting plex or jellyfin I’d recommend an old Intel processor with quicksync. I paid like 200 for my pc on ebay gutted it and put it in a bigger case for more hard drives. Runs 4k videos like a champ with no GPU installed.

I hesitantly switched a while ago, have had 0 ragrets except that there are some games I can’t play like EA games. But is that really a bad thing though?

Agreed, it’s just hard to find a suitable replacement for many things like tvs, since there’s a lack of alternative apps for other platforms on things like roku or LG tvs

Pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads as it’s only a dns blocker, Google serves the ads from the same servers as the videos from what I understand. Adguard home works the same.

Invidious used to work, it’s a self hosted YouTube instance that blockw out ads and has things like sponsorblock. I have Playlet installed on my roku pointing at my instance but about a week or so ago it’s been giving only errors 😔.

Good news is that it’s slated to go stable some time this year iirc.

If I were to bet, I’d say the campaign is ran by a company that rhymes with Smoogle

Pcs are clearly inferior, that’s like 32gb on a Mac. /s

Brother printers, I also had an older ricoh you could just buy toners and chips or even use a raspberry pi script to reset the chip page count

They can order both on Amazon duh…

“yeah but that’s like having 32GB on a lame PC”

Probably one of the higher end models?

To be honest, I’ll be forever dubious of new products that seem to be in every other YouTube video. I returned this one after a day or two of troubleshooting. It also didn’t support openwrt if I recall correctly.

Thanks, this has been added to unraids community app store BTW so hopefully you get a good uptick in users from there.

I’d stay away from that particular one. We ui was slow af and whenever wireguard connected it crawled to a stop.

My best purchase in the last couple of years was a 4k Sceptre TV from Walmart. Super cheap, good enough video quality and is dumb, just turns on to 4hdmi ports. That way I can just plug in whatever I want, or get a $30 roku and replace it whenever they update it to the point where it lags on basic menu navigation like my previous tvs.

Fuck all that bloatware, ad infested crap.

“FUCK!” - Intel execs

Pop os is pretty awesome. Using it now and been gaming just fine. I shouldve made the switch years ago.

Whatever my installation CD had as default 😂. I’m guessing ext4?

You had me at the ability to block content creators. The fact that YouTube doesn’t have this is insane.

A lot of Amazon sellers are just drop shipping shit from aliexpress/temu they don’t even bother changing the pictures or descriptions.
