I’m in a similar boat. While my current setup is getting by, I’m in the market for something better.
I’m hoping that the shield will soon get a refresh when Nintendo releases their next console. If so, I’ll be picking up a shield for sure.
I wouldn’t recommend most of the cheap Android boxes. Most of the are full of malware. LTT did a video comparing most major Android boxes: https://youtu.be/sdLnieL90d0?si=6nAX8E0d9c4OZXqM
You can also use SnapRaid along side MergerFS to provide some data redundancy. MergerFS will allow you to create a parity drive, without requiring all of your drives to be in your typical RAID pool. This way, if you have several drives die, then you can still access whatever data is available on the remaining drives.
This is my main approach to media. Instead of spending money every month on streaming services, I buy the media I care about. If I have to buy it on Amazon, then I pirate my own copy.
Just in case you weren’t aware, updating your block lists in uBlock Origin should fix this problem. It’s worked for me, at any rate.
That’s actually incredibly unrealistic.
Just about every county in the world is divided into provinces/states/territories.
I absolutely agree! Renting a movie should cost nowhere near as much as purchasing the movie.
Spending $30 to own a brand new movie that just came out is not something I have a problem with.
However, not being able to download a copy of the movie you purchased is where I take issue.
Talk about a privacy nightmare. No matter your stance on piracy, this is the most dystopian answer you could have given.
It’s not some random strangers job to take care of you.
Perhaps, but m.lemmy.world is just using wefwef anyway.
Oh, you’re totally right. I hadn’t noticed the change.
Give wefwef.app a try in your mobile browser.
Try using wefwef.app It’s a great mobile browser friendly way to access Lemmy.
I like that comparison. It even allows you to explain that there are different levels of privacy.
Leaving the curtains open at night, while you have a light on, really opens you up to the world. But then opening the curtains a smidge during the day to let the light in at least serves a purpose.
I absolutely agree. I quit the streaming services and now put the money towards purchasing media I actually care about.
I used the official Reddit app for a long time, but I ultimately switched to Apollo for three reasons.
Firstly, Reddit collects a lot of data through their official app. I’ve been slowly working on controlling my digital privacy, so the official Reddit app had to go.
Second, the official Reddit app is littered with ads. This really does hurt the user experience.
Lastly, once I started using Apollo I fell in love with how customizable it is. While I don’t have anything against the official Reddit app’s UI, I much prefer being able to customize it to my liking.
As for why Apollo got so much attention, it mostly comes down to its popularity and just how transparent its creator has been throughout the entire API fiasco.
I find their pricing to be rather reasonable. They even have a lifetime plan.
