I don’t understand it, but they are very good at what they do

I am so out of the loop on Stanley tumblers. People are obsessed with them, I don’t get it.

Cool thanks, I’ve never tried the alternative YouTube apps, whether I open the website it gives very questionable revomendatuons to me.

That is the side of iOS and Apple’s stuff I hate.

What kind of apps are you side loading? Apple TV has VLC and Plex, which seem like the apps people who manage their own media use. Of course you need a NAS or server to host your content and it won’t do that. Then all the major streaming services have first party apps (though Netflix seems to neglect theirs)

I’ll admit I don’t know much about Android TV but is non trivial to set up a raspberry pi for TV.

The apple solution just works and seemingly doesn’t hate the user.

I’ve been programming on apple devices for over 15 years, you can do a lot with a Mac.

What can’t you do now? It’s still a full on unix system, in fact it’s way easier to get stuff done with Brew than when I started using Macs.

Well, it is a Roku.

If you don’t want ads, spend more on an AppleTV, which seems to be the only thing that isn’t trying to jam ads down your throat.

I don’t think you need the rest of the Apple system, you can just install Netflix and Plex and whatever else you use.

By what logic does failing to stop an attack on foreign soil imply you should keep surveilling your own citizens?

Logically isn’t this a stronger advice of “if you cannot stop an action with hundreds involved and multiple countries, what’s the point of all your surveillance?”
