I would be focusing on leaving Google behind… not promoting it. But then again, OP probably isn’t aware that Google is a CIA project.
How so?
Who do you think gave us the technology for GPS - Google Maps and Google Earth? CIA and NSA combined has infiltrated or helped develop many technologies, including social media. Human data is gold to them, especially when the goal is, “Pre-crime”. Minority Report is not just a sci-fi flick, it will become a reality sooner or later - the powers that be just need as much data as possible, as fast as possible (real time), and the jurisdiction.
Oh and look up: Enduring Security Framework (ESF)
If you’re the CIA, then you don’t need to own Google in order to use their intelligence.
Who do you think gave us the technology for GPS
US Navy.
NAVSTAR started in the 70s…
CIA
Why do Cookers always ascribe this most useless agency with so much power?
Oh, goodie, another locked-down ad and DRM machine.
$100 and it doesn’t even include the HDMI cable?
Now that every TV is a smart TV who’s the target audience?
I buy devices like Apple TV to replace the built in shitty smart tv functionality on smart tvs. I do not want ads so I do not connect my tv to the internet, and instead connect my streaming box.
Yes but this offers the exact same functionality and built-in ads/tracking that you will find in any androidtv based smarttv.
They even list having ads (recommended shows on a service that you aren’t subscribed are ads, not recommendations) that cover 80% of the home screen as a feature
Yeah no. 20 bucks for a pi zero and libreelec. No ads, you can play retro games on it and did I mention, NO ADS!
All I want to know is:
- Can I watch Twitch streams on it?
- Does it have a built in browser, I can watch videos from non-app services on?
I’ve been using roku for what feels like 15 to 20 years. I’m finally ready to buy an Apple TV just to be able to watch Twitch on it. If Google TV Streamer either has an official Twitch app, or can install normal android apps, like the Twitch app from the play store, and has a web browser that can play videos from standard websites, I am sold.
If someone has, or buys a streamer, please let me know with a reply.
