Who would have thought the best security practice would turn out to be having devices too old to be updated with spyware? No jokes

Basically anything else you use here in the west sends all data to Amazon-controlled servers. But they make sure its encrypted so only them can see it. Nice.

How is it with notifications and location nowadays? That's my main concern about switching. SafetyNet or dog developers enableing "check if app installed from playstore" stuff?

Its not about nicely asking apple for "help" pre installing some apps, it is forcing them to open up the os to different software sources.

I don't see it necessarely as a bad thing. I would rather have my gov id app (for taxes, id and driving licence, public services info) on my phone when i buy it, rather than candy crush and other fucking bloatware. I think it would also help a lot of non-tech savy users set up their phones quickly.

Second of all, gov ID apps having their own store on the side is good. Them being only available on google's store makes it so that if you want to access public services from your state you have to go through google (?), it is clearly not acceptable by a government standpoint, It is even worse than a monopoly.

The article seems from 3 years ago, any news after that on the matter?

Guarda che è il singolo sviluppatore che fa opt-in in questo schifo. L'app funzionerebbe perfettamente (ovviamente) senza tutta la mondezza di google in esecuzione in background. È una decisione della singola banca...

Hello sailors,

as a long time FireTV stick un-enjoyer, I finally decided that the time has come to get rid of this piece of crap I was baited into buying because of the low price. The number of streaming services keeps increasing (splitting content among different servives) and each and every one of them is demanding for an increasing amount of money for a monthly subscription; "buy this movie only" services dont actually give you shi except for the right to stream it for as long as it stays in their library, even though af course you pay 13,99 as if it was a physical copy of a movie. In addition to that, the FireTV is now completely filled with ads. I am tired of this shitty customer treatment, im sailing.

I am not experienced into local media-sharing and management, so I am looking for advice... What's my best move to replace it?

I thought a good idea would be to buy an unexpensive MiniPC that i can put behind the TV? Is that overkill? But what OS would i put into it? A linux distro I am guessing or Android TV? Is there a way I can interact with it using a remote? Are there instead "better" FireTV sticks (no ads and let users install and watch what they want)?

Gimme advice or share your secret setups please :)
