So. I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I’ll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this? Which has more adds, and can it be blocked via DNS? Further read that Firestick could be jailbreaked, that has my interest 🦊

    I never could figure out why Roku got to be so popular. It’s not the best at anything, it’s just decent at the like 1-2 things that it tries to do. But so is just about everything else out there these days. You can’t sideload things on it, the UI is just sorta…there. It’s not configurable at all. It just exists. I’ve tried pretty much so every major media streamer out there and the Roku is, by far, my least favorite. It’s not really bad, it’s just not very good either.
