Why won't anyone make a privacy focused premium streaming box with no ads? I'd pay so much for this thing that will never exist.
Apple TV is a premium streaming box without ads. The privacy aspect is less clear, but probably better than Samsung, Google and Roku that are all harvesting data.
An open source solution would be better.
I love how dividing by an unknown somehow makes a bigger number for you. The bias is leaking.
Apple chargers more and isn't openly selling data (Samsung) or openly selling ads (Google). The commercial activity provides some insight here, that suggests Apple is better for privacy.
Mainly because the major streaming services wouldn't allow their platforms to run on it.
I don't use major streaming services. I just want something that runs NewPipe and Jellyfin. Lol
We need a fediverse streaming service.
Torrent? PeerTube?
For paid options I see no sense in decentralization. But a standard protocol for rental tied with some protocol for payments (like GNU Taler) to rent movies from any source with one tap and no install would be cool.
Until then, a Raspberry Pi or SFF PC will do the job just fine. They even work with remotes if you get an IR receiver for them.
How do you set up the IR receiver? I would like to use Linux if possible. It's often such a pain to set up things like this. Took me forever to get my Xbox controller to pair.
I've used LIRC in the past. Takes a bit of setup, but it works well once you get it going.
Thanks for that. Were you ever able to get something like this to power a device on from a full shut down?
Edit: power on using the remote.
Because people won't pay for it. We are in the minority.
