Great, I got rid of Amazon fire stick after they stuck ads in movies and got a Roku.
Now I'll have to switch again or start pirating. Another loss for civilization
And they wknder why piracy is skyrocketing again. It’s not hard, dipshits. Fuck.
Worst part are the psychopath lawyer trolls acting like we're violent criminals just for non-voilently CLICKING A DOWNLOAD link. So glad that Sony lawsuit they sunk major cash into failed.
Used a fire TV stick for a long time but multiple factors made me finally switch to an Nvidia shield.
Worked great for a year and then an OS updated made the home screen 60% ads, especially those that started to play with sound when I was on them for like 2 milliseconds. Installed projectify on it and now I only see what I want to see.
It is always disturbing to me how much ads I see when I am using someone else's system, because I banned everything at home.
