[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children) What do you recommend instead for $30-40? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tslojr@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 months ago* One of the Onn streaming devices from Walmart. Picked one up last month to replace an old Fire Stick, and it's been great. Runs stock (or close enough to it) GoogleTv and it only cost about $40. Downloaded Projectivy Launcher and set it as my default home app, so no more home screen ads. Will probably end up throwing ReVanced on it, too. And when Google inevitably pisses me off enough, I can unlock the bootloader and try my hand at flashing a custom ROM without any Google Play services. permalink fedilink source parent [–] artyom@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago* Yeah like the other guy said. One of the ONN devices with Projectivity Launcher to get rid of ads and organize your apps in a sane manner. permalink fedilink source parent
