Between this and Amazon's recent nonsense with Firetv I think next time I'll just buy a generic Android box or something, maybe even a mini PC.

    I spend the last couple weeks looking Into modded boxes and anti ad options and I came to the conclusion that a mini pc with wireless keyboard and mouse is the way to go. No special nonsense required. It's super easy to just find whatever I wanna watch online for free anyways and I don't need any special program or knowledge.

    Now my next issue is between finding a dumb TV or a solid affordable projector. I mostly use the TV for movie nights anyways, I game on my pc and watch most stuff on my pc too.

    Yeah I'm leaning that direction but I'm also quite attracted to whatever the newest raspberry pi can do.

    Mini PC might be easier but yeah I think either way a sbc will be my choice whether it's a Ryzen sbc or something else like a raspberry pi I'm honestly not sure.

    Can state for a fact it won't be any amazon or roku device but that's about all.
