I can’t believe there isn’t a good HTPC OS that can handle launching Netflix, prime, plex, whatever.

I haven’t used Kodi in a few year but at least then Kodi and the big apps didn’t play well together.

Pihole?

I acknowledge that these devices are subsidized by ads. However, roku shows you ads but they are off to the side and don’t impact the experience of using the device.

FireTV devices are so aggressive with their ads and terrible UI that I’m fully off them (I actually still have 1).

Hey Amazon, I was a HUGE advocate for you. I help setup countless older family/friends devices for them. I told them that FireTVs were the devices to have.

I have moved 100% to roku. The reason for this that you’re UI is ads 1st and apps 2nd. If you’re redesigning I beg and plead that you take a good look at what Roku is going right. You could do it better and fully whip them out (I hope not because competition is good).

I feel like this isn’t a fanboy situation. If he actually goes through will this and people get fucked up the hammer will fall hard and fast.

This really might be the one that gets him. It’s one thing when self driving doesn’t quite work right or when that tunnel project gets abandoned. If they install these things and people get seriously hurt (I know cars can hurt people) it’s going to be a shit storm.

I haven’t looked into point to point wireless in a few years. Seems like this could be a use. One person pays and then blasts that connection to the whole neighborhood.

Otherwise there is zero residential need for these speeds.

What does “will get upgraded” mean here. I have google fiber on the 1gig plan. I pay $70 a month and they email nearly weekly asking if I’ll upgrade to the 2gig for $100. 1gig is plenty for me but if I can take 20gig for $70 I guess I’ll take the upgrade.

Same. And they send me an email every few weeks to see if I’ll upgrade to 2gig. I pretty damn happy with just the 1gig. I can’t imagine what I’d do with 20gig.

I’m all for insane early adopters to iron out kinks I’d stuff like this. I’m sure we’ll need these speeds at some point but I can’t imagine the average people will in the 15-20 years.

I’d say this is more bandwidth then my entire road would need in total.

I’m all about thinking ahead but this seems insane. Really struggling to think of a home use need this these speeds.

I run a relatively small server for family and friends and I haven’t moved to 2gig plan because even that seems like overkill.

I found this tread on that old site where it seems like others are experiencing the same as me. Doesn’t look like there was any resolution…

I still want to see a badass version of the Kim Dotcom whole fiasco

Thanks. I’m all up to date on phone and app updates so it’ll be weird if this is a me thing.

Do you have a bunch of music? Wondering if it just does the first 12 letters or something.

You mean you’re able to get to white zombie from within CarPlay, right?

Boom, still got it

If you can find me a better way to acquire a 20x Queen sheet I’m all ears.

I call it a queens harem sheet.

What is the complaint about YouTube music. I got it for free and it’s pretty good. Maybe not perfect but I don’t big beef about it.
