No apple TV please. Needs to support some kind of casting, and the addition of whatever googles casting is would be nice (for an oculus)

    Explain setting up a Raspberry Pi to your aunt and have her tell me it’s a low pricw. Let alone lineage os, Jellyfin, Smart tube, and whatever else was in your list. And that solves just casting and steaming. Now do email, messages, browser tracking and fingerprinting, and everything else in our lives… It a lot. And honestly too much.

      Yep, I’m with you on that. I’m actually pretty tech-literate, and even I don’t have the time/energy to bother with all of that shit. That’s a lot of work and maintenance just for a single task that I want to be as idle as possible. Watching videos should just be two clicks, not studying and building and troubleshooting and updating and configuring a dozen things.
