I can’t recommend the Google TV/Chromecast if you have to interact with multiple apps or plan on using the Discover screen or search. The remote is finicky and feels cheap and the device itself is totally underpowered for Google TV. Its Amlogic SoC is slow as fuck and often drops frames and the 2GB of memory are barely enough to keep the bloated interface in memory while the storage is often full even after just installing a few apps. It has gotten a bit better after even Google had to admit that performance was abysmal but the optimizations just fixed the most obvious shortcomings.

I have sinced unsubscribed from all streaming services and just rely on the put.io app on Google TV to handle my media consumption needs and it is good enough for that. So if you just need the Stremio app (which I haven’t used myself) to access local content, you should be fine. I never saw it struggle with 4k HDR content nor did I encounter A/V sync issues.

Did it really make him look weak, though? He’s consolidated the military under the MoD umbrella, his comradery with Lukashenko likely improved, the West is admitting that Ukraine is running out of ammo (thus the cluster ammunition) and he (or rather Lukashenko) has a strong private army close to the Ukrainian border, about 90km from Kiev.

The only people claiming his weakness were some Western officials and the press and both haven’t been particularly trustworthy nor well informed in their assessments of the situation thus far.

Edit: Not to forget that Prigozhin made it clear that his problems weren’t with Putin but with MoD leadership/Shoigu.

Thanks to the admins!

Yeah, sure, there are no stockpiles hidden somewhere by secret services or criminal enterprises. 🤔

Polarization and disinformation are pushing EU voters towards populist parties. And for that, there is no easy solution.

Wow, that’s quite the ignorant statement to make in a world where people are forced to vote for more extreme parties because the more center parties have been in power without any real results due to corruption and incompetence. That doesn’t make the extreme choice the better one but in a system where you’re only able to impact reality at scale by being allowed to vote for rich people with big marketing budgets, well, the only other option is not to play at all.

NAFO trolls downvoting every voice critical of Ukraine, I see you.

Russia has been making the same claims against Ukraine since at least november 2022 in front of the UN.

Such an attack would benefit Ukraine since it’s more likely to cause NATO to get involved. Don’t forget that.
