Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap (www.businessinsider.com)

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

I'd love a distro for raspi etc that made onroading to pirating really easy. like LibreElec for Raspberry Pi is great, but you have to manually verify the debrid and trakt in settings, i need something boomer-friendly. Like, first run, it gives a debrid verification url prompt, waits for it, then trakt, waits for it, then asks like "which of these popular shows do you like" and offers suggestions to start

Nah that's okay, I much prefer it with the barriers to entry. Making it bang simple for all the normies is how this shit gets locked down and much more difficult for the rest of us.

I use syncler on my android TV. you put in your real debrid and it's basically like a normal streaming service...especially if you have the option to autoselect the best source.
