As time goes by, I hate capitalism more and more.
That too!
Netflix doesn't want you to browse it's library for free .. because you'll realize it's 98% shit
98%? You’re being generous.
I'm talking about shows like Squid Game. Arcane, Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy (minus S4), Love Death and Robots and Castlevania...
...that's the 2%
Top tip: you can have all your shows in one place if you use Jellyfin. ☠️
Enshitification continues unabated.
I can understand why'd they'd feel this way. Apple is mostly a closed platform with overpriced hardware. I'm surprised Apple hasn't started packaging bottles of air yet while claiming it is premium air. Apple cultist would pay for it.
How many Apple cultists have you actually met in reality?
As an Apple and Linux user, all the people I know that will"throw money" at new apple hardware have enough to not care. They're not power users, they just want something simple and reliable, and apple hardware checks those boxes. The actual apple fans I know are buying refurb, using oclp to keep old machines going longer, or just wait until there's some form of price drop.
I think it's also worth noting to this person that the apple tv hardware costs LESS than a shield tv. But that head is likely so firmly rooted in their own ass that it'd take an auger to remove it.
I’m thinking about buying an Apple TV because I don’t like the built-in software on my TV, and “big corp that isn’t Google” sounds like a reasonable compromise between privacy and integration with big media providers.
It's the best available option. Which IMO describes almost all apple products. They are FAR from perfect. They are absolutely overpriced. The support has gone WAY downhill. But for privacy, durability, build quality, longevity, performance, reliability, ease of use, interoperability, and yes; support, they are the best thing out there.
Apple TV is currently the best streaming box available and has been for a while. It’s also cheaper than other high-end options while providing excellent functionality.
They're pretty solid honestly. I chose a shield over one bc at the time I wanted some apps that required side loading, but now that I have an emby server that's moot. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the touch remote, but they still have a remote app so I can just use my phone instead.
