The picture is bullshit, most people taking voluntary severance would be giving each other high-five’s and pumping the air.

“Could”. I’m sure it’s a fucken certainty.

Instead of Alphabet, they should’ve called the company Undertakers, because they’ve got a lot of experience dealing with dead apps and services.

Immich, is probably what you’re thinking of.

I am using the default launcher and while I get ads for TV shows in the home screen, I do not get ads for third-party products like chicken wraps. I can also watch Youtube without getting third-party ads during or in-between videos. I assume given this is not BS, the ads are not being served from the same domain as the video.

I run a Pihole, no ads.

Been there done that. I prefer the Nvidia Shield, easier interface to navigate with a remote, I don’t have to login first, it rarely needs an update, no noisy fans, I don’t need to keep a physical keyboard connected to it, it’s way cheaper, I don’t need to mess around with codecs, and there aren’t a lot of unnecessary services and background applications hogging memory and cpu resources.

I get that most of this can be fixed or worked around on a htpc, but that’s effort I don’t have to spend on a Shield.
