Chromecast with Google TV is now serving full-screen, auto-playing Chicken Tender Wrap ads

Download another launcher, set it as default home, and forget about google's excessive ads. Depending on your model, you may need to run an ADB command. You may need to get a remote remapper app to remap the home button to open the launcher

I am using this one for my android tv https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu

And flauncher for my chromecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.efesser.flauncher

looking for my next thinkpad

The t480 was the last thinkpad with a useable CPU and a rich feature set (dual battery, removable battery, replaceable ram, ability to use a 2nd SSD via the wan slot). Linux support is great and libreboot support was just released for it.

I also have a newer amd x13 thinkpad. Sure the overall performance is better but the keyboard is not as good, s3 sleep battery drain sucks, and it takes forever to boot up

What is your favorite mod?

The Fallout London mod for Fallout 4 was incredible. It's like a an entire new game for free. They really captured the spirit of the Fallout universe. Better than anything Bethesda put out in the past couple years

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour

Reply in thread

I have a gigabit internet plan with Comcast , cost me $80 a month. And yes there is a 1.2tb data cap each month. Every 50gb that you go over, you are automatically charged an additional $10. Oh I'll just choose another ISP...nope Comcast is the only option in my town. Not unless I want 5G cell Internet or satellite which is not super reliable or fast.

What OS are you using and why?

Currently using Unraid. I like the docker management, plugin support, and the flexibility with adding storage. But I do already have a lifetime license that I got for cheap a few years back. They've raised the price significantly since then

If I had to choose today, I'd go with TrueNAS Scale

What's the best piracy for music?

Download mp3 or flac from artists you like. Install jellyfin or plex on an old PC, laptop, or raspberry pi and store the music there. Install finamp or plexamp on your phone. And you got your own personal spotify that you can access from anywhere
