I have a 2021 mfg one NIB that I got as a giveaway. I can’t guarantee it will work but I will try and followup.

I have one of these sitting new in box unopened. If I have time later I will give this a try.
EDIT: To answer what you said, the reason you might want to do this is that this hardware doesn’t need to be chromecasted to by a phone or laptop or something. It can have native apps installed directly on it, and be controlled via your normal TV remote control.
Granted I haven’t tested this yet to see if it works with the alternative OS.
It would be truly awesome to have a degoogled streaming device that you could sideload apps on, use your regular TV remote with CEC etc. Even better if you could use alternative apps to get ad free YouTube streaming.
In contrast, for the unmodded device, the default GoogleTV setup and UI is horrible. You have to manually remove all the garbage apps you don’t want. It still shows you suggested banners of terrible content exclusive to certain apps that you don’t even have installed.
If a parrot is on its perch, can it lead a standup meeting?
Scummy practice by Zamzar. The actual FOSS app by Adrien Allard is awesome and very lightweight. https://file-converter.io is the correct FOSS version URL.
Probably a bunch of hacked together Python to copy stuff between fileshares. Bonus points if it runs with a .bat file and a Windows scheduled task.
SNES 9x ran great on systems of this era. I spent days playing all the Megaman titles and save-scumming or scanning memory to make infinite health cheats.
Wait til he finds out that people still use IRC and Usenet for filesharing too…
Seems OK with BT in the sense they do not throttle traffic etc. Using basic prevention measures like private trackers and port randomization will get you far here. If you are using public torrent sites I would probably use a seedbox or torrent friendly VPS host… Then your ISP will only see SSH traffic from your machine to the box.
Care to elaborate on what is wrong with Brax? I don’t use his services but his video content seems to be a decent way to get normies on the path to thinking about privacy issues.
Another hilarious benefit of running Graphene.
And there are notorious “blockers” - publishers and bands who copyright strike and remove all third party videos using their music. Reference Rick Beatos various videos and rants on this topic.
Do you get irritated when Americans refer to the famous Austrian bullpup rifle as the Steyr “Ogg”?
Yay private trackers I guess.
This is what dying of cringe in text message format looks like.
