    The Verge is nothing but an advertiser for big tech. the TV Streamer would be fine if they hadn’t killed their entire line of Chromecast at the same time

    $100 and it doesn’t even include the HDMI cable?

    Now that every TV is a smart TV who’s the target audience?

      I buy devices like Apple TV to replace the built in shitty smart tv functionality on smart tvs. I do not want ads so I do not connect my tv to the internet, and instead connect my streaming box.

        Yes but this offers the exact same functionality and built-in ads/tracking that you will find in any androidtv based smarttv.

        They even list having ads (recommended shows on a service that you aren’t subscribed are ads, not recommendations) that cover 80% of the home screen as a feature

          If you’re the CIA, then you don’t need to own Google in order to use their intelligence.

          Who do you think gave us the technology for GPS

          US Navy.

          NAVSTAR started in the 70s…

          CIA

          Why do Cookers always ascribe this most useless agency with so much power?
