Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

If the Youtube player is giving you trouble, check out this Android App (alternative FDroid Repo) or the tool it's based on (GitHub).

I need to finally figure out which client’s most stable for Kodi, cause even though I’m freeloading on a friend’s YouTube platinum account, the official TV app’s still an incredibly unpleasant experience even without ads

SmartTV is still a missing link for me too. A Kodi RaspberryPi hooked up via HDMI seems viable.

I wish I could just flash the firmware with a Linux and reinstall the Apps I need, but the whole ecosystem seems way too intransparent, and I'm not a passionate hardware hacker.
