#Trouble with vlc streamer setup helper windows 10 password#
The best part is I no longer have to try and put in a 12 character password with mixed case, numbers and symbols over a freaking TV remote. Plus I can play steam games on it, set a fun screensaver. I can stream Hulu if I had an account, I can watch my Disney+, I can watch youtube, I can watch Netflix if I wanted to. I put the youtube, PBS Kids, and Disney+ (which we later removed) icons on the side so the kids can use it easy. Spent an hour throwing Ubuntu on it, and now bam, works like a charm. I got fed up with the madness of all the streaming sticks, and putting in my password with a crappy remote and ended up dropping $300 on an old desktop from a discount computer store. Why can't you just plug a Linux box into your TV and use that? I deal enough with that at work to be turned off from dealing with that at home when I just want to chill and consume whatever nonsense I'm into. Sure other platforms are "open" or might have more advanced features, but I don't want to waste my time doing tech support having the BeenThereDoneThat™ patch.Įdit to add: "open" usually just means you have countless versions of "standards" to try and get things to interoperate. There are seamless transitions from device to device if I want, sharing between them is a breeze. Once you're in the Apple walled garden things are much easier on me as an end user. AppleTV devices are much better than others.
The last Windows laptop I bought bricked itself in a week, the Amazon stick needed constant reboots, I don't care about side-loading apps/widgets/software on my devices - I want them to be like my refrigerator and just work. to the point where my non-tech spouse could use it like a set top box. Back in the days when TiVo was a thing, I built a MythTV box including all the troubleshooting of a capture card, X windows settings, getting a remote to work, etc.
