Cheaper to just use the wifi access that 99% of TVs will be given.

I'd rather have the often loaded static html running on a server that is optimised for that job, or served from a cache close to the user. The backend can then just serve up the dynamic content and be optimised for that job.

Having the html stored both on a static html site that can be cached and in the code base of a backend server is more complex to me than keeping these concerns separate.

> The server just returns HTML (not JSON, actual HTML)

Thats the thing I don't like. I don't want parts of the structure of my page coming from the backend server. I just want that to send data, as JSON and for the front end to handle that into whatever structure it deems suitable.

That way all of the front end code is in one place.

What does the app give you that the website doesn't? I've never tried it as the website works just fine.

Grindr can still sell your data.

Thats a shame, I used to be able to pass fake location data through on an app by app basis using an Xposded module. That was probably 10 years ago though.

Also it shouldn't be allowed in Supermarkets

I get 404 when I look for pricing of headsnap - https://headsnap.io/pricing

Have you tried installing Launcher Manager? https://www.techdoctoruk.com/launcher-manager-for-android-tv...

I couldn't work out how to do it on my Fire Stick either. But it does work for my Google TV.

Fortunately you can still by an external unit and plug it in

Doubt it, 99% of consumers will connect it to the internet. The remaining 1% will be blocking ads everywhere making the data rather useless and potentially poisoned.

You could install Flauncher or another launcher onto Android TV. Then you don't see ads.

I like rewatching old TV shows and films, streamed from my Jellyfin server.

For me, my rule is to get a Google TV, because I can change out the launcher to Flauncher. At least that way I don't see any ads. Google may well still be tracking me, but they do all over the web and I have an Android phone so they've already got plenty of data on me. I just avoid their ads so that it minimises the profitability of that data.

Linked In

I use it. Works great.

Or create an overview that keeps track of projects across multiple source control providers, using a consistent interface.

To avoid the download our app nonsense, you can add this filter to uBO: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/ref...

If you've already got uBlockOrigin then you can add this to it instead of another extension. Add these filters:

  youtube.com##.ytd-rich-item-renderer:style(max-width:265px; !important;)
  youtube.com##.yt-lockup-metadata-view-model__title:style(display:inline; !important;)

The approach is the equivalent of avoiding the end of aisles so that you don't even look at the products that companies are paying to the store to promote.

> Looking back at my travel history, the train has either been late to arrive or late to get to my destination around 30% of the time. That delays can vary a lot as well between about 10mins (this morning for example) to 30 minutes on average.

That £8.40 will be £6.30 after claiming the delay repay for 30 minute delay. Only happening 30% of the time so that would work out to £7.77

Still it would be better if they were always on time.

> you can walk up to the station and get a train from Manchester to London for £50 return taking about 3h30

To get that price, I've always had to change at Crewe, or buy well in advance. Otherwise, it's £114 return.
