Would the $20 ONN sticks from Walmart work better for you?

I have an puck-style device of theirs which is just an Amtel SoC with GoogleTV Android on it. Probably doesn't get updates but then you don't let them have unfettered access to the Internet either.

I've sideloaded Jellyfin, SmarTube-Next, etc.

I used to have a half dozen Fire sticks and have removed all but one, in a kid's bedroom. They haven't banned Jellyfin ... yet... but aren't they dropping Android as well?

Yes, but half the people have below-average intelligence.

We won't have a stable society if they're constantly scammed.

And I know some High-IQ people with no street smarts who got scammed by "Raj from Microsoft Support".

Really some dude from a trailer park might have a better BS detector, having lived a less coddled existence.

It seems exceptionally weird that people have started writing as though "AI"'s needs are just axiomatic; and that the size of other things, like revenue or suckers with available capital, must be the problem.

The fact that you want something that costs more than you have isn't normally described as a 'funding gap'; it's just you having expensive tastes that you can't afford. Why are talking about there being X trillion in 'demand' when, in fact, there's only X trillion in unfunded hype because nobody has slapped a shock collar on Altman yet?

It looks weirdly like some sort of baby transport accessory. Maybe perfect for iphone air users hoping that a warm, soothing, environment conducive to frequent suckling will help their purchase recover developmentally normal weight?

Everyone dies one day. And the main thing about a personalist dictatorship is that when the dictator croaks the whole system usually follows unless the dictator manages to install their child as the successor.
Besides, these three stooges don't want to be a part of any multinational union since that would seriously limit their power.
