- ocd 2mo agoAs much as I hate Apple for what they've done to the average consumer in regards to computing, it would be just impossible and dishonest to say anything other than Apple is the outright winner in streaming devices. The experience is so smooth.
- ghostly_s 2mo agoConsidering their recent decision to give up on building Apple Maps into a serious contender and instead enshittify it with ads, I don't have much faith Apple TV will be far behind.
- dhosek 2mo agoOne hopes that the new CEO will realize the turn towards ads is ruining the Apple brand and pull back on that front.
- inigyou 2mo agoHa! No company has ever reversed enshittification.
- dhosek 2mo agoAlthough Apple did undo the touchbar (although I think they gave up on it too soon—I actually liked it once they restored the esc key. I can never remember what all the F-keys are supposed to do and getting an app-specific set of graphical choices made more sense to me.
- trouve_search 2mo agoThe nvidia shield is pretty damn good as well, even if old at this point.
- wewtyflakes 2mo agoThere are plenty of ads on Apple TV; huge banners right at the top of the UI, and ads that launch before you get to see the content of a show with no way to automatically disable them (you have to manually click through or just wait it out). It is infuriating (to me).
- ls612 2mo agoApple TV the app has ads for Apple TV shows. Apple TV the device doesn’t have ads built in.
- wewtyflakes 2mo agoThe TV app is baked into the device and is automatically focused if you press up too many times on the remote (and thereby triggering the large banner ads).
