It's a neat website, but it is very America specific.

For example, I'm Australian and I wasn't taught about slavery or genocide of our native people in high school. Hell, I was taught that the Stolen generation was a misnomer and children were only taken voluntarily or as an act of mercy... I graduated in 2008 so it wasn't exactly the dark ages. Referring to the planned exterminations of the natives as "battles" and "conflicts" at best was another one. they didn't even mention the shit that went down in Tasmania.

it's not just the dumb stuff like food pyramids and taste zones, even in schools today history is being glossed over

Just a heads up that the paid version of Fully Kiosk Browser has a wake-via-camera motion option built in, and with the HA integration you can also do wake via PIR or some other input, or use the motion detection of the camera as an input to HA for further automation.

Personally, I use a bit of abandoned android software (I forget the name at the moment) that lets me use a node based system to connect the proximity sensor with the screen wake based on whatever variables work, so that works for me, but my touch panel is running an older version of android so it might not work with everything.

That's what FMD does. I give it a list of series to follow and the preferred source for them and it just downloads the lot as fast as it can and checks for updates regularly.

It's kind of like sonarr for manga and comics.

Wait to you find out what we call a corn dog

Man I'm not super Into fashion but call of the night had some great ones.

Normal people with a normal TV or basic soundbar can get by with just a Google TV chromecast if they have a good network or use an Ethernet adaptor add on.

The shield is still the go to device for more advanced home theater setups though. Add a flirc for integration into universal remote setups.

Used to be that a full HTPC was the best but they just can't compete these days with their poor DV and Atmos support and the hoops you need to jump through to get that working properly, they're good for kodi and madvr though.

Yea I usually tell people if they just have a normal TV with built in speakers or a basic soundbar to just get the chromecast or an Apple TV if they are in the Apple sphere.

I recommend the shield pro to those with more serious home theater setups every time though.

well. that was a ride and a half.

Hope we see more AT sooner than later, there were some mentions of potential 1000+ content, but I don't know if they were just referencing the segment we saw here or it's own thing, that world has a lot to expand upon.

Some adviser somewhere is absolutely cacking themselves laughing at the dud information he gave here.

Or use the komga add on for tachiyomi to download the series and read off-line. I've never had to do that as I've never not had internet on my devices

Man I really want something in the full size form factor but with a CPU closer to a zero2, basically I want a pi3 modernised and cost optimised, not another more powerful pi.

What I'd like to see is something like an updated and optimised ~pi3-spec device with EMMC or an m.2 sata slot. Yes I know I can put a pi zero2 into a breakout board, but they connect via USB and that severely limits performance.

I recently decommissioned my pis (2x 3b and 1x 4b) and replaced them all with a single intel n95 based NUC (which cost less than a single pi4 8gb at the time) and I didn't need any real gpio other than some serial ports, but if the right device came along with reliable storage I'd consider moving back to pis.
