Removing ads from Smart TV YouTube app

I don’t know if this is the correct community to post this. I have a Smart TV from a Greek manufacturer named TurboX. Not Android TV, Smart TV. This means that it has Internet access, has some pre-installed apps, but I can’t install any other apps on it. The menus thankfully don’t have any ads. However, the Youtube app...

terminhell,

My pi-hole has almost 1.4mil+ domains blocked. It doesn’t work on most streaming services. At least in my configuration. It absolutely works everywhere else. And I do have a Roku device in one of the kids rooms. It’s one of the biggest offenders with blocked requests. Telemetry I’d assume, attempted at least.

terminhell,

Does Vivaldi play nice with Wayland? I have it installed (can’t remember if was an rpm or flatpak) but seems to crash kinda often. Sometimes to the point of gnome session restarting. I used to have the opposite problem with my previous PC. All AMD cpu/GPU. Stock fedora 40 gnome.

terminhell,

Fix what? It looks perfect /s

terminhell,

The cabinet and it’s own electronics.

terminhell,

I guess what I meant a bit more specifically are things like buttons, the screen, cables, any daughter boards needed for like special lights, speakers etc. stuff beyond, as you mentioned.

terminhell,

Doesn’t look bad tbh. Though I don’t use VLC too often.

terminhell,

Starfield, but done right?

terminhell,

Is this any different than the legit apps?

/S

terminhell,

Are you sharing this drive with windows machines? It may be better to go exfat or something more neutral in that case.

terminhell,

I prefer KDE for desktops, but gnome for laptops. However I’ve been using gnome on my desktop for a while now. With some minor customizations it’s fine.

terminhell,

Considering the KDE has normally been their flagship edition, I’m wager their working out the final touches.

terminhell,

Hell ya. Been looking forward to this update.

terminhell,

Last I heard, 41?

terminhell,

Ah cool. That’s the release I’ve been looking forward too.

terminhell, (edited )

True privacy is impossible at this point. Born into the system, molded by it…

terminhell,

Go with a classic: Minecraft Java. Bonus - use the prism launcher for mod packs. Vanilla MC is kinda boring (at least once you see all the bonkers stuff mods can add, just like Skyrim XD )

terminhell,

Can confirm the caution here. Bricked a system this way a while back.

terminhell,

I use the percentile die for that.

terminhell,

So this is currently an issue for the non normal workstation/server then?

terminhell,

Jokes on them, I start the pump and walk inside to get a drink/snack. By the time I get back I’m done pumping.

terminhell,

How much of it just Skyrim?

terminhell,

There are still a need for document printing at home. Granted it’s just smaller in scale these days. Mine is mostly used for the kids. Like printing out things to color on, or something educational. On rare occasions I’ll need to print some kinda form, for work or some kinda government form, even event tickets.

That said, I really don’t know anyone that’s looking to photo print at home anymore. It’s just cheaper to have it done somewhere like Walgreens or Walmart.

terminhell,

Lowering screen brightness, turn off keyboard back lighting.

But thing is, on some devices, certain power states just may not work.

terminhell,

Yes

terminhell,

Good, run that into the ground too and be rid of it.

terminhell,

What’s your hardware? Is Ubuntu your only option? Are you wanting to just drive KDE to see what it’s about? Are virtual machines an option?

terminhell,

Maybe that’s one of the issues I experienced on my old PC. To the point of manually suspending Everytime I walked away on my new PC.

terminhell,

Finally. Was something I’ve missed when I was using other distros with kde.

terminhell,

BG3 came in like a wrecking ball. Sucks for all the actual devs though.

terminhell,

How much good attention it’s gotten. No microtransactions, season passes etc. It’s called a ton of attention to all the AAA enshitification since it’s released.

So, I’d imagine those studios are scrambling to shift gears.

terminhell,

My new PC has 64g ram. But I’m also not using or plan to use windows. Checkmate M$!

But in all seriousness, 8g is like, the foundational minimum these days. Sad tbh. Browsers are so bloated these days. I’m surprised that browsers haven’t become their own OS yet. It kinda feels that way in some environments.

terminhell,

ChromeOS is more of an OS built to optimize a browser though. Its close though.

terminhell,

Well, your not too off. Like ASICs are made for mining cryptocurrency. Specialized processing designed for specific computations. This indeed make it’s efficiency greater than a general purpose CPU.

terminhell,

It has that wire to output audio on both speakers? That’s the green one btw. The pink is for mic input. USB could be for a few different things depending on the features that particularl set has.

Edit: Nvm, thought the question was for a headset, not a microphone. Unless the mic was part of a headset or something. Idk, other comments may have the answer.

terminhell,

Glad I don’t really watch content anymore. Though, between the Roku TV my kid has, and the big Samsung TV in our living room…my pihole is constantly hammered by both of them.

terminhell,

I just wish the games that are remade/remastered are basically just graphic updates, with some bug fixes and minor qol additions. That’s it. Not like what they did to ff7.

Hell, diablo 2 Remaster was good. The addition of being able to swap between new and old graphics on the fly is amazing tbh.

terminhell,

Is this just a solar powered distillery? Seems like thunderf00t has done several videos on things like this before…

terminhell,

The game came out in 2021. There are far older games from other publishers still up and getting updates. Stop giving these pump-and-dump games your money.

terminhell,

When they started selling always online games.

When Product Markets Become Collective Traps: The Case of Social Media (bfi.uchicago.edu)

Those findings are crazy. I’ve never been social media addicted, been into luxury or general show-off brands (I pay extra to not look like I’m an advertisement… for anything but metal bands), so I don’t really know much about those issues.

terminhell,

I really miss the mid 90’s / early 2k chats and forums. I still occasionally use irc. Back when the most personal info anyone could be reasonably asked for was “asl?”

They’ve turned us into the product and consumer. A snake ever hungry, eating it’s own tail.

terminhell,

I wonder if MS is more interested in the Activision side. MW/King etc. I think blizzard is just a baggage addon at this point.

terminhell,

Don’t sleep on fedora either. Combined with flatpak, you’ll have a more up to date system.

terminhell,

It doesn’t have to be done that way. From my understanding, fedora does it that way as a safety environment or something (could be wrong). But you can absolutely just do a dnf upgrade and keep on going. It’s the software center that invokes that reboot to install the updates.

terminhell,

Not exactly, though I see your point. I think it would be more accurate if McDonald’s charged for ketchup, mustard, salt, drink cups, lids, straws etc.

terminhell,

Maybe one day Baldurs Gate 3 will have the Tortle race(mods surely before official). Then just make a full party of Tortle monks. No micro transactions needed XD

But ok a serious note, and full disclosure, I’ve never played this game. But it’s a big part of why I’m never touching Diablo 4. This ‘generation’ of game monetization is deplorable.

terminhell,

I think this will vary too much between OS and hardware. For me, Vulkan feels better overall. Dx11 looks slightly better but less performant.

But I’m running all AMD hardware, Linux steam with proton.

terminhell,

Fedora and Wayland for me. So idk.
