It would be beter to educate then ban outright IMO. If you ban the device outright kids will be sneaky about it. When I was still in school we hat smartphones and used it from time to time. Great tool for meeting with friends from other classes. Sending a message to your parents you can leave early or something. Outright banning phones is IMO stupid and only makes the problem worse. We should teach kids to be responsible instead.

Replace everything? Not what I said. But moving over to I2P for piracy would be good.

Your ISP can’t really block it. No DNS needed Doesnt need any form of VPN.

It is not as fast as the clear web. That’s true. But if you are willing to wait a bit longer for something you are fine.

we shut have migrated to I2P already IMO. So if you have not already look in to I2P.

Often you can just send them a email about the behavior, Using their generic contact info.

Yeah if you setup the firewall correctly you can access the TV but the TV can’t access anything it self.

And that’s why I have a VLAN without outbound connections allowed. Still allows me to cast to the device from a separate vlan but the TV has no internet at all.

Kodi with the jellycon add-on, does require a jellyfin setup though.

If you dont mind live TV that is. While possible on kodi it is a bit more work.

I think GOS is established enough it can pull through. Won’t be easy at all though.

I do hope Motorola can give some good official support as a manufacturer.

I got a Minis forum S100 PC stick. It does work well with kodi. But! It can be a load of work to get going. This device is using a UFS storage chip. So not all distros will install on it by default and require some tweaks to load kernel modules at boot. I use the device with alpine Linux and kodi GBM on top (libreelec doesnt see the storage device).

Also keep a eye out for what the CPU supports on these lower end chips. Not all of them have great hardware decoding support.

The colored logo I think? Google hat the letters also colored for a long time.
