I’m finding it a little hard to follow your description sorry, but couldn’t you do something like: Outside Internet -> Modem -> Router -> network switch -> devices?

Sounds like you just might need a network switch with more ports.

And I feel like it’s not a good idea to have a modem directly attached to the pc directly unless you’re using it as a router?

we’re all smart here.

Generous assumption.

IMO this headline is very misleading. He says he couldn’t care less about getting in trouble for giving his answer.

I own both Roku and Apple TV.

With Roku, The UI is just riddled with ads. Every time I turn it on I feel like they find another new place to insert more adverts. The UI feels sluggish and I had one remote die on me. The experience is largely solid but I feel less comfortable about what data Roku is mining. I’ll probably replace it with another Apple TV in the future.

As for Apple TV. I’m in the ecosystem ngl. It’s obviously a bit more expensive. There are a lot of settings you can customize. No ads in the UI (except where streaming services insert them of course.) Maybe there might be a solution available.

I’ve had some remote issues though. Sometimes it will start scrolling like crazy after hitting a button once. For some reason my tv turns back on after turning the Apple TV and tv it’s self off. And occasionally the volume buttons decide to not work. I’ll note that I’m currently on beta software so that might be the problem. The model of my tv may be causing issues also.

The apps available are definitely a plus. I don’t really watch YouTube on the tv often. Plex works great on both Roku and Apple TV. There’s a jellyfin app too, but haven’t messed with it a ton. The nice thing about iOS is that the developer community is pretty solid. So there’s a decent chance you may find apps that other platforms wouldn’t ever have. You can check the App Store to see what’s available.

Also: I think I saw somewhere that you need an Apple account (or even an iPhone) for initial set up. That may be an issue to consider. That being said, if your wife uses an iPhone, the ecosystem is largely similar with not a huge learning curve.

And pretty much everything else you buy benefits slave labor in china or elsewhere. You literally can’t escape it. Apple is not the sole problem here.

I’ve enjoyed the Synology OS personally. I’m messing with a custom build with spare parts though.

IMO I think symbology is a good point of entry. I haven’t tried HexOS but it might be pretty good down the line for a no fuss system.

Edit: Sorry just realized the comment was about UGreen. Have my 2 cents about synology anyway. 😇

Yeah but the national security advisor for the United States should know better.

Starlink is useless for people who don’t know how to turn a computer on.

It’s very sad. My grandmother is similarly limited and getting her to learn anything new is next to impossible. There’s so many challenges I’ve had to figure out because of stuff like this.

Let me know when someone does anything about it

How about the transgender kid’s mom who came alone? lol

Just because that’s how it’s always been doesn’t meet it should be immune from change.

I’m not sure if it matters but I can uncheck the check boxes… maybe it’s undoing things in an alternate universe.

I’d argue/expand that the real end goal of a business is to take over the world in some form or fashion. It doesn’t stop at profit. It stops at total control.

I appreciate you’re willing to self reflect

“… why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot? Are we no longer able to appreciate the beauty of the human body?"

Because this is pornography and project 2025 says distributors of porn should be imprisoned. Thats why you’re being scrutinized.

People have gone to prison for less
