So. I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I'll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this? Which has more adds, and can it be blocked via DNS? Further read that Firestick could be jailbreaked, that has my interest 🦊

This is what I've been wanting to do, however, I still don't think there's any easy way to stream high quality content from streaming services due to DRM. I've already been experiencing this with my fancy new monitor, it is a very good monitor, but no streaming services allow higher than 1080p (or even 720p) video or HDR on PC, except for Netflix using the Windows app. Pirated content looks great with a 21:9 QD-OLED monitor though. For now I've just been using a Google TV Chromecast, which allows sideloading Android TV apps like the Fire stick.
