I've not looked into it much other than seeing it in this video by Jeff Geerling and making a mental note for next time I'm in the market for a TV but it may be of interest to you.

I'm sorry I can't provide more details than that, but it's basically a digital signage TV designed to run 24/7 for years, and as such is actually built without the absolute bargain basement parts that go into consumer units.

Get a non-consumer TV if you can. They're more expensive but are actually built to last, have way more features and you can swap in whatever compute board you want so you're not stuck with an underpowered Android TV board.

It's not just large amounts of money. It's chasing more and more money each quarter, and when it starts slowing down panic sets in and they start trying to find any and every possible avenue to keep profits up. It's how we've ended up in subscription based hell and it'll only get worse.

This coming down the line finally got me off of my incredibly lazy ass and forced me to switch a few months ago. It was easy, and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

Titan mode was my absolute favourite and nothing since has filled that gap

It might even be a bit simpler than that, as YouTube's going to have to mark segments as adverts somehow so you can't just skip past them.

The BPI-WIFI6 is currently half price and good value for what you get imo. Not sure on true performance yet as I need to rewire my house but it's way more reliable than any of my other routers at least.

I don't think you need a netrunner to plug a mouse into the pc behind the monitor and hit "Leave" on the (I assume) Zoom call.

Even easier, unplug the ethernet cable.

Pretty sure it's a Nexus 4 from 2012, and that shipped with Jellybean so it's highly likely.

Technically no, but you can gain stock access to these permissions without root using AppOps and Shizuku to fine tune permissions.

Used it so I could listen to audio from a camera as a baby monitor whilst still being able to play YouTube videos.

I'd recommend DeArrow to get rid of this. I've set it to just pull a thumbnail from the middle of the videos, and the titles are community edited to remove the massively clickbaity ones (if the channel is big enough).

It even comes in ReVanced so you can remove them on mobile too.

Yeah, you can plug it into a few external services like OpenAI or even use a local LLM like LocalAI. Not used either, but I know it's possible.
