Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.
And you’re an idiot…
First off, e-bay is where you go for used stuff… we’re talking brand new.
Second, even if you were able to find a brand new NUC on e-bay, you’re not gonna find a NUC or personal PC that will have the same or better performance and offerings without making tons of concessions. If you want to prove me wrong… I’ll wait all fucking day. There’s a reason the PC isn’t considered the same as a set-top box and there is an entire market for set-top-boxes.
Option 1: Locked down but ready to use shit box that shows you annoying ass ads against your control
Option 2: A full ass computer for slightly more that let’s you do anything you want, watch anything you want, full control over ads or anything else, but takes some extra steps to get going.
Sure man, if you want the ready to use shit box, have at it. I’ll stick with the clearly better option 2, personally.
If you want to sling insults, let me know, I’m pretty good at it.
I’ve been using nuc and pc’s for years for all my tv’s. I have a 10 dollar wireless keyboard that works great as a remote.
I think you might need some fresh air, you seem awfully upset over being called out for YOUR BULLSHIT. Have a nice day, prick.
