Definitely not blocking here… but… I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube’s T&C’s or EU law?

Whatever happened to zeronet? Wasn’t that supposed to do that with many services as well as the whole thing in general?

I’m guessing it just never got enough users.

What’s realistically the closest to YouTube today? Like Lemmy, small acorns need bigger communities 😁 Slow, but it’ll happen. It’s also not a bad thing to have people used to switching platforms every x amount of years. That aside, does a VPN work, or Newpipe?

I’m in EU, not getting any ads yet on Firefox or Newpipe.

I’m not doubting that the shield TV would be a superior box. But just that I wouldn’t buy a used one, and for the money the Nokia box is a great box, well built until OP can decide to buy a new shield or at least wait until new shield is mentioned or released.

This can only be a bad thing.

They will win and like live nation, will merge with more well placed companies until they are printing their own money.

Have a look at the Nokia TV Box. Great bit of kit. Sturdy and well built remote. I wouldn’t buy a used shield for sure. And the old Nvidia shield is pretty much the same spec as the latest one IIRC. There’s not much between them. The shield often drops in price on Amazon too (Europe).

I haven’t heard of anything newer coming out soon from Nvidia and for the price difference I would definitely go for the Nokia, allowing you to also save your cash if Nvidia do bring out a new version.
