[2071.68 → 2078.14] it's open source. So it's free as in speech and it is also free as in beer. Um, the reason I thought |
[2078.14 → 2083.20] it wasn't free is because it has this little nag screen that says you do not have a valid |
[2083.20 → 2088.56] subscription for this server. And all that simply means is you have the enterprise repos enabled, |
[2088.56 → 2094.92] which are some air quotes, better tested packages. I don't know quite what that testing entails, |
[2094.92 → 2099.96] but that's what the Proxmox team say anyway. Um, and so you can support the project and give |
[2099.96 → 2106.16] them money, and they will enable your server to get rid of that nag message, or you could use |
[2106.16 → 2110.70] automation. You could use, I've written an Ansible role, which several of our community |
[2110.70 → 2115.88] have now contributed to as well, because open source is just that awesome. And what that does |
[2115.88 → 2121.10] is it goes in and removes the repos for you, changes a couple of lines in the, uh, web UI |
[2121.10 → 2127.66] files on the Proxmox system and removes the nag for you automatically. Just one more use case for |
[2127.66 → 2134.24] automation. And speaking of automation, we want to mention our friends over to Cloud Guru have a |
[2134.24 → 2138.80] course that we'll have linked in the show notes just for you. It's the Red Hat certified specialist |
[2138.80 → 2144.52] in advanced automation and Ansible best practices. In this course, they're going to cover the topics |
[2144.52 → 2150.02] on the EX447 exam as well to make sure you're ready to take that. If you're planning on expanding |
[2150.02 → 2153.36] your Ansible knowledge, this is a great course for you. You'll have a better understanding |
[2153.36 → 2158.96] of the topics on the exam and around Ansible and Ansible tower and managing and Ansible inventory. |
[2159.02 → 2163.72] And of course, templates as well. So you'll have to go over to our show notes to get the link to go |
[2163.72 → 2169.68] directly to this course. That of course is over at self-hosted. Show slash 49. You'll see the link for |
[2169.68 → 2174.50] ACG and that'll take you to the Red Hat certified specialist in advanced automation for Ansible best |
[2174.50 → 2184.84] practices. Did you get the update to your shield yet? Alex, I am so, so disappointed in this. I loved |
[2184.84 → 2190.20] the Nvidia shield so much. I've bought three of them in total. Furthermore, I've recommended them to the audience. |
[2190.20 → 2198.04] And I know that some people out there have also noticed that Nvidia has decided to improve your |
[2198.04 → 2203.86] experience by taking the top row, which used to be reserved for your favourite applications, |
[2203.86 → 2213.68] and now put full wide advertisements right there at the top, including folks in bondage, |
[2214.12 → 2219.64] folks doing all kinds of like crazy things like, you know, guns and violence and smoking. Like I've seen |
[2219.64 → 2225.46] the whole range. Thankfully, you know, we're not really that kind of, uh, we, we don't, it doesn't |
[2225.46 → 2229.12] really bother me that much. And it's in my bedroom. It's not like it's a the family uses it all the |
[2229.12 → 2235.52] time, but I really do not like the fact that I cannot turn it off. And, um, I think it's on my |
[2235.52 → 2239.82] list to replace now, Alex. It's really disappointed. It's such a great device. Yeah. It's, it's been a |
[2239.82 → 2246.24] fascinating one to watch the, uh, kind of cancel culture online react to this one. I mean, |
[2246.24 → 2253.10] on the one hand, I don't really care that much. Um, they, they've taken an interface that was |
[2253.10 → 2259.48] very clean and just got the job done and didn't really have any cruft to it whatsoever. |
[2260.14 → 2263.12] And then, as you say, they've polluted it with a bunch of ads. I mean, that, |
[2263.60 → 2268.78] that on the one hand sounds pretty terrible, but I mean, on the, on the other hand, I don't, |
[2268.88 → 2273.54] I just don't find myself really caring all that much. I, uh, I, I've been browsing the |
[2273.54 → 2280.66] the Subreddits, um, the Nvidia shield Subreddit for the last few years. And there's lots of people |
[2280.66 → 2286.20] now posting custom launches that you can install on the Nvidia shield. I mean, it's just Android |
[2286.20 → 2291.26] underneath, right? So you can install a custom launcher if you want to. And I think all this |
[2291.26 → 2297.68] is going to serve to do is motivate those who do care about such things to release better quality |
[2297.68 → 2301.58] third party launches rather than relying on the, the Google provided one. |
[2301.58 → 2306.86] I think I'll probably just switch it to an Apple TV. I have found that the Apple TVs perform even |
[2306.86 → 2311.52] better than the Nvidia shield, which I felt like was pretty well performant. This is the exact kind |
[2311.52 → 2316.22] of thing that will never happen on the Apple TV platform. And it, you know, it's been, the UI has |
[2316.22 → 2323.92] been very consistent now for years. The other thing is it, it wakes, and it controls the TV more |
[2323.92 → 2327.36] consistently than the Nvidia shield has too. So I think I'm just going to switch it out. |
[2327.36 → 2333.86] I wanted to keep it because I liked the idea of having both. And I really love Cody. You know, |
[2333.88 → 2339.96] that's a big reason why I keep the shield is I really love Cody, but in fuse on Apple TV, |
[2339.96 → 2345.64] it replaces Cody. In fact, I actually have to say, I think maybe in fuse is, is probably better |
[2345.64 → 2351.98] because it's just a newer app built with more modern technologies, and they've just steadily added |
[2351.98 → 2357.08] the features you need. It doesn't quite have the plugin ecosystem that Cody does, but in fuse |
[2357.08 → 2362.10] is a really great local file playback, play from your file shares, all that kind of stuff. |
[2362.64 → 2369.50] And it syncs via iCloud to your other Apple TVs. So your settings, you set it up once, and it's, |
[2369.82 → 2376.44] Oh, and also out of the box supports syncing play status with Plex. And I can't remember if it does |
[2376.44 → 2381.86] Jellyfin, but it's, it's a perfect app. And so it does the job that Cody does. And so I think |
[2381.86 → 2385.62] it's just time to, I think I'm done with Android TV. I'm going to keep a couple of Chromecast's around |
[2385.62 → 2388.44] and that's going to be it. Well, if there's one thing we've learned from the internet, |
[2388.44 → 2394.12] it's the adverts always make everything better. I mean, YouTube's better because of all the ads. |
[2395.12 → 2401.74] Radio is better because of adverts, right? I mean, I struggle to think of a single example where |
[2401.74 → 2406.32] an advert makes things better. I think I wouldn't have even minded as much if it was only |
[2406.32 → 2412.34] showing ads for services that I maybe have active logins for on the device, but right. But it's |
[2412.34 → 2416.30] showing me advertisements for services that I don't have and will never subscribe to. So that |
[2416.30 → 2421.08] drives me crazy. And then I think the other thing is if it was at the bottom of the UI, |
[2421.48 → 2426.82] if they hadn't, if they hadn't taken the row of icons and lowered it. And so now you have to |
[2426.82 → 2431.78] navigate down and that would have been better as well. What do you make of the argument that the |
[2431.78 → 2436.26] Nvidia shield was a premium device? This, this is quite a pervasive argument on |
[2436.26 → 2442.14] Reddit that, you know, it's a $200 device. It's a premium device. I've chosen this over |
[2442.14 → 2446.64] something like the Google Chromecast, you know, the new one with the remote that has this same UI, |
[2446.72 → 2452.04] by the way. What do you make of that argument? Because to me, I think I kind of agree with it |
[2452.04 → 2457.24] in, in the yeah, one of the reasons I paid for the shield, I pay the extra money for two of them in |
[2457.24 → 2463.08] this house was because it was so blazing fast. And because I didn't have this stuff kind of rammed down |
[2463.08 → 2467.54] my throat, you know, without, without asking for it. Nvidia have just patched this thing for years |
[2467.54 → 2473.66] and years and years. And it's, it's just been very reliable. And unlike you, I'm, I'm left feeling |
[2473.66 → 2480.36] rather deflated about it. Yeah. It feels like a play to get affiliate revenue for stream signups. |
[2480.44 → 2484.52] And it's like, they have a user base out there. They're not selling them as much anymore because |
[2484.52 → 2488.06] they're not as competitive as they used to be. And there are cheaper options out there. |
[2488.06 → 2492.82] And I think the Apple TV is starting to eat up some of its market share as well, because I think |
[2492.82 → 2497.54] other people have realized it's a better box as well. And so I think Nvidia felt let's monetize |
[2497.54 → 2501.58] what we've got here because they get some ongoing affiliate revenue from those subscriptions, |
[2501.58 → 2505.96] depending on the deals that work out. That's too tempting, I think for them to say no to. |
[2506.90 → 2511.78] And I do agree that it is a premium device. It absolutely is. I think $200 is on the cheap end. |
[2511.86 → 2515.62] I think if you buy the like I, the first one I ever bought was the one with like the big hard drive |
[2515.62 → 2520.30] and all of that. And the controller, I want to say that was like $300 or something. |
[2520.88 → 2528.16] I bought that box because ROK's and cheaper boxes had that kind of crap. It's one of the |
[2528.16 → 2533.08] reasons I didn't get a fire is because the Amazon fire does this as well. It's rows of advertisement. |
[2533.74 → 2538.56] And so I didn't buy an Amazon fire. And so I didn't buy a ROK. I bought an Nvidia shield |
[2538.56 → 2546.80] specifically because it didn't have this crap on it. Right. And so to have them retroactively add |
[2546.80 → 2552.50] that, like that wasn't the deal, bro. When I spent $300 on your kit, that's, this wasn't the deal. |
[2553.92 → 2559.32] I just hate it. And I think the custom launcher solution is not a bad one and maybe one I will |
[2559.32 → 2564.40] explore, but it's unfortunate. It's sort of like when people tell you to solve the problems with an |
[2564.40 → 2569.14] Android phone by flashing a custom ROM on there. It's like, come on, man. Yeah, I know you can do |
[2569.14 → 2574.16] that, but most consumers aren't going to do that. They're just not. On that note, Will actually wrote |
[2574.16 → 2578.86] in, and that's why we're talking about this, asking if you could put lineage on the shield. And I think |
[2578.86 → 2583.86] that's a pretty interesting idea, actually. I don't think it's supported today, but certainly moving |
[2583.86 → 2589.82] forward, I could see a much more motivated community emerging around this kind of stuff now. |
[2590.16 → 2593.14] I tell you what, if a decent lineage image showed up for that thing, I'd try it. |
[2593.14 → 2596.64] Yeah, me too. And I mean, I, even though I just said most people aren't going to, |
[2596.76 → 2600.54] the vast majority of consumers who bought this won't, I'd still, I'd use it. |
[2600.66 → 2606.62] Now, another option you've got is to replace the launcher.APK via Team Win Recovery Project |
[2606.62 → 2611.78] to one of the old versions of the launcher that doesn't have ads on the home screen. |
[2612.14 → 2616.72] You'll need to unlock your bootloader to do that, but it doesn't require root or anything like that. |
