I always knew their brother had something to do with this ever since 2 minutes ago.

Shizuku would absolutely work. I can use adb either wirelessly or through a USB A to USB A cable with the 5 volt line cut (which is also how I interact witth fastboot). Activating developer settings is as simple as tapping build number 7 times, like on every Android device.

Rooting can help you replace built in apks. For example, there is a Magisk module that lets you replace the system’s WebView with an alternative, like the one from GrapheneOS, for instance. App signing is the problem here, so that’s what that specific module helps bypass.

Modules work on top of an OverlayFS, which essentially lets you write to /system without actually writing to /system, similar to rwfus on the Steam Deck.

Also your current TV app is one made by TCL and not a stock Android app. I wonder if it can be substituted with a different one from a different vendor, or maybe an older version of the TCL app. The only issue I forsee is if the app attempts to communicate with hardware in a non-standard way. Alternatively, I wonder if you block internet to the TV app using a firewall if the TV functionality would still work without showing ads. There is AFWall+ if you’re rooted and DNS/Android VPN based firewalls if not. There is also DNSNet, which is a DNS based ad blocker that uses Android’s DNS service.

Mine doesn’t have a custom ROM either because Hisense refuses to release the kernel source for my device. Didn’t stop me from rooting anyway. Magisk/KernelSU modules can also do a lot of heavy lifting for replacing things.

I was able to unlock the bootloader and root my Hisense Android TV just fine. I think you can also root TCLs, but I’d check xda first.

I didn’t even need to enable OEM unlocking first to unlock the bootloader. Dumping the boot.img was a different story. Someone did it for me for my model, since my model’s UBoot firmware is missing a lot of functionality. You may have better luck dumping through UBoot using the UART interface, or maybe there’s an alternative. If your TV is a GKI device and you can boot a generic kernel, yhen you can use KernelSU without needing to first dump the stock boot.img (or init_boot.img), then you might be able to upgrade and dump the stock one from the other partition before rebooting

I couldn’t figure out how to get into BROM mode on my TV.

Make sure there is a reliable way to reflash the firmware in case of a brick. Hisense provides firmware packages that can be flashed from the bootloader without needing to boot an OS.

That’s just about the entirety of The Onion at this point.

What a banger

I’ve been using Tuta for damn near a decade, and it’s been great for me.

You can pass through a dedicated PCIe USB card if latency is important.

On my desktop, I’m able to pass through the motherboard’s integrated USB controller. YMMV if you try this, though. If I need to control the host (ex: to force shutdown the guest), I either use a PS/2 keyboard, SSH, or KDE Connect.

I absolutely ate the onion here

I switched to NewPipe ever since the very first alpha version was released. I’ve discovered so many more niche channels that I would have never discovered had I still been using my Google account.

Without the account, the algorithm recommends me videos exclusively based on the current video I’m watching, which is exactly what I want the algo to do.

I am currently subscribed to over 1500 people on NewPipe now, for reference, with the vast majority being smaller creators. I discover new channels on a fairly regular basis.

My subs are also completely local and sortable into different groups. Google has been known to unsubscribe people from channels without their consent or knowledge, and this prevents that from happening.

Having no ads and Sponsorblock (via polymorphicshade’s fork called Tubular or another fork called PipePipe) is also a nice bonus.

Prof Wolff just released a great video about this yesterday, although it’s more about debunking the myth of a meritocracy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILljYRz_G-I

Is that one exception Xbox?

Is it possible to self-host a server? Is the server code open source?

for f in $(find .); do sed -i 's/wokeness//g' $f; done

Magic Earth is proprietary, though. You can believe their privacy policy, but I have trouble believing any privacy policy if I can’t see the source code.
