Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

    A tv with integrated Amazon Fire TV. I’d very much prefer some other smart tv operating system but apart from maybe Samsung (which is just way too expensive for me), most of them have a tiny selection of apps. I really love the LG WebOS on my other tv but last time I checked they still didn’t have a steam app and I’m really lucky that they have something for jellyfin.

      I get that, I use my fire tv cube a lot. If I’m not watching media on it directly I’m probably casting to it using bubble upnp.

      One downside is it’s pretty picky with audio types and very locked down when it comes to things like setting default apps.

      There’s a game streaming app in the lg homebrew market, I haven’t tried it though.
