It's basically a brick now and I am probably never going to buy another. Even more stupid as I have an old tube-shield that is still running just fine from like 2018. I ended up installing https://libreelec.tv/ on an old pi 4 I had lying around. HDR, multi-language subtitles, using existing TV remote over HDMI-CEC, all work. That being said, I only use it for Jellyfin. I hope anyone use using a shield does not have the same experience I did. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quirzle@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago Did you try a warranty claim? Nvidia is pretty well-reputed for being flexible about that sort of thing. The warranty is 2 years in some countries, so it's not like a huge leap that they'd honor it for one bought last year. permalink fedilink source parent [–] drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago the apple addiction is too strong permalink fedilink source parent [+] elgordio@kbin.social -19 points 2 years ago (4 children) Alternative solution: pay for YouTube premium. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 20 points 2 years ago (1 child) You mean feed the investors of the company that makes tons of money by exploiting users private life?
