A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

SmartTube for Google/Android TVs! So amazing. AdBlock and sponsorblock built in.

How's the UI? I remember using it over a year ago and it felt really crusty compared to the Chromecast YouTube app

Much better than before, I’d imagine. I haven’t used it for that long but I find it really smooth and nice to use, I haven’t had any issues, really.

Really the only solution to watch YouTube on TV. I sideloaded it to my shield. github
