Sideload Firefox onto the shield and install ublock. You want the normal android version not the android TV one. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use the sites you'd use on your pc.

Amplitube 3 and Bias fx both have readily available torrents. I was happy enough with old versions of Amplitube that I purchased Amplitube 5 and have been really happy with it. They have plenty of metal rigs, but I haven't personally used them as I mostly stick with the tweed and plexi stuff.

Neural DSP is another paid option but everything I've heard is that they're the cream of the crop for metal tones. They also offer a 14 day trial.

They offer a subscription for $5/month that includes access to all the dlc.

Recently I've been all about the curated collections that The Criterion Channel puts out. For those that are unaware, they'll pick a couple themes and put together a list of 6-12 movies complete with a blended trailer and overview of the theme. Right now for instance they have "70s Car Movies" and "High School Horror". My only complaint is that it obviously only lists movies that are available on The Criterion Channel.

Is there anything similar out there, be it a blog, YouTube channel, whatever, but that will regularly curate lists without regards for where to actually watch the movie?

I know I could just search for best whatever genre movies I'm interested in watching, but sometimes I don't want to think about what to watch. Additionally, the curated list for a given theme gets me to branch out from what I may typically watch in that I know it's generally going to be a good movie.

It's the sports for me. I'm a big supercross/motocross fan and they're on Peacock. Races are sat afternoon/evening but I typically just watch it on Sunday. The year before it went to Peacock I watched on YouTube and it was a huge pita to find anything decent and avoid spoilers. Pair that with the Premier League, Indy and sports car racing, and I'm fine with $50/year. I find Peacock to be a much better value than everything except Max.

Had Samsungs for 10 years watching them slowly get worse and worse. Switched to a Pixel last year and couldn't be happier.

Just curious what the selling point was for those of you that have one? Most of my gaming is retro stuff on my rp2+ or rg35xx and I just don't see the appeal the pocket has over the Retroid/Anbernic alternatives. Is the quality and ability to play actual carts that big of a selling point for the higher price and waiting?

I have Peacock and Paramount for certain sports and they do this too. I Don't mind it on Peacock, but the way Paramount does it is absolutely terrible and I'll be canceling my subscription once my yearly special rate expires. Peacock will generally show about 3 minutes of ads then let you watch a whole movie. Paramount seems completely random. Sometimes you'll have 45 seconds of ads, then you might have 3 minutes of ads less than 5 minutes later. They'll regularly have 6+ mins of ads in 30 mins.

I use Reelgood. I think it lacks a little on the recommendation side, but I really like the tracking. It also shows me when shows I'm tracking are coming back for new seasons.
