Apple TV vs Firestick. (self.technology)

So. I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I'll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this? Which has more adds, and can it be blocked via DNS? Further read that Firestick could be jailbreaked, that has my interest 🦊

Good call, I forgot gen2 existed.

Yes I meant the original AppleTV remote with the rectangle trackpad. I unironically think it's the best mini remote ever made lol

Y’know, I honestly really liked that remote too. Although I will say, after using, I like Gen 2 as well. When I hear “the old remote” though, I think of the ancient one without the trackpad that legit just had navigation buttons haha

I'm down with any simple remote. Can't stand number pads or extra buttons

Completely agree
