     Stupid people will literally do anything but avoid being proactive in reclaiming their computing freedom.
     
     Instead of wasting money in a proprietary stick she could've gotten a cheap +10 year old computer, install GNU and torrent stuff, free of charge, for her to keep forever.

     @sally @mangeurdenuage I don't pay for any streaming except the one that comes along with Amazon Prime, which I never use I just have it for the free shipping.
     
     I said in a previous post that streaming is more convenient than buying a disc in the store, it's not easier than piracy.
     
     all I meant was, as far as I can remember you just log into Netflix and remove the TV from your devices. Then on the Fire Stick you connect to Netflix and it walks you through connecting it. I've done it for my parents. It's not magic, it doesn't know the old TV isn't being used anymore, you have to log in and tell it.

     You don't fix anything, they decide whether this is "fixed" or not.
     
     
     I'm genuinely puzzled why you, of all people, keep shilling so hard about streaming platforms when you're clearly computer literate and you don't need none of this normie abusive and proprietary crap to enjoy content.
     
     "Out of convenience"... Sure, that's why you host a fedi instance rather than being on Twitter, Bluesky or Threads, or whatever, right? /s

     @sun @sally You shouldn't have to do that in the first place tbh. You didn't need that extra layer of software when you received hertz tv.

     Not only that, but you'll need to run their proprietary client, otherwise the bitrate and resolution will get crippled and capped at 720p even if you paid to get 4K delivered.
