Played my wii last night, today i pick up the remote and nothing, no-one has touched it, swaped batteries and still nothing, nothing at all, no lights, no flash when trying to sync, nothing checking with a camera

How does a wiimote die overnight just sitting there ?

    Been trying, semi unsuccessfully, to figure out a TV "streaming dongle" sort of thing that has enough beans to handle Steam Remote Play. The "Chromecast with Google TV 4k" devices that I have introduce so much video latency it's crazy. And I've had no luck finding a good setup with an rPi yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Used to think the video latency issue was because it was on wifi, but nope, same shit even after moving them to ethernet

    @Sicklyboy have you tried the xiaomi ones? I have a 4 year old one that managed to work just fine (tested once for fun).
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Skelletonike, nope, not yet. only tried a LineageOS Android TV build and raspbian (with Plasma Big Screen which I can't get to work) on a pi4. Was thinking about running over to walmart today and seeing if they had their "Onn" brand Android streaming box in stock. Heard good things about those
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or a 4k firestick, I have several n they work great (mostly stream kodi from NAS drive) n they cheap. $25-50
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've had such crappy experiences with fire sticks that I don't want anything to do with them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The old ones were crappy/ slow ui/ weak WiFi but new gen better, at least for me.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But I have seen people liking those ONN stream boxes, and they come w no bloatware which is nice. (firesticks has tons of bloat)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I also use PiHole on my network which blocks most that crap, I definitely noticed all my smart stuff seems to work better after setting up PiHole

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Only experience Ive had was with the xiaomi one and with the one supplied by my internet supplier.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, And you must be careful not to find Android TV boxes come preloaded with botnets.

    Hey, maybe he likes to be part of a community! What's wrong with being part of a friendly botnet once in a while

    I forgot botnets are a thing
  • SillyBee @ SillyBee:
    Tbh there gets a point you avoid so much crap you forget a lot of people fall victim to it
  • SillyBee @ SillyBee:
    I have seen people not use adblockers and my reaction is genuinely a visceral "BITCH YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?"

    @SillyBee, Imagine the shear amount of malware they had gotten without using an ad-blocker, hold that thought in. :rofl2:
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    Using an adblocker for the first time is like escaping the matrix imo
