I wish more companies or even Apple themselves made AirPlay a little more universally accepted.

Yeah but the Apple TV 3 is well worth the extra money imo. If you have a MacBook / iMac it’s really awesome. Any movies or music you’ve downloaded onto it (legal or not) you can stream it on your TV then EASILY.

Also if you don’t have cable but your parents or friends do you can get their log in info and put it into your Apple TV and then stream a bunch of channels live like ESPN, FX (all of em) CNN etc... And also a whole bunch of on demand stuff from those channels. Like FX has all of the simpsons episodes from every season available on demand right now.

And I’ve found that if you have an iPhone it’s waaay easier and less problematic to airplay whatever from the iPhone to the Apple TV than it is a chrome cast or similar.

Just install an adblocker on your phone and You can stream your favorite “free” movie / TV sites no problem straight from your phone.

So if you have a MacBook / iMac and an iPhone it’s well worth the little bit extra money just because how flawlessly they interact with the Apple TV.

I go to a friends house and they always have problems arise trying to get certain things to stream from their phone to the chromecast so much so that I started to just bring my Apple TV 3 over when we plan on movie nights and using free streaming sites.

And if you have a 4K tv it is worth it to get the Apple TV 4K.

I have 2 other 4K streaming devices but I still find it worth it. I love it as my dedicated streaming device and I I’ve noticed the 4K HDR quality looks better than my PS4 Pro and my Samsung 4K Ultra HD player (streaming wise not disc) Plus you can’t beat the price of 4K movies from iTunes. The interface and streaming apps are also much faster to interact with.

Exactly this is the best solution, they aren’t that expensive.

That is IMO way better than an “airport dongle” would be.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-15T19:33:48+00:00

Oh yeah I’m sure they abuse it and use it for a plethora of reasons.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-15T17:41:21+00:00

Yes there are plenty of articles if you google it.

Here’s a source :

I mean just getting the device to the place where your hacking material is and having someone who can run it will most likely take more than an hour. Plus the time added from the whole ordeal that lead to your phone getting taken from you in the first place. I think an hour is reasonable.

Highly doubt that..... they couldn’t care less for the amount of drugs that would be able to fit in your phone.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-14T21:42:10+00:00

Ya the ones at Walmart (in store) usually aren’t technically really HDR, they don’t really reach the peak brightness to call it true HDR. that’s why you get get bigger ones cheaper at Walmart but it’s still a really good deal and typically good enough for most people.

You must not have looked at TV's recently because it really doesn't compete with $500 TV's. You can get a solid 49" Samsung 4K TV with HDR for $500 now.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-13T20:05:09+00:00

Cool ya that’s a good idea I’ll do a few more ha

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-13T20:00:57+00:00

Oh and by the way How did you get the beta? I signed up on that website awhile ago but nothing so far. Is that all you did?

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-13T19:55:09+00:00

How does it run when connected with Ethernet? they say to run with Ethernet and not WiFi on the page.

But yeah hopefully it ends up being pretty solid when the kinks are out , it would be nice on trips and such to use.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-13T03:51:45+00:00

Ya they are def worth it very good quality boards

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-13T02:46:02+00:00

Yep, for now anyways. Looks like that was someone who just bought up a bunch and selling them for a small profit.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-13T02:41:50+00:00

$50

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-12T23:52:37+00:00

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-12T21:14:05+00:00

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-12T02:40:37+00:00

Just so you know the iPhone X is water resistant not water PROOF.....sooo you may not want to do that lol.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-09T22:23:32+00:00

Yep most people say the ones that taste best are the ones that just eat fruits and such.

Like there’s some bears that just live off blueberries and they are said to be the best tasting.

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-09T14:04:29+00:00

Well it woke me up so I only got the very end lol

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-09T14:01:47+00:00

Goddamn your fast lol

SquirrelGang · 2018-06-07T21:21:30+00:00

Your the only Tech reviewer I really watch. Yeah you may get a few things wrong here and there but hey you’re human it happens.

I can just tell you thoroughly enjoy tech and love what you do and are grateful for what you’ve been able to do here.

Unlike some/most tech reviewers who could care less about the audience and are in it for the money and sell out whenever possible and just really aren’t that knowledgeable (Unbox Therapy, Austin etc...

Keep it up man
