Nobody makes their own boxes, everything you love to play with either gets designed, fabricated, or packaged in to boards, or assembled, in China.

So tired of the casual racism of “this brand good, but that brand bad, because China.” I know you didn’t mean something malicious by it, but we’ve got to do better.

I don’t know if it’s feasible or not, but I was going to recommend the same thing, trying to get smarttube over Waydroid, as the most comfortable big screen, remote controlled experience that is privacy first, allows channel subscriptions, and integrates SponsorBlock right out of the box.
