Comment on Thousands of Android TV devices come with unkillable backdoor preinstalled

My OctoPrint server runs on one of these (previous homeowners left it lying around), but I completely nuked Android and installed the Armbian distro for the Inovato Quadra (itself just a carefully sourced and rebranded TV box). It was tedious though, and I'd never buy one for that purpose when there are dedicated SBCs.

Personal opinion: if you’ve got a decent pi kicking around, it makes a better media server than any smart TV ever has. Bonus points for running pihole.

Ok but for the rest of us it means that it’s categorically NOT better than any Smart TV…
