I recently realized that I have been boarding planes for years with multiple boxes of razor blades in my carry-on.
…Not a single checkpoint picked them up.

I mean, I can see where you’re coming from but locker rooms are a significant part of sport.
Comradery is built in locker rooms and they are where young athletes spend a large portion of their sporting time. This is especially true for certain sports needing significant prep time like (ice) hockey.
With young people already facing a loneliness crisis, we don’t need to be isolating them further to solve a non-problem.
- Comment on Roku OS home screen is getting video ads for the first time 8 months ago:
No, in a way it’s just another Android TV box. But it only has Google’s spyware crap in it instead of that plus all the sketchy malware that’s been found on no-name Android TV boxes. Plus it has (still) pretty high-end specs compared to most other third party players, so you can throw full phat UHD remuxes with Dolby Vision and full quality lossless Atmos at it without it chugging. The AI video upscale is one of the only upscaling solutions that is actually worth using (depending on personal taste).
That’s all from my research, I haven’t actually bought one either bcus its a bit expensive for me too. If you’re up for a bit more work and want to save a good bit, consider the DIY Kodi box that another poster mentioned. Something like LibreELEC if you’ve got a Raspberry Pi lying around somewhere, or just install Kodi on an old PC or laptop if you have one laying around for a HTPC.

That’s a very good choice too if you’re fine with some tinkering. Dolby Vision on the shield is what had me considering the Shield, but I read something about proper Dolby Vision support in the new release of Kodi (can’t confirm).

Consider leaving the TV disconnected from the internet and using it as a dumb TV connected to a good third-party device like an Nvidia Shield (those are a still probably the best mass market player devices despite being a few years old. Nothing official, but there is a good chance a refresh could be coming soon).
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 8 months ago:
True, but even if Steam were to offer a x% lower cut on sales for Linux users if the developer makes a Linux-native build, it’d still not entice many to build and maintain a native port if they are only saving x% off a tiny y% of users. Other poster’s point being that incentives like this would actually become enticing to companies when Linux market share (Proton users) increases.
Doubtful Steam is gonna offer a share cut on all sales when it runs on Proton for the 2% of userbase using Linux, and from that only a minority would care whether or not it’s native anyway.
