    You regret the most? I’ve made much worse purchases. I just use a custom launcher, which the fact that it’s an option is more than most services can say. It’s nice that it’s running android so I can install any APK I want (thank you SmartTubeNext). And the fact I can quickly control it/type from my phone is nice. Not to mention, I think every remote should have the “find my remote” button that makes it ring. And while it’s decently expensive, and there are certainly other cheaper options, I would say this is far from one of the worst purchases I made.

      I’m sure I’ve made worse purchases but tbh I’m struggling to think of any truly bad purchases I’ve made at the moment, even this I don’t consider bad as it still does pretty much everything I want. I just don’t appreciate paying to be treated like shit by a company. And the main reasons I chose the shield over cheaper devices was the lack of ads and game stream, both of which have been taken away (yes the ads can be bypassed with a bit of tweaking but I shouldn’t have to)
