I actually spent time on ripping the 'you wouldn't steal...' video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. πŸ˜…

I just use *.loc.al as a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. πŸ˜…

Yet if I enter something like 'resolv' in Google I need to add '-resolve' to not get hundreds of unrelated results... Same goes for any not-too-popular software that is named a slight misspelling of their purpose... I even find it ridiculous how often first results litterally say underneath they did not contain your query...

But with terabox and "content plaza" it gives 2 results?

Startpage I have no idea, but I'm guessing they, like many, use the Google API for webcrawler results... 1 result? Those are pretty common words,...

Torrents, modded apk's,...

Check out my results for some chinese download service called "Content Plaza" for example:

Google:

Yandex:

Like, 2? On the 'entire' internet? 2? Right...

I've always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That's very likely VLC's post-processing. It doesn't look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. πŸ˜…

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn't bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. πŸ˜…

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC's magic doesn't seem to be so effective on Android(TV)... 😜

Here's a little hack if you do have to use youtube:

Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,... After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it's being abused. πŸ˜…

Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.

Add 2 more full versions and it might crash your towers. πŸ˜…
