Mediatek is Taiwanese, I say chink but some other people like to call taiwan, HK etc for not chinkland

sure they have it "better", like HK has free internet for example (non censorship) but we all know that the chink gov have attacked them brutally

HK vs Mainland is a joke, they will be crushed

as you can see there is quite the price difference so far

But that is since Amlogic actually included a TV tuner with the octa core

they are crazy, these TV boxes might be about to go next level. I know Xiaomi used that one with Dolby licenses to make Xiaomi Android TV box which does Netflix , YouTube, Amazon in UHD with DRM

Features VP9 software decoding

I am still waiting for the new video format to come out

the one that will beat H.265 and be royalty free, I support free software.

yeah

speaking of tv boxes

my mi max just gave me a notification about a chinese tv guide

I should probably install a 3rd party remote app

LG has the best TV app, I was at my friend who had a no-name chink TV brand

and his actually had so many models it even had that, which my HTC didn't

yeah I'm coming from a g2, so I know

I don't really need the remote app for anything but the tv itself anymore tho.

I wish I could just rob their app

because the set top box in the living room only has some sort of radio

and an app

but that would require porting it for the serial IR sensor on your phone + the LG service associated

and I have a chromecast in my bedroom

yeah I checked that, and I'm just too lazy to care since I have SHARP AQUOS which basically is obv included in any decent app.

try the anymote app

it allows one free remote, if that's all you need it's perfect

its a bit annoying since its run in the background but I use greenify so yeah

is greenify still a thing?

yes

it just freezes apps like iOS does right?

Marshmallow has this built in

called doze mode

basically the history keeps repeating itself

people use mod ideas to make games, people use app ideas to implement (Android did this so much in the past)

And the original creators get 0

since I've lollipop I keep using greenify

Same with apple doing the f.lux meme while probably still suing companies for round corners or some shit
