the expensive ones just have a somewhat beefier opamp than the one built into their little soc so you can just plug your high impedance headphones straight into it

2017-07-16 19:14:16 UTC  

usually also have a bigger screen to look at album art but who _actually_ does that

2017-07-16 19:14:20 UTC  

@Rikiar I have the xiaomi tv box international version its probably one of the best android boxes out there atm

2017-07-16 19:14:33 UTC  

who just sits there and looks at the album art while listening to a music

2017-07-16 19:14:44 UTC  

noicee@Phatique how do you use it? it seems like a glorified chromecast

2017-07-16 19:14:45 UTC  

"audiophiles" B^)

2017-07-16 19:14:46 UTC  

the only thing that sucks is that there is only 1 usb port and no sd card slot

2017-07-16 19:14:58 UTC  

but can you plug a usb stick with movies on it?

2017-07-16 19:15:00 UTC  

don't get an android tv box

2017-07-16 19:15:12 UTC  

get yourself an itx j1900 board and a cheap case

2017-07-16 19:15:14 UTC  

well i had a chromecast but i hated how much it started to suck, especially with twitch, laged and shit

2017-07-16 19:15:14 UTC  

those things seem shitty

2017-07-16 19:15:15 UTC  

put ubanto on

2017-07-16 19:15:23 UTC  

a tv box is so much better than a chromecast

2017-07-16 19:15:39 UTC  

i hate ubuntu im lazy as fuck so i don't want to mess with that bullshit.

2017-07-16 19:15:42 UTC  

boom, you have a ~20W tv computer that'll do a lot more than the android box will

2017-07-16 19:15:44 UTC  

loads 10x faster

2017-07-16 19:16:04 UTC  
2017-07-16 19:16:07 UTC  

yes I bought a 64gb flash drive

2017-07-16 19:16:14 UTC  

i've used mine for living room hot seat turn based strategy games

2017-07-16 19:16:14 UTC  

works for the tv obox

2017-07-16 19:16:15 UTC  

is gr8

2017-07-16 19:16:27 UTC  

nice, i don't use sd card slots anyway

2017-07-16 19:17:15 UTC  

also i wouldn't be able to use the ubuntu bs to stream stuff there like a chromecast

2017-07-16 19:17:20 UTC  

@Kaytee are you suggesting a fucking linux pc for your tv lfmao

2017-07-16 19:17:28 UTC  

yea

2017-07-16 19:17:49 UTC  

how would you ever control linux with a comfy controller

2017-07-16 19:17:59 UTC  

who the fuck wants to use mouse and keyboard on the couch

2017-07-16 19:18:03 UTC  

those little bluetooth keyboard+touchpad things work well enough

2017-07-16 19:18:04 UTC  

wtf i dont get lincucks

2017-07-16 19:18:27 UTC  

@fedora bit late but yeah, postnl won't update the tracking code very fast. it ships from wherever to the netherlands, and then they ship it to you

2017-07-16 19:18:35 UTC  

the fastest way to get a working code is to ask them on twitter

2017-07-16 19:18:36 UTC  
2017-07-16 19:18:36 UTC  

yah me neither

2017-07-16 19:18:37 UTC  

using the tv box as an emulator with retroarch also, works good

2017-07-16 19:18:37 UTC  

no joke

2017-07-16 19:18:48 UTC  

woooah that's neat

2017-07-16 19:18:49 UTC  

@Goz3rr what would i need to ask

2017-07-16 19:18:50 UTC  

they'll convert the chink tracking code to one for their internal system

2017-07-16 19:18:54 UTC  

i would mostly use plex tho

2017-07-16 19:18:57 UTC  

@Kaytee and those have linux drivers?
