My response didn't contain any calculations so not sure why you're throwing some random accusation. Are you hallucinating like a shitty AI?

You're clearly tech illiterate and are cowering behind your perceived superiority of having kids to justify why you won't install an app to bypass YT ads because you can't fathom the simplicity of it.

Been paying a mortgage for 6 years, child is on the way. Plan well and the big changes and little changes shouldn't phase you. Even if it becomes a struggle at times I won't be looking at my Nvidia Shield with a sour expression as it sips power.

You're worried about the energy cost of a Chromecast when you have a TV 😂 How childish do you have to be to resort to building your argument on silly factors like money and energy costs to justify why you can't manage to install an app on a cheap Android TV device.

Kids nowadays can run rings around average adults when it comes to interacting with touchscreen devices and phones, I think they can manage a TV! This is beyond satire.

"FUCK Google" makes people feel relevant and involved which is pathetic.

You worked in IT 20 years? Your original comment doesn't give that impression.

Anyway, if your TV has HDMI which it most likely will do, plug in an Android TV device and then you can install whichever Android app you want, including ones that allow you to watch YT with no ads.

Hard to get an adblock working

Nowadays it really isn't. You install an app like you install the YouTube app, whether it be on Android TV or Android phone. Same for Windows and Linux, you install another app like you've done countless times before.

It's absolutely safe in Europe and Asia. Definitely something I recommend everyone does at some point, preferably earlier on in life. It taught me a lot about being independent and about myself, how I enjoy being alone etc.

Eating in restaurants alone can be a bit awkward to start with but you get over it.

Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra as your router - Wireguard VPN in to your network and if that fails to connect then you can use Teleport feature via the WifiMan app.

No, I'm not suggesting that. That's why I said some people, not everyone. There are certainly cases where medication is absolutely the only answer, but time has shown that, in US particularly, doctors are reaching to medication for milder cases of depression etc. before even prescribing lifestyle changes and supplementation like vitamin D etc.

Truer words have never been spoken

Define "require medication" as mental health medication has been grossly over prescribed for a number of years now. It's an easy faux solution so doctors don't have to convince some people to sleep better, get a hobby, get offline and exercise.

I'm struggling to think of an answer, but I guess the injustice of life in many forms. Some bad people have more success and luck than some good people. Alzheimers can make us forget the love of our lives after a long, happy life.
