It's more than triple for a family plan, but you share it with people and you land well under 5 euros per person.

Please tell me how to install chrome or Firefox on a corporate laptop without admin rights, I'll wait.

A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.

I don't want to look into anything, much less if it's less seamless, I'm satisfied with the default YouTube app on my TV.

You need admin rights to install any software.

How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don't have admin rights? What if it's out of date and the ads play anyway?

For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don't have to play cat and mouse.

What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?

I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I'm into "that sort of thing" (paying for people's work).

Or maybe they are sharing the family plan with 2 other people and rounding up. Or they have a different plan. Or they live in a country with different prices and converting to usd. Or a handful of other reasons that doesn't involve conspiracy theories.

Not even close to the experience.

This is not about pay.

Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I've never seen those.

XBMC didn't have drivers for video acceleration, but the raspberry pi 1 was able to play 1080p flawlessly if you used omxplayer.

Now kodi has the drivers included and the 4 can even play 4k up to certain bit rate.

The new ones are too expensive tho, a used NUC is a much better deal.

Debían 3.0... good times.

Use a second computer or a friend's one to download the updates, get a USB ethernet adapter (a 100mbps one is like $5), put the system drive in a computer with lan, tether with another device via USB (phone, pi zero, etc) or use a different version/distro. I'm sure there are a bunch of other solutions.

Raspberry, seriously? What problems are you seeing?

I have a raspberry pi 3 acting as a 5GHz access point for as long as it's been on the market, I can remember one time I had to restart it because of some wonkiness. About a dozen others as clients, never had an issue there either, fast and stable enough.

All using the default os (raspbian first, raspberry os later).

It can. But the average impact is still positive.
