That’s great for you, but people like you vastly underestimate how much hassle people are willing to go through as far as setting up tech goes.

See, that’s more realistic.

I’d need a dedicated computer, because my PC doesn’t live in the lounge, but I’m seriously considering doing it. My Chromecast has been pissing me off lately.

Look at some n95 NUCs on Amazon, or any mini pc really. Often less than 200$ for a full windows PC that can stream anything you throw at it.

You can buy small PCs for cheap now. A lot of them don’t even need active cooling

This is the only way for me.

No Amazon or Google or Nvidia stuff. Just an old PC, a cheap wireless keyboard with a touchpad and you are good to go.
