    PiHole and AGH Blocklists

    I use this [1] and never seen an ad on my LG TV. Its only for Smart TVs. It blocks all the major TV ad networks too but can't tell how successful it is on other TVs since I only have LG.

  • LibreELEC.tv

    Just enough OS for KODI

    You can do it all with two streaming devices, an Apple TV, and a Raspberry Pi running LibreElec:

    And the Raspberry Pi is $35 so it's not a hugely expensive addition.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ExpansionCards

    Reference designs and documentation to create Expansion Cards for the Framework Laptop

    How many such brands exist? Apple is the obvious example, but what else? I can think of only single other one - Framework[0] - but it's pretty niche at the moment, and it's too early to tell how successful it'll be. A mass market brand? Can't think of one.

    The problem here is, by not doing this kind of shady shit, which is currently normalized as a business practice, you're leaving lots of money on the table. The temptation to pick it up is strong. Maybe you can resist it, but will your investors? Will your shareholders?

    If we could figure out how to resist the market pressure favoring antisocial behavior, the world would be a much better place.
