I have never heard of anyone talk about nvidia shield since 2013 until I joined lemmy. This is the weirdest marketing psyop I have ever seen.

Then you weren't in the r/self-hosting or r/piracy communities. It comes from the fact that it supports most codecs. So when you want to watch almost any movie on Plex, the server won't have to transcode.

I was and I guess the psyop was dealt with there.

Idk why you insist on it being a psyop, but you do you. I tried to find an android device that had hardware support for H.264, H.265, and others and it's not much there. I believe Firetv 4K does but then you are getting a more locked down android with a bunch more ads.

You are a psyop

I also use a Nvidia shield, very happy with it... Mostly. Clean, few ads, although they did add some banner ads for major streaming providers. But I don't mind seeing a banner for a few new shows

Not psyops

This is a psyop because it makes my brain tingle.
