    Yes, or you can use it in lieu of your “Smart TV” as to prevent data collection and other shitty things, while not having to deal with stutter/lag/crashing.

      This is exactly where I am in wanting a shield, but it feels crazy to buy it for $200 when it’s over 10 years old. Maybe I’ll just use my PS5 instead… It’s been used a lot less since I built my PC last year.

        there is nothing newer that works better, that’s the entire point of this article.

        I think the Walmart ONN ones are also a good value, fairly powerful, and free of malware (or were at some point).
