To me its a bonus since I've had this firetv box for 5 months and I just found out about it the other day. So far so good but I'm sure it will get shut down eventually.

Your instructions make it appear it's some sort of yify-based situation. Yify just had their two main websites shut down (for being illegal) about two weeks ago. That said, they had been up for a couple of years before that so you might have a long time to enjoy it.

The day I first installed it there were a bunch of Yify streams in the list to choose to stream from but there are none now. It basically has about 25 different choices of where to stream from of 'Yify-like' services. Some are reliable some are not but overall you can find pretty much whatever you want to watch.

Reading some articles about an Oakland County child porn scumbag...

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/new...porn/75976194/

Here's the part that bugs me:

Virgil Napier Jr. is alleged to have accessed multiple posts at a website known to display child porn, including one with a link to an image that depicted thumbnails of a video

To be clear, there's absolutely no question that he's a scumbag based off his confession. He's said enough quite independently of the above to get put away for a long, long time.

But, this sounds like the kind of crap one would find in a web browser's cache and not enough evidence by itself of anything. There's lots of sites I've gone to that have thumbnails of who-knows-what. I'd expect that for people without effective ad blockers, it's even worse. Are there people whacking off to thumbnail images? This seems like weak sauce compared to what he confessed to, but it crops up in every article on the subject.

Oh oh. I didn't know that spaghetti-os were made of red plastic. It explains so much!

I just installed it. Very nice. The firestick is on sale for black friday on Amazon for $25. Thinking about picking up another one to replace the old apple tv I have.

I had to come out of lurking just to thank you guys for Sportsdevil. I have been trying to figure out a good sports streaming solution for weeks.

Any time de. You owe me.

What do you guys set your thermostat at in the winter

What do you guys set your thermostat at in the winter

Been wondering that myself. I think I have terrible insulation in my place (just moved in last March, missed most of winter). I'm usually about 71 or so but have been cranking it so far. Gonna get pummeled on the bill.
