I did the use button mapper. Little finicky at first but now it's great. It's probably worth noting, in case someone bumps into this later, the exact commands in the link you posted didn't work for me, I needed to search for a different launcher removal command, since I'm not on a chrome cast, or maybe Google just changed they're launcher name/location. The appwraith remover worked, just not for the actual launcher. I'll rack down what I did later and update this with my command.

Based on what I learned from another reply here, I was able to make my TV do exactly what I wanted. If you ever have to replace the dumb TV, I'm going to recommend getting an android TV just because it was so easy to remove the original OS.

I know each android TV is a little bit different, so if it helps I'm running a Sony Bravia with android TV 11.

That setting wasn't an option on my TV unfortunately, and my network ad blocking wasn't working due to the ads being saved on the TV. I ended up using ADB to just kill Google entirely.

Worked like a charm. About an hour of fiddling around and learning ADB and now I feel like I own my TV. Thanks for giving me a solution outside of 'build/buy a different device'.

While I do appreciate everyones advice, this is exactly what I was hoping was possible. Thanks for the help mate.

White military guy, firearm instructor, buzz cut, wrap around sunglasses. Bet he knew where he was going.

He's also a firearm instructor. Fuckin rough combination for an active shooter.

Hopefully Florida citizens. Bringing tourism money isn't a dunk.

I'll have to give it a go soon. I'm just a bit disappointed I'll have to develop another hobby to solve a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

The further into the tech world I get, the more inviting Linux seems. I manage multiple PCs for my business, and holy shit is it aggravating to have to uninstall added garbage and shut off more background processes every time there's an non optional update. The update that was deemed critical a few weeks ago to protect against whatever new virus is around seemed reasonable, until I opened OOSU and saw outside of the security update, it also happed to turn telemetry back on, gave Microsoft apps permission to use the camera and microphone, reinstalled edge, and added a new update app that's not located with other apps and can't be found by REVO. It's difficult to make it what I want, but at least it's not impossible.

The way w11 is right now, if 10 gets dropped I'm jumping ship.

I just want a familiar, easy to use, lightweight os. My partner and I both have the same laptop. Mine is my modified w10 build, theirs is the best I could do with w11. Mine starts faster, the battery lasts longer, searching and file transfer is faster, and my temps are lower. I start with 28 background processes, theirs has 73. We do roughly the same things on them, and mine is better in virtually every way.

Want to change a setting? W10 already has 2 extra unnecessary menus to go through to find what you want. W11 put two more on top of that. I tried to use teams for business communication, but the machines took such a performance hit I got rid of it, and on 11 it's permanent and "functionally necessary" even though it will never be used.

W10 claimed IE, Cortana, Edge, Xbox, and OneDrive were necessary for the OS to work, but I can rip them out and every thing still works. On 11, the menus and file explorer will disappear if you remove programs you never wanted.

There is nothing better about the newer os' than windows 7. I don't want more 'features'. I don't want more 'ease of use' garbage. I don't want app based programs and menus. I don't want device syncing and cloud backups. I want computer settings, a file explorer, and the ability to install the programs I use and nothing else. How has no company done that yet?

If that allows me to just not sign in and have to remove a bunch of automatically downloaded bullshit I'll be a happy individual.

It's more likely it just won't work and will force you to make an account, but I can dream

You'll have to forgive, my I played clarinet, and my classical training ended almost 20 years ago. Bassoonery? Maybe the halls of the mountain king?

Hey now, don't call me out like that

The notes make me want to say Alhambra, but the pieces of text I see look more like the man with no name theme

I was having a good time checking each one out, then the I got to the bassoonist and lost it.

Oh fuck yeah I'm ready to not know what happened to my entire Saturday

I agree with the regional accent issue, but I don't like the choice of example. Body on its own is clearly an o, but anybody is much more commonly a u sound. That's less a regional thing and more just language evolving over time.

I'm far more interested in the changing of c and x to being actually useful letters, as opposed just replacements for other letters that we can easily change from reading to speaking. The y thing isn't entirely necessary, but we used to use it as a th, as in ye olde inn, and TH is a weird combo of you think about it.

G and J should get their shit together too.

English's acceptance of old world spellings and superfluous letters. Everything should be spelled phonetically and consistently, and we should change the alphabet to get rid of confusion. Here's my suggestions:

1. Everything is spelled phonetically. No exceptional letter rules, and names are included.
2. Vowels change sound with an accent, not a silent e or modifier. So Kate is now Kāt. Vote is Vōt.
3. C can always be replaced with an S or K, so now it makes the CH sound. So cat is kat, chase is cās.
4. X is bullshit and doesn't mean anything, so we'll use the Mayan version and now it makes the SH sound.
5. Y can always be replaced with an i or e, so we'll go old English and now it makes the TH sound.
6. The -ed and -er sounds don't need the E. It doesn't do anything.
7. Double letters are unnecessary , so now the vowel sound of U,(ū) makes the oo sound. The original sound is now ēū, as in kēūkumbr.
8. G is now a vowel. Put a line on top for the J sound.
9. Since j is now unnecessary, it makes the French J sound, or DZh. We don't us it much but it's nice to have.
10. Since ū has changed, it can now replace W, ūic kan bē asīnd ā nū soūnd låtr az nēd bē.
11. Z is on thin fucking ice, but for now it'll replace soft s' where it's used. Or ēūzd, if ū ūil. It will be the difference between prōnoūns and prōnoūnz.

So naū anē budē kan prōnoūns anē ūrd imēdēetlē, and nō ūun ūil sā unuyr nām rong. Yis haz Ben mī Ted Tok.

Hmm, could probably use a long a letter. Tok doesn't feel right. Maybe the French ê?

I'm not sure about the NG sound. Maybe J is also a vowel, and G accented is NG? I'm open to suggestions. Sugjestxunz.

Edit: also dates. It should be YYYY/MM/DD. Categories should always go from least to most specific.

On that subject, even though it's not language specific, we should have thirteen four week months with names that make sense. Every date of every year is the same day, planning ahead and due dates are simple. It makes 364 days, so new years day and leap year are extra special holiday days, nobody works or buys anything. If you have an emergency on one of those days, and can't make it til Sunday the first, yo either call an acquaintance who can help, or lose and die. Sorry mate. Buy three days worth of food on Saturday the 28th of Thirtember. Hope the power doesn't go out. Or move the free day to July, which is now called September.

My water pressure is so high I can swish and spit

Babe wakeup, the new great filter just dropped.
