Proprietary attempts to hijack & monetise, similar to the early days of the internet with AOL, who tried to do the same with their proprietary browser, gateway, IM & email. TVs going the same way since main brands all have dissimilar OS's (LG uses webOS, Sony uses Google (which was previously Android), Samsung uses Tizen etc etc. We've tried many, but to us Google seems the most popular, given that it's in the best Sony TVs which always were broadcasters & TV studios flagship reference, (remember the Trinitron's), and the same seems to apply even today.

Introduzindo minha Fame dr ꪆৎ

— Sofia D’Angelo | actor, singer & songwriter

Born in 2003 - 🇧🇷/🇺🇸

　 ﾟ　　⊹　₊　　𓏵　　˚　　 ∿

Sofia D'Angelo, filha de um ex executivo da Disney, atualmente um empresário renomado de celebridades, conquistou o coração de milhões ao longo de sua carreira na Disney. Ela começou como Zuri Ross na série "Jessie" (2011-2015), onde rapidamente se destacou com seu carisma e talento. Com apenas 9 anos, ela conseguiu seu próprio show, "Sofia" (2012-2018), interpretando uma versão fictícia de si mesma. A série foi um sucesso estrondoso, explorando temas como identidade racial e a busca por sonhos, e transformou Sofia em um ícone da TV infantil.

Paralelamente, Sofia reprisou o papel de Zuri em "Acampamento Kikiwaka" (2016-2018) e ainda brilhou como Judy, a androide sarcástica em "Agente K.C." (2015-2018), ao lado de Zendaya. No entanto, nem tudo foi glamour. A rivalidade nos bastidores entre Sofia e Skai Jackson, que perdeu o papel de Zuri para ela, se tornou uma polêmica pública quando a Disney lançou uma série estrelada por Skai, que muitos consideraram uma sátira maliciosa à vida de Sofia.

A situação se complicou ainda mais quando surgiram rumores de que a Disney estava sabotando Sofia por medo de que seu sucesso ofuscasse a própria empresa. Isso culminou no rompimento do contrato de Sofia com a Disney, um movimento que gerou grande repercussão e marcou o fim de uma era. Hoje, Sofia D'Angelo é lembrada tanto por seu talento quanto pelas controvérsias que cercaram sua carreira, deixando uma marca indelével na história da Disney.

[inspo da história : @theogblondegirl ]

　 ﾟ　　⊹　₊　　𓏵　　˚　　 ∿

"Sofia" (2012-2018) foi uma das séries mais icônicas da Disney, estrelada pela talentosa Sofia D'Angelo, que na época já era uma das maiores estrelas do canal. A série seguia a vida de Sofia D'Angelo, uma adolescente e filha de um executivo poderoso, navegando pelos altos e baixos da vida em Los Angeles enquanto sonhava em se tornar uma cantora famosa. O show abordava temas importantes como identidade racial, amizade e o desafio de encontrar seu próprio caminho em meio às expectativas dos outros.

No elenco, Sofia brilhou ao lado de colegas da Disney como Skai Jackson, que interpretava sua melhor amiga, mas com quem ela tinha uma relação tensa tanto dentro quanto fora das telas. Outros nomes populares da época, como Cameron Boyce e Peyton List, também faziam parte do elenco, trazendo suas próprias energias e talentos para a série.

"Sofia" foi um sucesso instantâneo, com críticas positivas e uma legião de fãs apaixonados. No entanto, a série não esteve isenta de polêmicas. O sucesso de Sofia começou a ofuscar a própria Disney, levando a rumores de sabotagem por parte da empresa, que supostamente temia que Sofia se tornasse maior do que a marca Disney em si. Essa tensão culminou no cancelamento abrupto da série, apesar de seu enorme sucesso, e no lançamento de uma nova série estrelada por Skai Jackson, que muitos interpretaram como uma crítica velada à Sofia.

Apesar das controvérsias, "Sofia" continua sendo lembrada como um marco na televisão infantil, uma série que não só divertia como também inspirava, e que deixou uma marca profunda na história da Disney.

Desde que se despediu de sua carreira de atriz na Disney, Sofia D’Angelo não só conseguiu superar as expectativas, mas também redefinir sua presença na indústria do entretenimento. A jovem artista, que conquistou os corações de muitos como Zuri em "Jessie" e a protagonista da série "Sofia," encontrou na música uma nova forma de expressão e conexão com seus fãs.

Sofia estreou no cenário musical com seu álbum de estreia, Delirios de amor (2019), que rapidamente chamou a atenção pela profundidade emocional e vulnerabilidade presente em suas letras. O álbum foi um sucesso instantâneo, estabelecendo Sofia como uma das vozes mais autênticas de sua geração. Cada faixa revelava um pouco mais sobre a complexidade de suas experiências pessoais, especialmente seu relacionamento tumultuado com Jace Norman.

O sucesso continuou com Unleashed (2020), onde Sofia explorou novos sons e temas mais sombrios, incluindo sua saída da Disney e os desafios que enfrentou ao tentar se estabelecer como artista fora do universo infantojuvenil. Este álbum consolidou sua reputação como uma artista que não tem medo de abordar temas difíceis e polêmicos.

Ainda em 2020, Sofia lançou BEloved, um álbum que mostrou um lado mais romântico e introspectivo, dedicado aos amores e desamores que marcaram sua vida. Ela foi elogiada pela crítica por sua habilidade de transformar experiências pessoais em músicas que ressoam profundamente com seu público.

Em 2021, Close to You marcou uma nova fase em sua carreira, com uma sonoridade mais madura e letras que abordavam a dor da perda e a beleza do crescimento pessoal. O álbum recebeu diversas indicações a prêmios e foi um dos mais aclamados do ano.

Com XO (2022) e Sound of Love (2022), Sofia continuou a impressionar, explorando temas de relacionamentos e autodescoberta com uma honestidade que cativou tanto críticos quanto fãs. Ela provou que sua capacidade de criar hits vai muito além do sucesso comercial; sua música tem um impacto emocional real.

Seu álbum mais recente, Yes, and? (2023), trouxe à tona a resiliência de Sofia em meio às críticas e pressões da mídia. O projeto foi um sucesso não só pelas letras afiadas, mas também pela produção impecável, mostrando uma artista que está constantemente evoluindo e desafiando as normas da indústria.

Sofia D’Angelo, não apenas conquistou o coração do público como atriz, mas também quebrou recordes e redefiniu o sucesso na indústria musical. Desde o lançamento de seu álbum de estreia, Delírios de amor, em 2019, Sofia tem se tornado uma das artistas mais celebradas de sua geração, acumulando elogios, prêmios, e uma série impressionante de recordes que solidificam seu lugar no topo da indústria.

Em apenas cinco anos de carreira musical, Sofia já quebrou inúmeros recordes. Seu álbum Delírios de amor tornou-se o álbum de estreia mais rápido a alcançar 1 bilhão de streams no Spotify, superando estrelas como Taylor Swift e Ariana Grande. Além disso, Sofia é a artista mais jovem a ter todos os seus álbuns debutando em primeiro lugar na Billboard 200, um feito que deixou a indústria de queixo caído.. O impacto de Sofia não passou despercebido entre os grandes nomes da música. Taylor Swift, uma das maiores inspirações de Sofia, elogiou publicamente a jovem estrela, destacando sua "capacidade de transformar dor em arte com uma maestria que só cresce a cada lançamento." Beyoncé também expressou sua admiração, chamando Sofia de "uma força inegável e uma inspiração para mulheres jovens em todo o mundo."

Sofia também coleciona prêmios como poucos em sua idade. Ela já levou para casa múltiplos Grammy Awards, incluindo o cobiçado Álbum do Ano por Unleashed em 2021. Além disso, ela é a artista mais jovem a receber o prêmio de Artista do Ano no American Music Awards, um título que reafirma seu domínio sobre a cena musical atual.

Entre outros feitos, Sofia quebrou o recorde de mais músicas simultaneamente no top 10 da Billboard Hot 100, um marco que a coloca ao lado de lendas como The Beatles e Drake. Sua habilidade de se conectar com o público através de letras sinceras e performances cativantes fez dela um ícone cultural e uma referência para a nova geração de artistas.

A jovem estrela também foi elogiada por grandes figuras do entretenimento fora da música. Reese Witherspoon elogiou sua "capacidade de contar histórias de forma autêntica e cativante," enquanto Zendaya, amiga pessoal de Sofia, comentou sobre "a dedicação incansável e o coração gigantesco" que ela traz para cada projeto.

Com uma carreira repleta de recordes e reconhecimentos, Sofia D’Angelo está apenas começando a mostrar ao mundo do que é capaz. Seu impacto na indústria musical é inegável, e seu futuro promete ser ainda mais brilhante, enquanto ela continua a desafiar expectativas e inspirar milhões de fãs ao redor do mundo.

Best Android TV Boxes For Streaming in 2023

In the ever-evolving realm of home entertainment, Android TV boxes have emerged as versatile juggernauts of contemporary streaming. These devices have transcended their basic media conduit origins to become multi-functional hubs for immersive content experiences. Picture this: a single device seamlessly blending HD IPTV viewing, gaming thrills, and immersive entertainment. Welcome to the cutting edge of TV streaming, where Android TV boxes redefine how we engage with content.

The days of TV boxes confined to rudimentary functions are long gone. Modern Android TV boxes epitomize versatility. Once connected to your TV, they open portals to a multitude of streaming services, turning your screen into a smart entertainment hub. Services like Netflix and Disney Plus are at your fingertips.

So, you’ve decided to elevate your TV experience with an Android TV box, tapping into the power of the beloved Android operating system. However, navigating through a sea of options can be daunting. With countless Android TV boxes flaunting slight variations in specifications, how do you choose the perfect fit for your needs?

Worry not, as we have meticulously scrutinized the cream of the crop among Android TV boxes, ensuring that you embark on your streaming journey armed with the right information. Whether you’re a cinema buff, a gaming enthusiast, or someone with unique streaming preferences, we have categorized the best options for every taste. Our mission is to guide you not only to the best Android TV box but also to the ideal companion tailored perfectly to your entertainment aspirations.

1.NVIDIA Shield TV Pro

NVIDIA’s Shield TV has reigned as the undisputed king of Android TV boxes, and the Shield TV Pro takes this legacy to new heights. Despite its age, the Tegra X1+ processor delivers exceptional performance, driving AI-enhanced 4K upscaling that genuinely enhances HD picture clarity and color vibrancy on a 4K display. This powerhouse chip also adeptly handles real-time transcoding, allowing seamless streaming of various file formats from a NAS drive. With support for Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-X surround sound, it solidifies its reputation as an AV powerhouse.

Running on NVIDIA’s customized Google TV OS, you have access to the full array of software on the Google Play store. Plex comes pre-installed, and if you wish to expand beyond the usual suspects like Netflix and Amazon Prime, adding Kodi is a breeze. While the onboard 16GB storage might feel limiting, a simple USB 3.0 external drive upgrade resolves this concern.

Gaming is another forte of the Shield TV Pro. The Tegra X1+ not only handles a plethora of major titles from the Google Play store but also directly streams games from Nvidia’s GeForce Now service. This ingenious feature lets you access your PC games library on your TV, provided the service supports the titles. For those seeking a more streamlined setup, the new Shield TV “stick” might be appealing, as it mirrors the software and wields the same Tegra X1+ chip. Nevertheless, the Shield TV Pro embodies the quintessential Android TV experience.

Pros:

Reliable performance

Excellent remote

Wide variety of native 4K content

Supports Nvidia’s GeForce NOW cloud gaming

Cons:

AI upscaling can be overly aggressive

Controller not included

2.Magabox MG4

The Magabox-MG4 stands as the latest iteration in the Magabox series, pushing the boundaries of convenience and performance. Packed with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, it transforms into a multimedia powerhouse. Its integrated voice command feature ushers in a superior streaming experience, redefining the market. Connect it to your TV and the internet, and witness your standard TV evolve into a smart wonder.

This exceptionally user-friendly Android TV box redefines its predecessor, the MG4, with a revamped design and interface. While its hardware remains steadfast, the revamped design and interface, coupled with superior streaming and DVR capabilities, make it an irresistible choice for streaming enthusiasts. Constant system updates ensure access to the latest features and security enhancements, cementing its place as a dynamic entertainment companion.

Remarkably, the Magabox MG4 remains budget-friendly, maintaining the same price point as the MG4. This commitment to affordability ensures that users can access its advanced streaming capabilities without breaking the bank, making it an even more compelling choice for budget-conscious consumers.

Pros:

User-friendly interface

Built-in apps with voice search support

Stable streaming, especially for sports gaming

Maintains the same price as the previous version

Cons:

Batteries not included in the package

3.Amazon Fire TV Stick (3rd generation)

The base-level Fire TV Stick offers respectable functionality but may leave some users craving more due to its modest 1GB of RAM, quad-core CPU, and limited 8GB of storage. In terms of both hardware and software, the third-generation Fire Stick closely mirrors its predecessor. The primary distinction lies in its slightly updated remote, featuring a Channel Guide button and four app shortcuts for convenient access to region-specific apps like Amazon Prime and Netflix. Impressively, it supports various HDR standards, including Dolby Atmos, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, making it a solid choice for modern HDR 4K televisions.

For ardent Kodi enthusiasts and those seeking an extra performance boost, investing an additional £10 in the Fire TV Stick 4K Max might be worthwhile. This upgraded version boasts a faster CPU, more RAM, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, along with robust 4K video support and compatibility with Dolby Vision HDR.

Pros:

Good hardware

Excellent HD antenna

Stunning 4K resolution

Cons:

Non-expandable storage space

4.MINIX NEO U9-H

The MINIX NEO U9-H 64-bit Media Hub for Android delivers swift video playback at an impressive 60fps, enhancing your viewing experience with seamless and razor-sharp 4K visuals. What’s more, it excels in picture quality, thanks to comprehensive HDR10 compatibility.

Leveraging HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, this media hub broadens the color spectrum, rendering whites brighter and blacks deeper, thereby intensifying contrast for a lifelike and vibrant visual journey. All of these features come in an affordable package, priced under $50 / £50 / AUD$80, making it a budget-friendly choice for value-conscious users.

Pros:

Excellent streaming performance

Versatile

Micro SD slot

Cons:

Lacks a USB 3.0 port

5.Google Chromecast with Google TV (4K)

The Chromecast with Google TV 4K undoubtedly stands among the finest media streaming devices available, a viewpoint we firmly endorse. However, when compared to Android TV boxes, it gracefully concedes the top spot to the NVIDIA Shield TV, known for delivering superior performance across the board. Nevertheless, Google’s Chromecast with Google TV 4K offers an exceptional value proposition, priced at just $49.99.

It’s important to note that when we mention “Google TV,” we are referring to Google’s revamped user interface, while the Chromecast with Google TV continues to operate on the robust Android TV platform, providing access to a comprehensive array of streaming services. Furthermore, it comes complete with Google’s popular Chromecast remote right in the box.

Pros

Affordable price tag

Google TV interface with Google Assistant

dedicated compact remote

Cons

Limited storage

No AV1 codec support

In conclusion, the world of Android TV boxes has evolved to redefine how we experience home entertainment. From the powerhouse NVIDIA Shield TV Pro to the user-friendly Magabox MG4, and the budget-friendly Amazon Fire TV Stick to the vivid visual experiences offered by the MINIX NEO U9-H and the value-packed Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K, there’s a streaming companion tailored to every preference and budget. These devices not only grant access to an array of streaming services but also open doors to gaming thrills and immersive content. The future of streaming is here, and it’s a world of limitless possibilities, all at your fingertips. Whether you seek performance, affordability, or versatility, these Android TV boxes are your gateway to a dynamic and personalized entertainment journey.

new phone going well so far. I'd forgotten how much of a faff it is to get everything to work

1 - When you're using 2FA: you need a code sent by email but you haven't set up that email yet. You need the code to set up the thing that'll get you into your emails. No, you're not getting my mobile number, thankfully the old phone works while kept charged.

2 - 12 different security alerts + 24 notifications because you used a different phone to use some app that has access to nothing important.

3 - Removing google. tentacle sucker by tentacle sucker in 4 different places. Oh hey what's this left swipe to my phone home screen?! no I don't want the news by google, what even is its name to disable it?

4 - Incremental updates. the OS has changed a few times since late 2017 but we're going to download the full 1.5GB for half hour then pretend we're up-to-date, then repeat. Thank goodness i'm on Wi-Fi, slow Wi-Fi but still - my mobile plan only has 100MB a month.

5 - We said we synched/cloned your preferences but that was a lie: firefox (no adblock, new sponsors on the homepage), swiftkey (different languages, layouts, font size, privacy settings reset), anything google related.

oh well at least it's ten times easier than trying to disable the spying on a smart TV.

but for a moment there after I'd cloned my hard drive (remember how windows said that was a bad idea and it turned out fine?) I forgot you can't just clone a phone.

I intend to make this beautiful little thing work For Me so on we go to probably hour 8 now, of multitasking while it does it little updates and I roll back whatever privacy settings got reverted and remove bloatware. I could of course flash the thing but it'd take that much time in research and being sure I'm not bricking a nice working phone. not ready at this point.

// This is not helped by the nerd infighting on which stripped android os is better.

I don't mind the stupid usernames I ran win7 super unfucked haxxor edition by touhouhusbando or whatever for a few years but seriously, researching is like "here is the one, the real deal, the bestest": three notes down "btw I'll have headphones working in a month or so - sent in 2022" //

Update 7, we're now upto 2020 the last couple have been 4gb. I should have probably rooted my phone and flashed darkjoker's super android stripped extreme (or whatever). OTL

[invadernids]

would you be willing to share the software you use to make your screen darker?

Sure thing! I only have screen shaders for my Mac computers because those displays are hard baked into the machines. For windows, I just have the computer hooked up to a TV and I can change the display settings with the remote.

But yeah, for the macs, the lowest brightness setting is often still too bright, especially when I have a migraine. I use two different screen shaders that each do different things:

f.lux - most computers these days I think have night shift options built in to the OS, but I've been running f.lux for probably around 8 years now so I'm not gonna get rid of it lol. What it does is it applies a heavy orange/red filter to your screen and darkens it depending on what time you set it to do that. Helps me not strain my eyes so much.

ScreenShade - this one is such a lifesaver for me! It just gives you another screen brightness slider on top of the base one, letting you go much lower without turning the entire display off.

I don't use a dedicated app on my phone (iphone), but you can go into the settings to activate an accessibility shortcut to darken the screen by going to accessibility -> zoom -> zoom filter -> low light. I have it set to activate when I press the home button three times in a row. I have the actual zoom level set to zero so that I only get the darkening effect but feel free to actually pinch and zoom around if it helps too.

I imagine that similar applications/settings would exist for windows, linux, and android phones. I think my brother's samsung phone has a built-in night shift as well as a black and white mode. I can ask him how he shades his windows computer monitor if you want, though I think there are probably lots of options out there on the internet.

Thank you for the ask!

O novo design da Tumblr TV para Android já foi lançado! Eis uma descrição exata do novo design: a reprodução de vídeo no modo lightbox/Tumblr TV foi melhorada em Android. Agora existe um botão de reprodução/pausa e ainda implementámos algumas alterações visuais.

🛠️ Correções

Ao enviar uma publicação na Web, agora tens um ícone com uma seta junto ao avatar do teu blogue para ser mais evidente que podes clicar nele para mudar para a opção de enviar a publicação a partir de um dos teus blogues secundários.

Corrigimos um problema que fazia com que o Windows 10 fosse apresentado como "Windows 10 10" na tua lista de sessões ativas.

Foi corrigido um problema na Web que apresentava incorretamente subavatares em blogues de grupo.

Corrigimos alguns conflitos de atalhos do teclado no Tumblr Patio. Já podes utilizar as setas para cima/para baixo para percorrer uma coluna. E podes utilizar o atalho shift+esquerda/direita para navegar entre colunas.
