    I’m really happy with my android TV, but it makes me feel bad to know that my computer is free from GAFAMs but my TV keeps telling them what I’m watching and doing.

    About the mini PC on the side, the ecological impact of having a second device turned on is preventing me from doing that.

      Something like a ASRock 4x4 with a 5800U should draw about 10W in idle, but you can certainly shut it off when you’re not watching. I use a small tower because it also holds some storage for my home NAS and jellyfin server.

      A small secondary device is not going to hurt your power consumption just for video playback. ARM chips are capable of 1080p playback just fine and have really decent power consumption numbers to boot.
