I tried using sunshine/moonlight to stream hockey from my PC to my tv and the stream was black (until I disabled hardware acceleration). Legit blew my fucking mind. I was 30% impressed and 70% angry. Once again paying customers are the ones with the shitty UX.

I'm sure the average person doesn't give a fuck but I am slowly but surely being driven away from any and all paid content. I can't watch 40 dudes skate around in circles without being fucking bombarded with gambling ads from every fucking possible avenue. Because millions isn't enough they need more millions.

I'm getting so fucking jaded.
