You could use either VNC or RDP to access your computer remotely through the GUI. I'd recommend RDP because it's more secure. You should also enable SSH just in case something goes wrong with the GUI connection or something.

The ones I'm most familiar with are stream2watch.me and also the LiveNetTV app for Android. Both were worse experiences than using legitimate streaming services. stream2watch.me had TONS of pop-up ads that were absolute hell to wade through. LiveNetTV is pretty good as far as piracy apps go, but there are pre-roll ads whenever you pick a channel which is kind of annoying.

Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it’s actually available in your country.

That's not that hard to figure out though unless you're trying to watch like Australian rugby in the Bronx or something. Most people aren't going to run into that problem unless American sports blackouts come into play.

If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that’s for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have.

What service keeps you from watching live channels in SD using a tiered system lol

Oh wait, actually, you can’t watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can’t stream on two devices at the same time.

This doesn't apply 1:1 to most live streaming services but you do have a point here (Sling Orange only allows 1 simultaneous streams), especially if you have either a large family like the one I'm in, or you're trying to watch a bunch of live games at the same time.

Was he pirating because of blackouts though? That part isn't clear.

The NFL should fine him the $40 it would have cost him to sign up for Sling TV Blue. Or the $20 the introductory first month should have cost him.

I've never heard of CDA. Is it indeed a piracy site?

On what platform? I've never had an issue with it on Roku or Google TV, and I used it HEAVILY this Spring and Summer.

Honestly, after the SAG-AFTRA strike and hearing about how ads pay for actor and writer royalties, I've gotten less mad about them.

But ofc part of that factor is I pay for the ad-free version on the only streaming service I have (Disney Trio) and I buy or download (in rare case) everything else I want to see. The only ads I come across are on Rings Of Power. It's easier to bear ads if you don't have to watch many of them.

Imagine having so few people at the office that the only way people know you're working remotely is your Outlook status

Ah, that doesn't shock me. Yeah I left when they started like disabling custom launchers or something, and I realized getting a Google TV would be easier than getting around that restriction.

Hmm...well it's been a couple years since I used my Fire Stick but I remember being able to sideload Android TV apps on there just like I can now with my Google TV device.
