I’m fed up with ads on my Google TV, so I got rid of them with this third-party launcher

The transition from Android TV to Google TV has led to mixed reactions from users, primarily due to the increase in sponsored content and ads, which can be frustrating for those who have invested in hardware. Unlike Apple TV 4K, which is ad-free, Google TV users can utilize a third-party launcher, such as Projectivy Launcher, to eliminate ads and enhance their viewing experience. Projectivy Launcher is customizable, allowing users to reorder apps, hide unused ones, and create personalized categories. It offers features like adjustable icon sizes, dynamic wallpapers, and the ability to sideload APKs. It also includes parental controls and is free to use, with some premium features available for a one-time payment. Google TV provides an "App-only" mode to reduce clutter, but Projectivy is considered a better option for a streamlined experience.

Huawei could next aim for Windows after exiting Android roots in China?

Huawei is developing HarmonyOS NEXT, a new operating system free from U.S.-based components and Android, to challenge foreign operating systems in the local market. The company has eliminated all source code related to Android or Linux and integrated self-developed components into the new OS. HarmonyOS NEXT will not support Google or Android-compatible apps but will enhance the performance of Huawei devices. Huawei is also working on HarmonyOS PC, a computer-specific software that could potentially launch in 2024, with leaked information suggesting an earlier release. The Chinese government is supporting Huawei in building the HarmonyOS ecosystem, with the stable version of HarmonyOS NEXT expected to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.

Rabbit denies that the Rabbit R1 is fundamentally just an Android app

The Rabbit R1 is not simply powered by a single Android app, as clarified by Rabbit's founder and CEO Jesse Lyu. The device's capabilities are cloud-based, with a bespoke Android Open Source Project and lower level firmware modifications. Despite the device having an on-device client in the form of an Android app, its large language model and action model are cloud-based and cannot be replicated on a phone.
