For me it was close battle between Apple TV and Nvidia shield pro. But no Stremio on Apple TV was deal breaker.

If pricing is the only decisive factor then Walmart Onn streaming box for $20 is better than fire stick. I have fire tv 4K stick, Walmart Onn, Nvidia shield pro. I rarely use fire stick now.

I would have gone for Apple TV instead of Nvidia shield pro if Apple TV had Stremio app support.

Unrelated/extra info:

I drank milk throughout my life ( Milk is part of daily meal in Asia ). I never had any problem related to milk. Then few years ago I moved to USA. First thing I noticed was milk. It felt like drinking heavily diluted milk. I tried 1%, 2%, whole milk, milk with Vitamin D, Organic milk. You name it , I have tried it. It also gave me stomach ache, constipation. I got to know that I am lactose intolerant. That was weird to know since I drank milk my whole life and never had any problem.

Recently one of my friend suggested A2 brand milk saying he also felt all milk in USA tastes watered down milk. And oh my god it tastes exactly like what I used to drink. I don't have any issue like constipation or stomach ache. So I am guessing no more lactose intolerant! It's been more than 2 years I am on A2 brand milk. Recently Costco stopped selling A2 brand milk and instead started selling Kirkland brand A2 milk. That milk is horrible but for now I dont have any other option.

Kabita's kitchen is no doubt good youtube channel for Indian food recipes. But I prefer Nisha Madhulika. Reminds me of Mom :)

I have exactly opposite experience in Seattle.

Almost always Lyft's estimated time of arrival is way off the charts.

In Seattle I am paying $0.00 for uberpool. $14 makes all uberpool rides from home to work and return just $0.00 for 28 days. This also makes all uberX rides $3.49.

I am a frequent user of Uber. I don't use Lyft at all. I don't see any reason to use Lyft over uber. It's price estimation is wrong. Uber says $39 for airport, Lyft says $35 - $46 for airport. Estimated time of arrival is also wrong. Uber says it will take 4 mins for driver to come while Lyft will say drive will reach in one minute. I mean I can see on the map there is no way driver can reach in one minute.

Whenever someone say he uses Lyft over uber and I ask the reason. They always says they don't like Uber because they can't tip the driver. I understand there is tipping culture in USA so that could be reason to prefer Lyft.

Can I ask why would you prefer Lyft over Uber?

I live in Seattle and I just don't prefer Lyft. 100% of the time Lyft's estimated time of arrival is wrong. They say your "lyft" is reaching in 3 minutes when I can clearly see it can't come even in 10mins. On the other hand Uber gives pretty good estimation.

Same goes with estimated cost of the ride. Uber tell me exactly how much I will have to pay while Lyft says $7-$12.

Not unbiased.

I have seen products which are not superior quality but are ranked as #1. Generally best are third or below ranked products.
