in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.


Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.
