the actual sliced american cheese was awesome. better than deli american or the american cheese used by fast food and other restaurants on cheeseburgers.

the loafs of "cheese food" were more like an american cheese 'flavored' velveeta, but not as good (taste or to cook with). but it still worked for mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese dips, and in hotdishes and the like.

it's currently available on tubi (us)

if she's already on the google or amazon ecosystems, one of their devices might be the best choice for her, as no new account anywhere would be needed for the device itself. they'd probably be the easiest for her to set up herself.

rokuchannel isn't available on every device, so if she wants to watch anything that's "only" on it (roku originals, or current exclusives), she'll need a roku or something that roku supports. same goes for apple, but apple tv is more widely available--at least for viewing what's already bought.

note: if you want a roku device but don't want to pony-up a payment method right away or for only 'free' viewing, try creating one using a browser at https://my.roku.com/signup/nocc

if you don't want to end up being her go-to tech support, then choose a retail product used as it was sold.. not an ordinary pc or device that's been rooted or has sideloaded apps.

i do recommend a "device" vs a "smart tv". the device replaces the "smarts" and are easier to replace and upgrade. that allows you to keep the tv off the internet completely and use it as a big, dumb screen.

i use firefox.

i just make the settings changes i prefer. it doesn't take that long.. less than a minute to do that and the ui customizations and add the basic addons i also want for every installation.

the vehicle and the person do appear to me to be a 'photoshop' job (pasted onto the image of the building in the background)

the 3rd gen optiplex mt we have here all exhibit something similar.. you have to manually go into uefi settings and delete old or obsolete boot entries (due to reinstalls, swapping hdd, etc) otherwise the boot menu (f12) keeps listing every old one--by name. if you don't, you could end up with five "Debian" and three "Fedora", plus others, and not have a fucking clue which is the one that will actually boot.
