I was about to purchase a Zacate motherboard/cpu/gpu combo and then read that they don't work well with Netflix. Is there another combo that people recommend that isn't a year and a half old and/or doesn't have issues with Silverlight? Am I just better off getting a more powerful machine?

It's free while MakeMKV is in beta. It's also really easy to use. edit: It'll still ask you for a key.

I've had the same HTPC for about 11 years now and it's been slowly dying. I'd love to replace it with something like a Raspberry Pi, but they are perpetually out of stock and I don't really feel like buying one from one of the many places trying to make a buck flipping them on Amazon. At this point, I mostly use it to watch Youtube with adblocker. I'd like to replace it and have the following needs and wants:
Is there something out there that isn't a Pi that would readily do these things without building a new HTPC or fixing the failing components in my current one? I know casting youtube from another device to my TV is probably a better option for the youtube stuff, but the ads annoy me and I'm hesitant to install a third party youtube app (though it looks like Youtube vanced is no longer a thing?)

Something like this Ah that's probably the closest thing to what I'm looking for coming from what I have now. I have a gen 3 i3 or i5 in my box, which is basically this thing but bigger. Thanks for all the responses. I'll also look into the Xbox thing, too.
