I've been out of the PC building game for a few years and coming back into it to build my latest rig, oh boy....

What the hell is going on with product segmentation? It seems like there's a confusing mass of very subtle differences between motherboards and processors that's only spelled out in fine print. Slots that only work in certain configurations if you don't have too many drives or an M.2 card plugged in; no SLI support on motherboards that call themselves 'Gamer' motherboards. Confusing numbers wrt. to PCIe lanes on processors vs. chipsets. Argh.

Is this some conspiracy to make things confusing? Or is there actually some logic behind this that I'm just missing? I'm looking at you Intel & Nvidia....

To anyone in the know, is Android TV a dead platform? It certainly seems that way.

From stock apps that haven't been updated in forever (you _still_ cannot subscribe to channels from the YouTube app, for example) to the fact that the featured games and apps haven't really changed in months, what's the landscape looking like?

Is it a platform worth writing apps for?
