What's special about 8.2.3 vs the latest firmware? I've only owned my Shield for a few months so I'm curious what I may be missing.

Class action suit against Nvidia for effectively removing local Gamestream from the Shield. Mine's a $200 brick now.

I'm sad about this, because I use Moonlight for the same purpose, and there doesn't seem to be any good reason for this? It's just removing a feature.

They're moving to streaming your "Connected Apps" (Steam, EA, etc) through their cloud stream service now.

I'm mad since I only bought the Shield in September for the sole purpose of local desktop streaming.

I played around with Moonlight for about 15 minutes but have yet to get it work the same. I do love there's an open source solution but I'll probably be going with an AMD build for the first time in my life instead of Intel/NVidia because of this.

I think its about external storage: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/yjt6aq/wha...

Not really relevant if you're mostly streaming on the box or streaming locally from a file/plex server

I'm not sure either, are they referring to the shitty new home screen courtesy of Google? That comes in separate of the firmware.
