There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

Let me introduce you to the world of a Netflix user in Austria:
IT S*CKS.
You get just a fraction of the full pallet of Movies, and the serieses on Netflix AT are pretty old already or Netflix Originals. There is a rather simple solution to that:
Proxmate or Smartflix or somthing along those lines.
My problem:
I want to watch Netflix in my livingroom, where no PC is present. So my first thought was
"Getting a Raspberry Pi3 and installing Chrome/Firefox/Opera with the Proxmate plugin"
Well that didnt work as intented. Couldnt get the plugin to work and i also couldnt get netflix to work on any linux distro i tried on the Pi3
I also tried it with a Amazon Fire TV Stick and a VPN, but Netflix somehow blocked them..
Building a HTPC is super overkill in many ways because I litterally only want to get U.S.-Netflix on my TV and nothing else.
My question now is:
How can i get Netflix to run @1080p/60fps in Firefox/Chrome/Opera with the proxmate plugin or using the Smartflix client with the most barebones device possible.
Can someone here help me with that?
my budget would be up to ~ 200€
