HackerTube vs CouchTV

HackerTube is an app for watching the talks and activities of the Chaos Computer Club. It is not officially affiliated with the CCC. The Chaos Computer Club is Europe's largest hacker community and allows people with a wide range of interests from all over the world to meet up and discuss various topics. The club generally meets in small groups/get-togethers, but also hosts large conferences. Here they tinker, talk and exchange ideas. Technical barriers are overcome, new things created and old ones taken apart. Discussions range from technological to political and social topics, with a focus on communication and exchange of ideas and information. For over fifteen years, the Chaos Computer Club has created videos to document the many talks and activities, many of which are available via various platforms. The HackerTube app now allows users to comfortably access this video material via their Apple TV and provides an insight into the club's activities. Just relax on your couch, select the HackerTube app and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of the Chaos Computer Club!
