I need some advice on something somewhat childish.
My brother and I are roomies on an apt., each one's got a room for our own. Our uncles got us a Roku (a streaming device for non-smart TVs; like a Chromecast or Apple TV) for both of us.
We have no living room TV, so the thing has to go on either of our rooms. I offered my brother buying a Chromecast for myself, he would pay ONLY 33% of it and then he could keep the Roku for himself, but he said he wasn't willing to spend so much on it and rather share.
The thing is that he uses this shit too much, and he's suggesting that whenever one of us wants to use it we have to go to the other's room to unplug it and shit... just because he wants to save some buck. And not just that, it's not his case, but in my room the outlets for the TV are on the fucking ceiling, so each time I'd like to plug/unplug the thing I'd need to go get a ladder.

I have two options but none of them are fair:
>A) Buy the Chromecast myself and he keeps the Roku for free
>B) Accept to do what he suggests and get fucked

What the fuck do I do?

If you're that bothered just buy yourself a chromecast

Then the chromecast is yours. But the roku still belongs to the both of you so you can still go and steal it back half the time and he can't complain unless he pays towards the chromecast

The obvious thing to do would be to pay half each for a new one and then keep one each.

>purposefully go steal the Roku just to mess with him
You're technically right. But just because my brother can be an ass, doesn't mean I enjoy being one.

That's what I offered him! I even told him he only had to pay 1/3 of the price and still said no.

Well then either share or buy your own chromecast and move on

Also, aren't there some things the roku can do that the chromecast can't? Just say those are the features you want to use whenever you take it.

Remember, its not stealing if its 50% yours

Then buy your own. You get to keep it if your uncle says he wants it back.
