Check out rootmy.tv to jailbreak your LG smart TV. Depending on the model and firmware, there could be additional steps you need to take, but in my case, since I still had the stock firmware installed, it was just a single slide of a button on the TV's web browser.

That phone was the coolest thing, it's such a shame how it died. I've still got mine lol, I can get it to boot and play that one flight sim game you could buy on the app store.

You don't even need to jailbreak LG ones, just enable developer mode, install webosbrew, and install things like youtube adfree and space cadet pinball

There's a website called rootmy.tv that can help you find or execute roots right off the TV's web browser. When I bought the TV, I hadn't connected it to the Internet a single time, so it still had the stock firmware. I could just type in the URL and click a single button - that's it. Depending on the firmware, model and brand, this could look different for you. Also I'm not sure if this only works for LG TVs - might have to do some research to find a suitable method for yours.

That also sounds very practical. I'd love to get into Pis sometime, but the RAM fiasco is making them quite expensive for my current budget, sadly.

By default? Maybe.

But there are both global and granular Windows policies to tweak this. I disabled the device driver specifically, as I do like plug-and-play for other devices.

No, I just mean windows update will pull an LG “driver” and install it to your system automatically when it detects the display.
