Disabling ads is easy, don't connect it to the internet ever

Same.

I equate Samsung TVs with HP printers. I would rather go without than have to put up with their nonsense.

The BS really makes the follow up statement believable

You can block them with a Pi-hole. ^DNS

The two people in charge of Samsung UK's social media account are named Hanita Anita and Blorbo Spurlock.

I haven't had a tv in years, and every time I get tempted by the screen size I have to remind myself about this shit. It's just me, 30 inches is enough, and I haven't seen an ad within my own home since 2012 (not entirely true, I've changed browsers a few times and had to re-setup adblockers).

Ah, 2021, when cryptobros were all in on NFTs, which was totally the best thing ever and totally not a greater fool scam, you guys!

Why do people buy Samsung bullshit? Honestly. Weren't the multiple products known to catch on fire enough? No, you need more than "products might catch fire" and "everything they make is enshittified to the max"?

Ever since my Samsung Galaxy S5 got an update that fucked it in every single way, I decided that there are no exceptions to the shittiness they work into their products.

Fuck Samsung. Stop buying their awful, overpriced, bloated, half-functional, fuck-ass engineered e-waste. They might even be worse than apple and that's saying something.

The hardware they use on these TVs is complete shit* anyway, so your actually better off not using them for anything other than a TV. Buy an android box or one of those mini PCs instead.

*every time I saw the specs of these "smart" TVs a few years back, I would internally scream. I don't know if it has improved since, but I highly doubt it.

This isn't cropped nearly enough. I can still barely see the punchline.

2 easy solutions:

• Don't connect your TV to the internet
• If you need an internet connection for some reason, run a network-wide DNS filtering solution like Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home, and make sure to set it as the default DNS server in your router

^OK

If they stop selling dumb TVs, I won't own another TV in my life. Not even being funny right now.

NextDNS has filters for Samsung TV's.
