One reason why I opted for a monitor instead of a TV. AFAIK monitors don't do this shit.

Good luck finding a 65"+ monitor at a reasonable price.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Not everyone needs or has room for huge displays. For those ppl monitors work great.

Yes, worse, but also more money on something you don't own - you just don't get it, bro... It's ~~progress~~ sorry I always confuse those words, profits.

That's terrible. This is why we need Foss

Pihole or similar DNS blocking. I can't recommend it enough. My smart TVs are the #1 offender on my network. The only thing that will try to pull in more ads are my wife's mobile games.

If they can do it, they will. It's ad dollars to them, as good as any others.

Don't let them do it. Buy dumb electronics, or at least smart electronics you can use airgapped.

I rooted my 2013 Samsung TV and overclocked it from 800 to 1200Mhz (the whole system is actually build for 1200Mhz but only the Highend-Ones are qualified for it). To my surprise the amount of data it send to Samsung was quite reasonable but still I removed most of it. Full removal of Internet is not an option because then I lose HbbTV and Prime TV which is like 50% of what I use that device for. And since I rooted it I also use it for BS and the public broadcasting mediatheks. Also, it now runs Quake2 in 1920x1080 in ~20fps.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you own something and it either gets taken away or it gets tarnished in some way, you are fully justified to pirate it...

Is this a samsung tv? If it is one of the cheap tv's like Vizio and such they have this live advertising which is awful. I always buy non-smart TV's but now they actually cost more then the smart ones if you are going for a big 65-85" TV.

You can save the cash and just never let it connect to the internet.

Be careful because they automatically ping around for passwordless wifi

Ah yes I want to watch the exact same thing I am watching but from another provider, definitely just take my money, hypercapitalist

How? Did you got your dvd player hacked?

Most modern TVs have this lovely “feature” called Automatic Content Recognition so papa Google can tell when you’re watching pr0n.
