So this is why my TV walked into the bathroom while I was dropping a deuce. 🤔

While they are at it take a look at car manufacturers too.

So which brand is the better of em? I just received my pi so I’ll set up a pi hole but I need a tv. I looked at conference room monitors and they’re too expensive, even on eBay. I could just not connect it to the net, yes, but I can tell ya right now that the other people in the house will definitely connect it to the net and not have patience for using the pc, etc

I bought a commercial digital signage TV. No Roku/Chromecast/whatever, but the damn thing STILL has Ethernet and Wi-Fi and nagged me about setting it up on the internet. I'm only buying computer monitors from here on out.

Even monitors are beginning to become "smart" now...

I dumbedcmy smart tv by disconnected it from the internet. The stupid thing is the tv was requesting internet connection to work, so I had to put it on my network and then block everything so the tv pouted and then shut up.

Now I switch to a Fire tv usb stick on it but god I hate it..

Don’t forget that if you connect external devices to them, they’re also taking snapshots of the content “so they can serve targeted ads”.
