Between that and the shit apps that you use to watch the various streaming services, it's getting to the point where I'm about to buy a super-cheap laptop to put into the HDMI port, so I can watch through a web browser & block or sidestep some of that shit.
Buy a sceptre 4K screen .. no smart features at all. Hook up whatever device you want, computer, Roku, Apple TV, pi running Kodi ..
I have a smart TV.
It's hooked up to my computer, remote operated with the Unified Remote app.
Here's a handy guide for anyone deciding how get content on their TV:
Gaming Console > Nvidia Shield > Streaming device (roku) > Cable/Satellite TV > TV Antenna > Smart TV Software
Kodi
Apple TV ftw
Much as I hate Apple. The Apple TV UI and setup are great. If there was an open source solution that was as polished as Apple TV is, it would be perfect.
thats why i got a regular flat screen that was on sale. sound system isnt too great, but it looks good! and its fucking enormous
Now that I think about it, advertisers go against themselves when they both push useless shit and collect usage data.
Like, if I keep accidentally clicking on an ad app, and the telemetry shows that I keep clicking on it, then the conclusion might be that I love that particular app?
Well, and the separate app telemetry shows that it always runs for 3 seconds before being closed, so the conclusion is that it needs to be pushed and advertised more?
Mmmm, I love that my tv's remote constantly listens to my conversations and sends recordings back to the maker all under the guise of "improving voice control".
