my Sony tv is goated. The apps on it are crazy. I have a chrome cast built in my tv. But I get it. Smart features on a tv are redundant with these jail broken fire sticks

This man knows

I have an Apple TV and use that as the "base"
yeah I don't have any streaming apps straight on my tv

Interesting. And what's the benefit of this?

you can't really the secure the tv like other devices so a lot of data is being taken from the smart tvs
also the tv is a good hacking tool if connected via wifi

What is this article even about?

I haven't watched "regular TV" in almost a year. I work for Spectrum and get every channel for free and STILL don't hardly ever turn that shyt on..

There's absolutely no way I'm gonna willfully go BACK to anything less than streaming apps on a big ass TV.

As for commercials... I have been surrounded by ads everywhere I go from billboards to radio to TV since I was born.

Im pretty used to them by now.

Now I know who to contact for my shytty spectrum service....

@bnew I am tech illiterate for the most part. Any good books you recommend for people who are tech illiterate?

My Sony TV is starting to show adverts too. It’s a joke but I just use SkyQ and AppleTV anyway.

Pi-hole da gawd. And I basically have it online for updates and stuff like that I use my other devices and the damn thing still tries to phone home 500 times+ cellphones are worse but "smart tv's" are intrusive ass fukk.
