Get a dumb TV and plug in a cheap computer where you can pirate everything

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago

They simply don't exist anymore. The only choice is to do this with a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

I'm not sure they exist, but either way, just plug something in and don't connect the TV itself to the internet.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Sceptre has some dumb TVs. You can also still get the display TVs that companies use. I'm drunk so I forget what they're called.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Oh that's a point, probably not cheap though, maybe not good for home cinema? Not heard of Sceptre, will check out. I'm happy just not connecting my TV mind you.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Sceptre is cheapo stuff. And at least one brand of smart TV is wardriving to find networks behind your back (again, drunk, I can't remember which right now) and creating mesh networks with other TVs of the same type.

That is a pretty horrific thing. Policy is so far behind if that is allowed.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I must say, your typing is flawless for a drunk person.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Learned skill. I spend a lot of time drunk and Android tends to do a pretty good job of guessing what I'm swiping.

I also tend to reread what I wrote when I'm drunk. I actually generally do a worse job sober because I won't double check my work.

And it was signage displays for the dumb TVs I was thinking of, and Sharp TVs used to have unsecured wireless networks that you couldn't really turn off, so they'd make a mesh with other smart TVs. I believe I've heard the same thing about Samsung as well.

Now it's time to go jog myself sick.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
