What’s the bet this’ll end up with Sky News installed on all new TVs by default.

Make it mandatory to have an option to disable the smart bs.

A dumb TV that is just a monitor and your choice of STB. Our house has an AppleTV as HDMI1 on all devices and a HD HomeRun in the server rack to broadcast LiveTV over the network.

Other people have similar setups using Raspberry Pi’s running various HTPC packages, which I can recommend for those people who aren’t interested in Apple products.

No one should ever need to purchase a FireStick, Roku or Google Home thingy and no one should ever connect their TV directly to their Home Network.

Wow. Everything is bad, except AppleTV and raspberry pi?

Drink any coolaid lately? Do you reply to any Android texts? Or just block them?

As someone who hates Apple, I feel like you didn't even read his comment.

JokeDeity, Thankyou for your support, despite our idealogical differences. This is why I love Lemmy and Mastodon over Reddit and others.

I personally don’t hate Apple, I do see a lot of things that are wrong with their platforms, but I don’t see solutions to these problems in other commercial platforms either , except for the open platforms.
