you act like thats literally the only way we can have milk and eggs. be real man.

eating eggs and milk is not animal cruelty

I have pihole setup too. I’d still never need to connect my tv. but you’re free to do as you want

he also proposed nuking a hurricane…

but yes, democratic leaders have left us, so it’s easy to say both sides are corrupt, especially as long as insider trading and conflicts of interest are OK to them.

if it’s such a problem, then don’t use anything, let your tv be open to the Internet and browser hacks. that’s your prerogative. but we’re telling why it’s a bad idea, that’s all.

i already said why. there are stories where an update now injects ads into the tv, more than were there when you bought it. so after you can’t return it, well, now it’s “updated” and can’t take the piece of shit back.

using a 3rd party device still leaves you in some sort of control. i use an nvidia shield, which definitely does add better functionality, but if it starts acting stupid, i flash it back to defaults/roll back any updates or i replace it, tv unchanged.

and power usage is negligible at best.

here is one story - https://choice.community/t/samsung-now-injecting-ads-into-your-smart-tv/26124

spying - https://money.cnn.com/2015/02/09/technology/security/samsung-smart-tv-privacy/index.html

phone updates can do the same - https://old.reddit.com/r/ShittyDesign/comments/1fqy9rh/samsung_wants_to_turn_my_charging_screen_into_ads/

bottom line, if you don’t control the device, you have no say in what gets update/installed/“upgraded” to support more ads. on an external device, i know how to wipe it/block updates. on the tv, best i could do is factory reset it, im IT, not TV.

also, samsung tvs have a “sleep” mode where with the right button presses, can turn into a recording device where an attacker can see/hear everything in the room. built in backdoors!

bingo. never put the tv on the network, just budget for adding something else. tvs have been known to update after a year and start injecting ads outside return policy LOL. fucking scam’s man. my shield fucks up, it gets flashed. or traded out.

he’s building a list of all the countries he’s been to or wants to go to

you don’t have to be vegan to help stop animal cruelty. there are many, many humane and legit ways to help animals without veganism. not drinking milk or eating eggs doesn’t matter.

more real life cars, but same parent company lol

yup. since my kid was born, we’ve collected them. about 500 last count, all inside, never played with in sand. matchbox ones are cooler though, more real world cars in my opinion.

I hope accurate assinations make a come back if that happens.

hadn’t heard of some of these, will have to check them out thanks

it could be, I’m going off videos and stuff, not my research

or a new smaller tv sitting on top of the old, wood frame tv as a stand now

didn’t even think of that lol

predestination

time crimes

triangle

caddo lake

add those to your list

predestination is a mix then? it’s a loop, but selected time periods.

what about time crimes?

I think it was closer to 15 million
