My piece of shit, $1800 Vizio TV does that. I can’t even default it to a specific input without clicking through an ad.

PC gaming gonna be the only viable one soon. Thank God steamdeck and valve Linux collab are now a thing

God, that’s awful. Is it connected to the Internet or are they internal ads? I suppose you’ve already looked into a piratefix firmware update or something? I have a big roku tv that i keep away from my wifi lest ads sneak into my experience too

I’d kill Internet to it if my wife didn’t leave on random free streaming shit like Pluto to play for the dogs when we leave. The steps it takes for me to get to streamio are nuts. Boot on TV -> close ad and navigation to Fire stick -> listen to auto play ad while piece of shit fire stick loads UI -> finally get to watch what I want.

That’s dystopian nightmare shit. Never buying a smart tv. Fuck having the nicest thing if that’s what it takes to deal with

I’ve really wanted to start tinkering with rasberry pi, so maybe that’ll be a fun first project!

They saw the cans as a challenge and are inching closer and closer to see where the cutoff for bullshit is.
