Comment on ‘Invasive, deceptive, and unlawful’: Texas says your TV is tracking you illegally, and is suing to stop the dreaded Automatic Content Recognition

I’d actually prefer a dumb TV, we only use jellyfin anyway and that could be served by some raspy or similar. But they’re extinct it seems. At least modern ones with 4 or 8k.

I hate this dumbing down of everything.

Yes, I couldn’t find one when my old LG from 2012 died. I did not activate wifi, added TV antenna. I already have Chromecast TV so I’m tracked enough, thanks.

  Really sad. We could even save a good portion of bucks due to all the shit noone needs. I can only imagine the crap pre-installed on Samsung TVs or other of those horrible bloat-brands.

Best Buy Insignia series are dumb. At least the three 40 inch ones I have.

  Non USA here, so no best buy. Got a google-tv now with basically nothing on it, heavy firewalling that device off and using only jellyfin. I hate it but…

  Thats good to know… before finding out about that just now, I thought Scepter was the only brand left that made dumb TVs.
