ugh. wanted to get a oled tv but will not buy a smart tv.
Honestly ... Just don't connect the TV to the Internet.
ive been pretty anti consumerist lately so I don't need much to get me to not buy things.
Just keep it offline and get yourself a Nvidia shield as a multimedia station. They are excellent.
yeah I really don't want to have to but that is what I had to do with my fridge. keep it offline.
Same for my dishwasher. I don't even understand why that thing asked for a wifi connection in the first place, it's not like I can remotely unload it or anything. And a notification is perfectly useless when I can just check my watch...
heck I was mad years ago when my microwave wanted to know the year. this stuff is getting rediculous. I need to start a thing like the amish but no internet connections allowed except for computers and phones. well ok cameras and sensors.
Luckily most devices work perfectly fine without internet. And I get the convenience of being able to switch on the heating or lower the window blinds and stuff from the office before leaving so that it's nice at home, but we did that back in the 90s with a simple timer.
most of the time a timer is more useful than remote access. I have been very tempted to pick up a clapper.
