    Have a regular PC hooked up to the TV. That’s my smart machine. I control every aspect of it. Fuck Smart TVs.

      Raspberry pi with Kodi hooked up to a projector and a NAS serving files works well for me.

        This is the way, although the pi is to slow for me at this point and I replaced it with shields.

        Also why the are people connecting tvs to their networks…fuck that noise.

    I’m glad that I stopped watching television so many years ago (excluding watching the thing at a friend’s place (and muting it when the commercials start rolling)).

    Watched only movies in the end. But the ads were too much.

    PC & Adblock 💗

    If you really need a smart TV in 2025, go get a dumb one, and then hook it up to a used nettop or a single-board computer like Raspberry Pi. You can use a cheap USB infrared receiver to control it via regular remote.

    Install something like Plasma Bigscreen, and you’ll be golden.
