Some people like the Apple ecosystem.

In fact, forget the EV!

You could set up a dummy LAN with no internet access for the tv. Unless it actually has more than one network card, it would need to be able to have the ability to virtualize network interfaces to connect elsewhere, and I really doubt these TVs are that smart.

I have the Ubiquiti Edgerouter X. I got it mostly because at the time it was on sale 😂 but it seems to have decent support. Note that you will have to get a wireless AP as the Edgerouter is a pure router without WiFi function. Lots of people also like Mikrotik products.

pi-hole ftw. the vast majority of my pi-hole’s DNS drops are from various Roku and Roku-like devices. Also, put all your IoT stuff onto a guest network, or if your gear supports it, on its own VLAN.

Linux runs great on Intel iMacs. Just sayin’.

You can block YouTube ads simply by connecting to an Albanian VPN server.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I am not a coder but using chatGPT I was able to take someone else’s simple program and modify for my own needs within just a few hours of work. It’s definitely not perfect and you still need to put in some work to get your program to run exactly the way you want it to but it’s using chatGPT is a good place to start for beginners, as long as they understand that it’s not a magic tool.

Frivolous? Yes. Fun? 😬😬😬

Meh. I’m team BlendTec. They’d probably make a commercial for this. “Next on Will It Blend! Fashion models!”

Not sure what to think of this. I have frontier right now and it mostly works. When there was a power outage a few weeks ago the fios network still worked. Years ago we had Verizon wireless and it was overpriced and not great service - switched to T-Mobile and have never looked back. My only other option where i live is Spectrum, which is no bueno.

You don’t have to get a mobile number. You can get a number from a voip provider. Those numbers can accept sms usually. Usually cheaper than mobile number and you can access from your phone with a SIP client.

I forget who said it, but an American general once said “Amateurs discuss tactics; professionals discuss logistics.”

Without jpeg compression artifacts how the hell are we supposed to know which memes are fresh and which memes are vintage???

lmfao. At one point the Logitech mouse driver for MacOS was a 1GB download. They want me to pay for that shit??? gtfo.

Not to my understanding?
