It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn’t matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

I suspect that this is a smart TV being used as a monitor.

It’s monitoring your activity and smartly displaying ads. Working as advertised!

Seriously! What is smart about these things? It’s smart not to buy this bullshit. It’s 1984 doublespeak just like the “open” in “OpenAI”.
