This is annoying. Idk how we fix it.

Product placement was the least annoying. I’m pretty sure we all wanted to know why the original Daredevil law office had Progresso bread crumbs in their coffee corner, so it’s not like it went unnoticed.

Isn’t that the entire idea behind Windows 11. Well, not the entire, it’s also about DRM.

Apple’s monitors have an entire OS in them. They have much of the same internals as an iPad. Honestly, I have no idea why, because they don’t do anything especially fancy.

Samsung makes “smart monitors” with Tizen or some shit like that.

You get a pirate ship and a nas to store your booty. Maybe a few specter TVs while they exist.

Simple. Don’t buy a TCL television. If you do have one, or any other brand of “smart” TV then for gods sake do NOT connect it to the internet.

I bought a Philips one. Turned off WiFi cause my mom doesn’t use streaming much, and to get rid of those effing “accept cookies?” pop-ups. Every once in a while it suggests to connect to the network. 😑😑

And even then, there have been smart TVs caught sniffing for same brand devices and open networks to connect to the web.

We don’t do “smart” TVs. We set up our own systems.
