I’m mostly sailing the high seas, using the tv as a giant monitor for the always-on laptop connected to it. I’m afraid of the 1984-esque “You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV” that might come after some time.

    Yeah, for sure. No argument from me there. As long as you’re aware of what’s going on and your scale is set that way on purpose I have no issue with that at all.

    Again, I’m making a point about ignorance. People who hear about TVs being a massive cesspool of spyware (accurate) and just move the cesspool around to other similarly compromised devices because they’re reacting to the meme and don’t understand what the risk is supposed to be.

    If you know what you’re leaking I have no issue with you choosing which leaks to live with, man. I just want to clarify to people who may not know that making a plug out of the bottom of their boat is not gonna keep them from leaking.
