Gregory's Server@CiaraNi I recently needed to buy a TV. There is no options in the world right now except what are comically called "Smart TVs" - badly put-together software stacks designed for marketing and surveillance. It needs setting up of what they call 'apps' (HATE that word) for almost anything, including wireless streaming of paid-for content. If you don't subscribe to a million streaming services the modern TV is a disaster.
I wish for an affordable dumb TV with a good screen instead.
@tchauhan That's a great example of technological bloat. A decent affordable TV that doesn't require digital hoops and apps - a reasonable wish. Though perhaps not any more, in a world where you can buy wifi kettles that you operate by app.
