  • All the most recent OLEDs are smart TVs, the only thing I could think of that isn’t are basically things classified as digital signage but these panels aren’t really tuned for watching at home.

    But your best bet is to use the TV as a display for whatever you have and switching inputs old school style. Connect it once to do software updates. Unplug from wall and don’t give it your wifi password or vlan it off the internet. Otherwise they’re all sending data back about you, and your consumption habits.








  • I feel like we’re seeing a lot of money leave tech. These companies are no longer getting cash injections and running into the red. The number one game for them now is revenue generation and that is through user fees and advertising. That’s why we’re seeing this shit now.

    A lot of these platforms (Twitter/Reddit) started off simple and never took into account advertising. That means third party apps never got the ad feed in the general timeline.

    Seeing their infinite funds dry up, these companies are now looking for where they can generate extra revenue, or where they are not generating revenue and making cuts.

    These APIs cost them money. So now they’re making the gamble. Will their users tolerate losing their favourite apps to a privacy invading and ad serving machine just to access their feeds?
