“copyright industry continues efforts to remove locks from homes so they can come in and inspect your media for piracy any time they want”

Great. So half my software won’t work.

Google, just call it what it is. Ad blocking prevention.

Did you install the play store

Yeah that’s the one thing that worries me about buying a new car. Mine are old right now

Nothing.

Not sure about the “modem” thing, always has worried me though. You mean like an LTE chip?

Guess I don’t think about the open network thing because:

1. Nobody, not even router makers, deliver open network by default anymore

2. I don’t have any other wifi signals in my area other than my own

Yup I get it, on mine I can customize my buttons. I have a one push button for Plex

I meant wouldn’t be a requirement for the operating system to have built into it.

I agree, but you can completely ignore the smart tv features and just use your hdmi pretty instead.

1930-01-01, done. But this shouldn’t be a requirement to begin with either.

Just don’t connect it to the internet 🤷‍♂️

I’m tempted to go back to htpc lol. The tracking is so bad these days. I need to block the mac of my tv (Google tv) and just do a tiny PC or something instead.

Same play as always. Bullies countries and corps to get what he wants. As long as it serves him that’s all he cares about.

It’s about time I flash that onto my pixel 6 pro.

Ya I used to do this but didn’t for this install. I think I’m just going to make a new partition or slap in another disk for the OS and my out the manjaro disk as my home and blow away the rest of the OS.

Funny how you assume how much time is enough when you have no idea who I am and what I have going on lol

What? ID?

Exactly. No thanks. Nothing is ever “free”.

Switching distros was not on my agenda. 🙃
