Lol. As a software engineer, give me the non-smart version of every appliance, home feature, and television. It's why I went with a projector over a TV.
collapsed inline media
Classic!
smart tv: what is my purpose?
me: HDMI 1
Which projector do you use?
I use an Epson and just hook up Roku for streaming or use a nearby PC. It has Android TV, but I never use it.
Wait, so you got a projector to avoid the smart features of a tv, but the projector has the smart features anyways, you just don't use them?
What was the point of getting a projector over a tv?
For the size/space, and portability. Plus I'm an Android Developer, so I can play around with the Android stuff and disable a lot of stuff if needed. And I use it to test some of my apps. But never for anything else. But it is far better than the garbage that is Samsung by miles. It's streets ahead.
Unfortunately lots of affordable projectors are also "smart" these days, running some kind of Android TV
Yeah, but affordable projectors sadly all are garbage in the first place, regardless of being smart or not
Car, computer, printer, stove, TV etc...
How long until we have no real choice? The vast majority of TVs are smart TVs now
But at least, for now, they still require you to connect to a network to receive updates and ads. Once they connect with no user interaction, to non-home networks, then we will be fucked!
One of these companies is gonna do a cost analysis on how much they could be making in additional ad revenue and how much it would cost to equip all their TVs with 5g antennas and pay for the data.
