I don’t want a dumb TV, and I don’t want to choose between “convenience and privacy” - I want a TV with a slot for basically a RasPi cartridge I can slot in that runs my own goddamn OS as the smart TV. This isn’t rocket science. This shouldn’t require compromise. Imagine if in 1995 every desktop PC had Windows 95 hardwired into the motherboard as the only OS that could boot; it’s deranged.

The real problem is that there’s no profit in any of the innovation we actually want, and that’s capitalism’s fault for being unable to deliver.

The image is AI generated. No one is suggesting they aren’t. Did you want us to somehow get a dozen people together, make some signs, and take a photo for an article you’re going to forget about by the end of the day? That’s ridiculous. Grow up.

(Because nothing’s worse than unsourced/unbacked accusations)
