I suspect in the near future it will be impossible to buy a TV without spyware/adware. The only option will be to not connect it to the internet and run your own Raspberry PI/SBC based solution.
That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

Oligarchs are going to do oligarch things.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Macedonia, Botswana or the US.
It’s fair to call people who white-wash authoritarianism, genocide and roleplay as communists tankies.
This is not a matter of different opinions. They openly support the russian invasion, the atrocities of the russian occupation and reject Ukrainian identity and self-determination.
It’s the literal definition of the word.
I agree with you. IMO, it’s not that different.
The big difference is between the tankie LARPer instances (lemmygrad, hexbear, parts of lemmy.ml) and the rest of the major instances.
The issue being discussed does not fall under defamation.
You would be fine with AI-gen porn images of your teenage daughter being distributed around the internet?
I believe it’s notably worse. The focus seems to be more on industrial use cases with stationary batteries.
This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
Even if you are not doing anything particularly sketchy, you still want to make a habit of using multiple unrelated email addresses and always using alts with new unrelated names.
That’s some pretty bad opsec, using a single email address with the same nick.
I get that. Sounds stupid. I mean hitler.rocks? Or nuke.africa?
It is probably good that they are shutting down.
I have a feeling premium TVs won’t escape adware/spyware either. They can get their margin on the hardware and earn some more money on spyware; I don’t see what incentive they have to not do both. I hope I am wrong though.
