The free market doesn't seem so keen on modifications, see phones, laptops etc. All walled gardens where even repair is discouraged.
- vortico 5y agoHow so? I can buy a modified Thinkpad (https://minifree.org/product/libre-t440p/ https://minifree.org/product/libre-t440p/ or http://www.cnmod.cn/x210/ http://www.cnmod.cn/x210/) because enough people demand it. If enough people demand dumb TVs but their niche prices far exceed smart TVs, then people will begin selling modified smart TVs without cell chips for mutually fair prices.
