Cheap TVs' incessant advertising reaches troubling new lows

  Televisions, not just the cheap ones, became wholly unacceptable to me years ago because of the spying and this sort of crap. I'm sick and tired of devices and software that I have to treat like an enemy, and I'm deeply saddened that I have to assume that all electronics and software are my enemy until proven otherwise anymore. On the plus side, it means I save a lot of money by not buying electronic devices.

    Much as I resist Apple's smooth-walled garden, detaching my smart TV from the network and using it purely as an Apple TV monitor has been freeing. Sucks to not have money, you're subjected to trash.
