Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!
You know me, I'm a big fan of subtlety. But that's downright cryptic.

Does the TV still function if it loses internet connectivity? What about if you have a Pi-hole and block the incoming advertising and outgoing data but keep the actually useful smart TV functionality working?

Like, you can do this with existing smart tv's and they will still function.

I don't have my TV connected to the internet--have never entered my password or anything into it--and I never update it but somehow it manages to update itself every few months

Youre giving us your demographics, your psychographics at the individual and household level before you even get your device, so we know who you are, we know where you live, we know your income, we know what car youre driving, we know when your lease is up

The only TV tech I want is picture in picture, so I can watch two shows at once.

This is going to flop so hard. Can't be that difficult for the end user to disable the ad shit.

A free TV is still a free TV. And I'm sure somebody will figure out an undetectable jailbreak or screen/camera cover.

Just enough to not be sent an invoice.

From a technical standpoint, the integrated sound bar, camera, and 2nd screen are nice things to have.

Just want to use them as I please.

I really hope the ads aren't in perpetuity. There has to be a break even point where they just say "fuck it".

Like these, I get nostalgia from them. The other day I had nostalgia from watching several 2001 commercials of myself having seen those same commercials it was like inception

This is literally the big brother tv.
The only thing it's missing is monitoring you to enforce a daily exercise routine and even . . . I could see that being next, especially in China or places with UHC where they could argue it's for the good of the state. Losing social credits if you don't put 15 min of lunges in front of it.

They boiled the frog on this one.
This tv literally would and causes a civil war in the 90s. Ted Kaczynski and other anti-technology luddites would have been fucking sanctified.

This tv does way more than just play ads constantly.

Gonna be honest, have strong doubts that your tv isn't connected to a network.

Will probably have a redundancy, like an LTE modem built-in.
