    I’m guessing you had to actually grow up and care for your own needs and figure out how to navigate the real world.

    This emerald-spoon fed motherfucker has never had to do a thing for himself. The most significant things he learned after preschool was likely reading and writing.



  • Yes they do and I do add my own tech but my experience with some of these devices has not been great.

    I have LG TVs which I connected to the network and have been updated over the years to have really bad UX and are now polluted with ads.

    I had an LG sound bar that was great for a while until it completely stopped working. Powers on, all functions seem to work, just no sound. Originally it worked as a Chromecast device too, but they stopped doing updates and Google stopped working with the old API.

    My fear is that eventually there will be an update that bricks a device. Now I’ve taken them off the network, but how long before we have TVs that require Internet to even function.

    These smart TVs have a lot more hardware and software than they need which means a lot more to break.
