Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at an alarming discovery where it turns out viewing ads on your system without even inte...
Same, if I get an ad in a youtube video and realize I didn’t install ublock or something, I literally rage quite the browser tab, get ublock, then go back. I can’t even watch youtube on my TV, I have to use smarttube. Shits insane.
There’s a sub set of people who get upset if you tell them that get upset when you saying watching content on a smart TV is the worst experience, and will call me dumb for using a PC connected to a dumb TV.
They argue that its silly to have to use a mouse and keyboard to type out things in the living room as they spend 10 minutes chicken pecking out one word on their remote control.
That and all the service providers know they are mouth breathers and intentionally give them more ad time because they know they won’t do anything about it.
You can’t even buy a decent television anymore because there’s more money in the money they get from prebundling spyware on the TV. Then fucking tv manufacturers use your TV as a proxy so ai and Israel not farms can use your residential IP to scrape the internet and write fake reviews. Stuff that you aren’t allowed to do but some how this is all just business. Disney would have your ass in a federal prison with no chance of parole yet they can rape and pillage the entire internet.
I’ve been thinking about those ever since smart TVs took over the market. I’m still using my over 15 year old FullHD TV with my HTPC. Is there something I should know about those commercial displays before buying one?
LOL. Same. My tolerance for ads has dropped down to zero over the years of aggressively blocking them. The more you block ads, the more you realize how much you hate them. Once you start using DNS level blocking, there’s no way back.

I bought a used commercial display. It’s great!

Watch the inputs to make sure your setup will work, but otherwise not really
I would way rather use a remote. But I’m so close to just reinstalling a PC for my media center again lol

Yeah and it must go beyond that because of DNS over TLS and such.
