There are all sorts of mini-pcs which you can install multimedia operating systems to and then have a smart tv which is fully under your control - and all you need is a large enough monitor with an hdmi port. It'd probably even run fine on a raspberry pi 3 or 4

@wishbonefan Ай бұрын

Exactly. None of these problems existed when we just had regular ass TVs. No internet, no updates, no spyware, just the TV. Nowadays those kinds of TVs are getting hard to find and they're forcing us to use these terrible smart TVs, which are all terrible. They're also basically useless for most things since it doesn't let you change the aspect ratio to 4:3 like normal TVs.

@generalrubbish9513 Ай бұрын

My guess would be consumerism. If your smart dongle breaks, or you want to upgrade to a new one, you only have to buy a new dongle while keeping your old TV. If your smart TV breaks, or you want to upgrade to a new one, you have to buy an entire TV. The more hardware you have to replace on a regular basis, the more money they get to make off of you.

There’s a captain disillusion video explaining it. interlacing is a thing where on Cathode Ray tube TVs, since the image would dim at the top by the time the light got to the bottom, most TV signals split images into stripes to double the fps of TV video and keep the whole picture the same level of brightness. but it would cause the images to have stripey ghosting artifacts if things moved too much between frames.

A couple years ago I got a standalone Roku because I liked the simplicity of it as well as the fact that the menus are very fast and there are is minimal advertising on the home page. Hopefully Roku won't keep changing for the worst.

I for one am glad that ROKU has filed a patent for showing ads on your pause screen. Hopefully, they'll copyright it so that other tv brands can't do it and I will buy one of those

@AshJeepWolf Ай бұрын

Yes, Roku has the patent for it. Unfortunately this does not mean other brands cannot do this. Other brands can either find loopholes in the patent or they can pay Roku for the ability to use their technology in other hardware (if Roku would agree to that, and let's be honest I'm sure Roku is excited to make as much money as possible off this technology and I'm sure advertisers cannot wait to have their ads play as much as possible and I'm sure brands besides Roku are well aware of this and would love a piece of the pie).

Right now Roku has made it so that my live channels aren't even in numerical order. I hate this TV. My local antenna channels disappear every couple of days, and I have to rescan them. I just want to watch some local news.

Or Tesla Deactivating driver's cars for a missed payment/late payment, until payment is resorted oh and Tesla not allowing use of a loan for outright buying of car so what you do is get loan and have in bank for paying on a minimum of $60,000 car, about as much as a pre owned house is in cheaper parts of USA.

Is interlacing the correct description for that first thing? Judging by the description and article titles, I think interpolation was what’s being talked about, aka creating frames where there wasn’t any to “smooth out” movement.
