You know what would be nice?

An "open firmware" project, where people produce and share FOSS firmware for common household devices, replacing the manufacturer's firmware with a decrapified version.

A smart TV? Reflash it with FOSS firmware, which removes tracking, calls to the manufacturer's servers, and any Internet-connected services that you don't want?

A printer? It's now yours. No ink subscription, or need for an app to print remotely.

And so on.

A man can dream, eh.

@neil I got curious and there’s something going around https://github.com/openlgtv and https://github.com/opensource-hisense 😮
openlgtv

openlgtv has 17 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
