Anyone with a Pi-hole or similar, you should add these domains to your block list:

proxyjs.brdtnet.com
proxyjs.luminatinet.com
proxyjs.bright-sdk.com
clientsdk.bright-sdk.com
clientsdk.brdtnet.com

Just one more reason my TV will never go on the Internet.

@piepants I genuinely want a TV with open source software. Would be glorious.

@yon @piepants I saw this new interface for KDE Plasma which looks like a good step in the right direction

Plasma Bigscreen

A privacy-respecting, open source and secure TV ecosystem

@megaeggz @piepants While cool I must have been a bit unclear on my end. :( Iā€™m thinking of the firmware. The thing that runs the TV itself. Swaps inputs, does the burn in reduction, auto turn off, screen casting, handles the image, scaling, CEC, and most disturbingly the surveillance.

Having all that be open source so things can be fixed and just do the things we want would be such a boon imho.

A small puck with KDE big screen would be a cool idea though.

@yon @piepants ah yeah that would be cool. I suppose you would have to convince a manufacturer like pimoroni there was a market for something like that. Perhaps regulators need to mandate that more firmware should be open source (for mobile phones too šŸ™Œ)
