I've never noticed ads on mine, but I basically just go immediately to Fubo or ESPN apps and that's all do with it. I don't watch much on TV other than live sports.
Well that sucks, but maybe tolerable for a cheap TV if you only have to do it once.

I meant, I treat the TV as "just a screen."

Set the input to "HDMI-1" or whatever my Roku is connected to, and that's the last thing I touch on the TV remote.

IDK. People are always going to want to connect game consoles, computers, etc to big screens without a lot of fuss.

Just use an AppleTV, Roku, etc. and connect it to the HDMI port.

TV is just a screen. That is how I've used mine for the last 5+ years.

I thought we were all told a few years ago that it wasn't possible to rig an election, at least not to any degree that would change the outcome. A lot of people were called crazy or worse for believing it might be possible.

> Companies claiming 100% of their product's code is now written by AI consistently put out the worst garbage you can imagine. Not pointing fingers, but memory leaks in the gigabytes, UI glitches, broken-ass features, crashes

One thing about the old days of DOS and original MacOS: you couldn't get away with nearly as much of this. The whole computer would crash hard and need to be rebooted, all unsaved work lost. You also could not easily push out an update or patch --- stuff had to work out of the box.

Modern OSes with virtual memory and multitasking and user isolation are a lot more tolerant of shit code, so we are getting more of it.

Not that I want to go back to DOS but Wordperfect 5.1 was pretty damn rock solid as I recall.
