@veer66 I'm in the market for a new TV. I'd love to know when QD-OLED comes to digital signage so I can buy kiosk display. I would love some of these cell repair shops here to specialize in disabling the networking capabilities in these devices. I'd gladly pay 3000฿ to have the chips desoldered.

The downfall of smart TVs: From promises of seamless viewing to ad tool on steroids

Before we start talking about smart TV technology, let's take a short trip down memory lane and recall what television was like without it: it's the early 2000s, your favorite show is on, the action builds to a climax, you're on the edge of your seat.... and there it is, the dreaded commercial break.

@publicvoit +1 I went (X)ubuntu → Crunchbang → Debian → Arch → NixOS. I don’t think there’ll be anything worth switching to for a long while—even as much as I appreciate GNU, Guix is too hardline for me + LISPs aren’t my thing.
Going back to Xmonad from sway has been an experience, but slowly we are getting somewhere. I wanted to stick with Wayland, but no color management and broken screenshare are enough to ruin it.

New laptop in: Lenovo Z13 running NixOS

So far everything has acceptable. The display is not quite as good as my last (Asus Flip OLED + Tiger Lake), but OLED with 100% DCI-P3 coverage (97% AdobeRGB) as measured by my colorimeter. Trackpad feels slower, but clicks better. The Ryzen 6860Z runs about twice as fast and the devices gets about 70% more battery purely due to efficiency.

The hitches: BIOS menu is slow and was a little confusing what all needed to be disabled to get a good boot due to all the stupid Microsoft-imposed lock-in features. Upgrades don't require Windows which is an improvement to my older Razer Blade, but it's not just a simple *.bin file, but you need to `dd` an ISO which mean you need a drive that's okay to overwrite rather than just plopping a file in. The BIOS still constantly beeps with "self-healing" message every boot despite the upgrade.

@cwt @veer66 but what is it called? I'm not on FreeBSD 😅😅
@cwt @veer66 Neither. TTY.. so while the system boots and initial login prompt
