Trying to watch the game and do i really want to stare at this BS?

No google. I don’t want your data mining creep. But of course you’re going to make it difficult to remove your intrusion without breaking. I know it’s bad just by the fact that i am unable to remove the message. And there is a timer for how long you long press as proof that i know what i am doing when i decide to sell my soul.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this trash without actually trashing my tv?

    I couldn’t find any properly dumb tvs in a recent search and got a Google TV. You can set it up in “dumb mode” at startup and it never does a thing online. Can even do firmware vis USB if you felt like it for some reason.

    Happy with it so far! 4k and OLED, a decent price imo as well. I’d rather it be fully dumb but this is close enough.

      Same. I didn’t even find a 1080p anymore, let alone a dumb one. So fucking sad…but I don’t ever need a TV at all, it’s just for wifey who uses it as background-noise.

      And it could be even cheaper without their stupid “smart”-crap. But nooooo. Let’s make a TV they maybe can’t even use 10 years later anymore.
