“So you want deviled ham, ma’am?”

I’m retired and have basically unlimited time. I still don’t like most games.

Those people who complain that it’s all Linux all the time are feeling pretty foolish right now, aren’t they?

There are two ways to do it. The first is to use iOS content blockers that you get from the App Store. At a minimum you’ll want AdGuard. I also use Baking Soda, Banish, Extract, Vinegar, and StopTheMadness. (Yes those are all apps.)

If you want to go the free-ish route you can use the Orion browser, from the App Store, which then allows you to use Firefox plugins.

Either way, you can and should delete the YouTube app and watch through your browser after installing whichever filters you choose.

The Samsung tries to “identify” what’s on an hdmi input before it will connect. It seems to call out to the internet to do that because it takes forever to fail and show you the display anyway when it’s not connected to the internet. Even when it is connected, it takes a stupidly long time to switch to a new input. I super hate it and will never buy another samsung tv.

I guess the lg needs to boot tizen before it works, because I see the logo briefly but then it goes directly to the last used input with no other bullshit, so it’s fine with me.

I love how literally nobody is answering your actual question.

I agree that this is problematic and we need TV reviews to include at least some of the information you cite.

If it helps, I have an LG smart TV. It complains if you don’t let it access the internet at setup, but if you connect it once and let it do its initial patching, you can decline all agreements and not get nagged until it tries to update again. To keep it from further updates, you can disconnect it from wifi and it doesn’t seem to try to reconnect. I can’t speak to public wifi because there aren’t any open access points near my TV.

In contrast, I have a samsung TV that loses its mind if it can’t connect to the internet and becomes basically useless for all the nagging.

Why must you fail me so often? FUUUUCK!!!

The horse archers in civ 6 are so pathetically lame that the only reason to build even one is to get 3 points toward a golden age. The computer builds swarms of them, of course, but anything can kill them, even a recon unit.

This is why I use a right angle connector cable and gaffer tape the cable to the back or bottom of the keyboard. It’s fugly but it prevents this exact problem.

I’m with you. If there weren’t health and social complications, I’d be wishing for full-blown alopecia.

I’m super lazy. I started losing my hair at age 14 and it was pretty much all over by 30. I didn’t give in and start shaving the fringes until 40-something

My solution to the problem was to preemptively lose all my hair in my thirties but yours probably works too.

You can debloat an NVIDIA shield android tv box, replace the default launcher, then install whatever else you want. It’s probably not perfect but it’s pretty darn good. That’s what I use and it can be updated without losing any of my customization.

It depends a LOT on where you are. In the USA, Canada, and (I think) Mexico, such a thing is not possible, at least in any way that the services you mentioned will care.

It might be possible in places where phone numbers don’t have a fixed length, like (again, I think) Germany.

The story is good, the gameplay very good, and the visuals absolutely stunningly wonderful. I recommend it without reservations

Option 2

I never use wifi outside of my home. I have unlimited cellular data, so why would I bother?
