Just found some LG business TVs/displays/signage that actually run Tizen. Remember that cool Linux distro that was supposed to take over the mobile world nearly 15 years ago? Well, turns out, it didn’t, but it didn’t it die completely either.
Hopefully those panels are a bit more hackable or more privacy oriented.
Alternatively, you could also get a 40+” monitor. Avoid Samsung, because nowadays they are really pushing their spyware everywhere, including displays. Some other brands should be fine though.
I wonder if anyone has made a custom rom for TVs, sort like Lineage or Graphene. These panels run Android, so why not?
Someone should make a wall of shame for the worst offenders.
It certainly was cool and popular from day one. However, it was also spyware from day one. Tech magazines wrote reviews about it, but the hype train was going so fast at the time that people somehow ignored the privacy aspect.
Nowadays people are beginning to realize just how evil it has always been.
Really depends on the company. For example American ISPs definitely do that, but then again they aren’t really privacy oriented anyway. Look for an email company that is more privacy focused. Companies like that aren’t really playing the same game as Amazon, Microsoft and other.
It’s a package deal in each case, so you’re not really getting the same thing.
Of course, people don’t see equal value in these things. You might not appreciate privacy as much as someone else, and that’s ok. You make your own compromises based on your personal values. We all make compromise at some point.
But maybe you would pay for the service of someone else doing all the server stuffs and software development on your behalf? If you’re a paying customer, the company should also respect you and your privacy.
On the other hand, if you’re using the service for free, then the incentives suddenly shift towards you being the product.
Feels somewhat familiar, doesn’t it.
If you watch smaller channels, you’ll find something to map. Even though the video is several days old, you’re the first sponsor block user watching it.
