How old are they? We bought an LG TV 1 or 2 years ago and it has a lot of online features and keeps prompting me to make an account and accept various terms and conditions for their advertising or to let them listen to the microphone and such. I think it's mostly optional but they don't make it easy to opt out

Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

Here in Canada at least they have both at the moment. You can use the drive thru as usual or order through the app and give them a code at the drive thru or just park in a numbered spot and have them bring it out to you without ever talking to someone

Newsgroups go over an encrypted connection so no need to mess with VPNs and torrent boxes etc. subscribe to one or two nzb sites, a news group host and wire it up with somarr locally.
