    More than anything, we need to stop buying this shit.

    Or we can pull together and design boards as drop in replacements for the circuit boards in the SmartTVs. I’m shocked at how cheap it is to get custom boards printed these days. Since SmartTVs are sold at a loss with the intent of making even more money by selling your data, replacing the hardware in the device should still end up being cheaper than the cost of an unsubsidized TV.

    With the AI tools available for designing boards now, it shouldn’t be terribly difficult for those with the right skills to do this.
