@Samsung privacy and ad settings are horrid. Never a company did so much for me to consider an #iPhone

Get a Raspberry pi and set up #pihole on it, you can then block the adds that show up!

Mine used to be stopped by a pihole, however I could not use Disney+ on the TV consistently without it keep signing me out. I do need to reenable it at some point and diagnose properly.

My samsung tv has started to lag in the menus. Is there a good tv with app support but no ads?
Replying to @internetofshit
This is why I will never connect a tv to the internet.

My Samsung Smart TV is an 82" display for my nVidia Shield ^^

According to the rest of the article you should just avoid buying TVs at all at this point as it seems all of them feature unremovable ads now.

I guess I was lucky that my Smart TV’s WiFi died before they did this

Pihole for the win
