I have one of these and I'm never buying a Samsung again. I didn't buy a name brand 4k tv to look at ads in the fucking menu
Replying to @internetofshit
Thank you for reminding me not to buy a Samsung TV. Ever.

My TV isn't connected to the internet. I use Roku and HTPC.

I'm one of these people... sprung $1,000 for a TV that shows me ads for shit I already own.
Replying to @internetofshit
Yeah. It's worse and worse. For a few years now, I've been on the lookout for an Open Source TV, but nothing seems to come :/

WTF? If I paid 2 grand on a TV the only ads I'd accept (or not, because I don't watch classic TV anyway) are those which are part of the regular TV program...

I have a Samsung Gear watch. It's pretty, and it counts my steps and measures my heart rate. But the companion Samsung Health app shows ads, often for questionable dietary supplements. I deleted the app.
