I actually use my samsung smartv for netflix, so I put it on a subnet with a firewall that blocks anything not-netflix.

HELP, where can I find a dumb TV.
Replying to @internetofshit
uh duh, if you don't want your behavioral data secretly collected and sold, you should have just inconvenienced yourself

Really? What TVs are those? Not everyone has a good wi-fi signal near their TV. My parents' house certainly doesn't.

And don't forget the bees. Watch what hashtags you use. I saw that documentary on @blackmirror ..

We need to pressurise TV makers to give us back our basic TVs, just refuse to buy the smart ones
Replying to @internetofshit
Don't buy any random computer that someone else controls, just because it is inside a TV. But you knew that.
Replying to @internetofshit
I plugged one into a switch with nothing else on it once, was enough to make it shut up.
Replying to @internetofshit
could you give it a wifi that has no connection?
Replying to @internetofshit
Is WLAN sufficient? Maybe you have an old WLAN router and can set it up with no Internet access... 😊
