They don’t have boats and really don’t care for going to the beach.
If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.

Step 1. Don’t.
Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.
Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text… you get the path to the file as text.
I see one sponsor link, no other ads.

I’m honestly surprised that the US cares about it… There’s near zero economic or strategic concerns left in that region for the US.
And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?
It’s hard to feel sympathy for people giving money to companies like Ubisoft, Epic and EA. It’s not like them being assholes that constantly screw over their customers is a new thing.
The charged particles that affect our electrical and electronic systems have mass and therefore cannot travel at the speed of light… We can see the visible light effects of a flare and know that the slower-moving particles that will cause actual damage are on the way.
Brave essentially has done this all along.
I am Spez’s raging bile duct.
I do exactly this with a SteamDeck and USB-C docking station… with the added bonus that I can pull it out of the dock and take it with me to use as a hand-held when I travel.
New computers are the ones more likely to fail.
You are unlikely to find a new non-smart TV… the TV manufacturers get kickbacks from the streaming services for bundling their apps.
If you did find one, it would be more expensive than the dumb TV because you don’t have a bunch of streaming services subsidizing the price of the TV for you.
A computer monitor may work for you, or just buy a smart TV and never connect it to a network. You should be able to set it to automatically start up on the last-used input so you never see the built-in UI.
I use traditional packages and Flatpaks… with “user apps” being preferred as Flatpak. This is potentially safer as the OS itself can’t be affected by installing or removing these applications, and also can mitigate dependency hell as apps that require different versions of the same dependency can coexist peacefully, with each one using its own bundled version of that dependency.
I also have a couple of appimages that aren’t available as a Flatpack, and I’ll simply find an alternative to anything that is only distributed as a Snap due to the performance issues, mount clutter, and proprietary nature of the Snap distribution back-end.
Here’s an idea… stop giving your money to companies that don’t want you as a customer.
When I set mine to Mute, Netflix still kept launching. So I set it to Show Recent Apps and long-press to Mute. That solved it.
After four years with no new versions, there probably won’t ever be one.
Even the original 2015 Shield is still one of the top 5 Android TV devices ever made, with the 2017 and 2019 models also taking spots.
I did add the newer remote to my 2015 model as that’s a big improvement (other than the annoyingly easy to accidentally press Netflix button, but I remapped that to Show Recent Apps instead).
X1 for ultra portability.
Otherwise, T14 or T15.
