Yes I agree it is great. I am using it on a Raspberry Pi 400 for pihole. It’s lean and conveniant.

Plays the flute on it too.

My wife goes to the toilet…MEOOOOOOOOW, my wife takes a shower, MEOOOOOOW, my wife has an office day…well fuck me.

I did not want to enable you, I only did some low effort searches.

Heh, I understand taking up a tinkering challange. Seems there are custom roms that you might be able to flash on a fire tv but there is a chance of bricking it. You need boot menu installed and root access very likely.

I would have immediatly returned it to the shop, also I wonder what brand. You are the product…certainly for 250 bucks for a 65 inch TV. They really should have given you 250 dollar + TV. Maybe a year of Netflix premium maximus 8K.

I never enable the smart part. You want the smart part on a TV you are going to enable telemetry even if hou declined privacy agreements. I don’t trust any TV manufacturer, for sure not LG.

I use a seperate setupbox (Shields) that I can control with a pihole. So all my other input sources like my gaming PC’s, or the ones I use for tax and insurance do not get monitored by content recognition from the tv or Google. My LG oled’s work fine without updates.

It will be easy to detect if a TV is trying to connect to an open network even if you disabled the networking part. Network sniffers… I would throw out that TV in a heartbeat. Mostly hardware that can’t connect to an ip start requesting connection at a frequent rate, like my Nanoleafs blocked by pihole. Very desperate….They are top of the blocked ip’s.

Snotty lovely snooty tooty

Heh, thank you kindly Jaybone, how a shitpost can trigger eh?

No, she was just into that esoteric spiritual I tjing and tarot bullshit, lateron Rudolf Steiner, homeopathic and faith healers shit. In the ‘70s this was a fad diet here in the Netherlands. She was very, very violent as well. I was pulled out of that when school began to notice the bruises, bad health and child protection services was notified. She didn’t have a good upbringing though, but I didn’t pass it onto my son. I don’t hate her but she is a total idiot.

We were underfed, anyhow macrobiotic diet is notorious for not getting the nutrients you need. We where skinny, yellow, itchy, hungry, getting too much salt and a diet without much variety. “Oh your behaviour is to much yang right now…I need to get you on salad for a couple of weeks till I get you balanced”.

I am still seeing a shrink for that shit…

Thanks for the wonderful anecdote! “Hey look Joe, kid & carrot again I told you about”.

I still like carrots now and then, mostly as an ingredient, and sometimes just raw.

My mom did a good job making everything taste disgusting, certainly pumpkin and Japanese seaweeds cooked in too much salt. I remember she promised us to make fries once. My sister and me very happy, couldn’t believe it as we where not allowed to eat nightshade plants…macrobiotic diet forbids, so that evening we had…pumpkin fries, we both crying. Disgustingly made btw and just some tamari and gomasio (more salt) for sauce.

We were into shoplifting not much later.

Holy shitposts.

In my childhood I had yellow skin (Carotenemia) from overdosing on carotene from my idiot mom’s woo diets. Macrobiotic diet with a shitload of pumpkin and carrots almost everyday. I won’t eat pumpkin even 45 years later.

I remember having to fiddle around with xinput and to me it wasn’t a good experience. Finally getting to play them…in my library for a decade.

That is a kinky Hamster.

Heheh, reminds me of Hatebeak.

Cat could be fronting a metal group.

Medieval Dynasty. Relaxing game that makes me forget time.

Now the OG One Piece tune plays in my head…nice.

Seems a good deal and certainly power efficient.

Before on a rPi 4…now in a VM on a refurb mini PC and changed memory to 32GB and 2 TB of storage. My PC might be twice as fast as the Beelink on paper but draws 10 x more power. I guess the config of the VM really matters most.
