"Smart" TVs

Why would you buy your family member a 'smart TV' in the current year? He's also a software developer for pete's sake. He should've known better.

At first I thought someone actually had their shit scanned and the pic would be the result.

But you're linking to an article about ransomware which is not related to botnet functionality.

Most people only know what corporations tell them to.

The botnet OS allows infiltration.

>>58288208
the "botnet" did not install the ransomware
a stupid person did

any platform on any device allows you to install any shit you want in them, so according to you any OS ever is a botnet.

Yeah but having Android on a TV is a problem in the first place.

>>58288331
ok

FTFY

Well I wouldn't say *that*, but yes, I don't own a TV. I don't have a use for one.

>>58287843
So what fucking TV to buy then? Every decent TV nowadays has some kind of poorly working "Smart" TV tacked on.
Just use a HTPC.

>>58288402
this, there is no reason to use a TV in the current year. TV and the content on it is a dying medium

>>58288475
You just don't. If they don't want to make a reasonable TV, don't buy it. If you're too infatuated with content to stop yourself from buying one, then you have an addiction that needs to be addressed.

>>58287843
Why not just re-flash it?

Are you retarded or something?

>>58288475
Do not connect it to Internet.

It's probably a locked down device. The owner figured out how to "factory reset" it.

>>58287843 B-but i want to run Plex and Miracast on my tv without any external memeboxes.

>how can we justify the same price for a telly as 10 years ago now that the technology has dropped in price?
>we'll call them 'Smart TVs', the goyim will love it
>ah yes, very impressive

>>58287843
lmao I sell TV's for a living and didn't even know this was possible :^)

Don't look at CP in your TV and the FBI won't get your ass OP.
