This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I just bought this dumb tv. Couldn't be happier.

It's not a good tv, but it's the biggest one I could fit on my desk and it has absolutely no "smart" features.
Just don’t connect smart TVs to the internet. That’s all you have to (not) do
My TCL TV flashes a little ring light constantly if it doesn't have an internet connection. The best part is the LED is part of the IR receiver, so if you cover it up your remote stops working. I've dimmed it as much as possible through the hidden service menus, but the option to remove it was apparently removed in a firmware update at some point.
Open it up and replace it with a resistor, can't blink if it doesn't exist.
