First rule of smart TVs: if you really have to buy a smart TV, then never connect it to the internet!

I've read at some other post that some smart TVs won't work at all if you don't connect it to the internet.

Read with caution, I haven't verified this.

I've also heard people say that they'll automatically connect to any open wifi networks. People make up a lot of stuff. Just don't tell your display device how to send any 1s or 0s to any server outside your home, and you'll be fine

Imagine if they came with default ads prebundled in the firmware.

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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
