Unsmart a smart TV
(lemmy.sdf.org)
How standardized a lcd panels? Could I replace the controller in a smart TV with one of these HDMI to LCD controllers?
Maybe you'd disable it on the settings, but it remains enabled anyways. Then it would detect an open wifi and connect autimatically.
Or maybe the software that comes with it is buggy as hell your HDMI framerate and resolution became affected.
A wifi antenna should be easy to find.
If you cut it, could it lead to an error, or just weaken the signal?
If you wrap the TV in tinfoil, it'll be a faraday cage and block all WiFi
I just keep my TV embedded in a block of lead.

Just watching TV is lost technology.
But then even Superman can't watch ads on it!
I mean I wouldn't, but it's an idea!
Seriously considering decorating my next apartment like this. CNC engraved thin sheets of stainless steel, with a ground wire plugged in somewhere. Possibly the plumbing.
Ok, well personally, I've never seen an open network near my house, so if I cared that much, it would work for mine.
You really shouldn't run an open wifi at your home. Or do you carry your TV to Starbuck's or something?
Do you live in a farm your whole life or something?
Just in a country where open wifi without landing pages don't exist. Apologies, didn't think about actual open, public wifi.
Most people are more aware of these things nowadays, so you may not see it as much...
