If you get bursts of rage don't ever buy a fire TV because you'll put your foot through it. This is why you should read product reviews before buying landfill junk. I asked chatgpt why they were shit and it gave me a bunch of things other people complained about and they're all true.

SAAR LOOK AT THE AD MENU SAAR, we don't have a usecase for navigating the menu smoothly

works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>press right, to navigate the app menu
>no response
>2 seconds later it zooms over the app bar twice, as if i pressed the button 20 times
>get in a streaming app
>it just turns the TV off after an arbitrary amount of time
>some days the app tracks your episode progress with white bars, sometimes it doesn't
>now the TV's audio bitrate is like 1k, it sounds like they recorded audio in a tin can

I got my Fire TV 55" a few years ago for 200 €. It is full of ads by default. Disgusting. Last year there were an exploit that allowed you to gain system user rights and permanent change the launcher.

So don't hook it up to the internet and wait for the next exploit. I am perfectly happy with it for the money I paid.

Get a fast streaming box and hook it up to HDMI. You don't have to use the internal system.

>So don't hook it up to the internet and wait for the next exploit.
why dont you just open your router settings and blacklist amazon servers on the device? then it cant pull ads or phone home
what the fuck do you need an exploit for

In America TV watches you.

>>108815211
To change out their shit launcher.
>>
>>108815042
That's the case with most TVs. Firmware updates usually don't benefit users. They only prevent exploits which, in turn, takes control away from you.
>>
>>108814572
Just buy it and connect it to a shield or appletv. There's no reason to deal with native TV OSs. They're all trash.
>>
>>108814572
>I asked chatgpt
Stopped reading there.

>>108815864
Also with the small TV devices as Fire TV sticks they just get slower with patches. So it is also good to stop updating once the next HW revision is out.

posted this in another thread but what do you guys think of roku projectors? I had a friend bring one over and it worked well and want to get one for movies. Is this the go to "affordable" one to get or should I get something else?

I learned my mistake with the kindle
never buy amazon crap
>>
>>108815864
my tv is still bitching about no internet access reee kek
>>
Linus on wan show was shocked his video on that dumb TV got 2 million views

He didn't seem to get that people would really like to know if a dumb TV was worth buying people do not want this ad ridden smart tv shitware.
>>
>>108817358
I have read some of the smart TVs can just made to dump TVs by selecting bardic mode at setup. Or just don't connect them to the network.
>>
>>108814572
I bought a 65" one last year.
Installed Stremio+Torrentio
Installed Smart Tube
Turned off updates

Get everything you ever want, for free and ad free
>>
>>108818262
>Stremio
Buy an ad.

>install our streaming app
No. Listen, if there's anything a fire TV doesn't need, it's another fucking streaming source to navigate through.

>Torrentio
Just install a browsing app to stream your torrents without downloading torrents bro

>smart tube
Nice spyware, bro.
>>
>>108816418
Actually I typed it in to google search bar but chatgpt replied with all the answers. Whatever, kid.

>>108814572
my "smart" Panasonic Plasma is so old that all shitapps wont run anymore, making it dumb now

Plasma chads just CANNOT STOP winning

Ok Roger

>>108817323
If you also want a screen for gaming, projectors usually suck because they cant maintain high frame rates well
>>
>>108814572
Chink TV with Amazon firestick is a much better alternative
>>
get hisense or tcl and never connect it to the internet, they're both spyware but the UI isn't slow as fuck like a firetv
>>
>>108821525
Or just chink TVs with russian debloat scripts
>>
>>108814572
The only thing that sucks about these is the loud as fuck movie previews that play when you turn it on. The only other ads I see are just a banner in the main menu.
But then I just scroll to my IPTV app and watch unlmited high quality kinos for free with no ads, through a seamless UI that girls think looks cool. No virginal home servers or HDMI cables for me, thanks
