Is this a good advice from Jared Newman?

How about manufacturers don't make the TVs bloated in the first place?
>>110177518How about you stop being antisemitic
>>110177518He says that you can just use a legit launcher from google play, but how does that help? It might look more minimalistic but bloat will still run in background.
>>110177502Not every problem needs AI as the solution. The steps above will get you most of the way toward what the AI bros are doing, but with far less effort, expense, and risk.
>>110177533Most people just want a better launcher, and Projetivity etc already exist. The real gain is from killing all of these processes that slow down the operation of the TV. Manufacturers deserve this for not prioritizing user experience. You can get away with all kinds of spying and telemetry and no one will care IF YOU MAKE THE PRODUCT RUN WELL. It doesn't, so people look for solutions and in the process fuck up your business model.
>>110177518Okay I hope you like paying $5000 for a 720p 30hz piece of shit.You have no idea how heavily your lifestyle is subsidized by big data.
>>110177568It's a few hundred dollars per unit, not $5k.
>>110177578No, that's the price you pay when they're sold at a massive loss because the lifetime of data the manufacturer collects and sells will make up for the loss and then some. You will not own a TV for less than $2500 without the sticker price being subsidized by privacy invasion. You have no idea how poor and pathetic you are in 2026. They do a very good job at hiding it from you.
>>110177595You are simply incorrect. Possibly the highest-end, new R&D tv's meet that criteria but the average vizio 54" that an amerilard is buying for $350 doesn't cost $2k to manufacture, distribute, or package.
>>110177502>In the case of cleanyourtv and tv-detox, both expect you to set up an AI coding agent such as Claude Code or ChatGPT’s Codex to help execute the scripts. Those agents typically require a paid plan of some kind, so you’ll be incurring a cost to run these tools. (ChatGPT’s Codex offers a free tier, but you may run into usage limits that hinder your progress.)I did not believe it so I went to check their website. Slopniggers are retarded.
>>110177731normies thinking they leetcodemonkeys with AI are going to poison water with that agentic shitjust fucking outbound firewall your router niggers
>>110177731The AI is given a prompt telling it where to look in GoogleTV/etc for the corporate spyware and is able to ferret it out, often even rooting the device. Because it has adb and a supercomputer behind it they can do things that make the device work better. The new custom launchers are not the real product here.
>>110177762>just fucking outbound firewall your router niggersI know a bored marketingjew we might just make iToddler friendly hardware firewalls for 95 bucks a pop and subsidize it with Kickstarter.
>>110177501Why are goyim still buying these? So pathetic
>>110177501>don't use bloat to attempt to remove bloatDuh?
>>110177518TVs are subsidized by selling your info. Debloating tvs would double their price. You don't need to debloat a TV, if you want a dumb TV just don't connect it to the internet and use an android box for your apps, those are much easier to debloat.
>>110177501when i worked at a hotel and installed a pop up blocker the owners son a kid asked me is that illegal? and i thought "not yet"
>>110177599>cost $2k to manufacture, distribute, or package.You're right. It's $750 for all of that, and $1250 of labor costs.>Possibly the highest-end, new R&D tv's meet that criteriaNo, those are more like $50k+
>>110177595Bullshit as near identical models can be sold at similar prices in areas where such practices as in USA are against the law and random chinesium TV's with no functional ACR are sold for even less.
>>110177501Thanks for reminding me.
>>110177854That's trivial to just do yourself though honestly, it's nice the AI speeds up the process but it's just removing apps over ADB
>>110177595lmaothey charge you as much as they can for the TV AND sell your data
LG and Samsung needs to die.I want to get a TV from them that uses the TVs built in spy functions, connecting to random wiki etc,, all it uploads is "FUCK YOU GOOK" and random scrambled data 24/7.
>>110177922Too cheap for normiesCall it iTard and price it at $399its gonna be fire
>>110177961I'd pay extra for a TV that respects my privacy desu.
>>110177985>labor costsnigger what year do you think it is. most of these flat screens are being stamped out in a robot factory that doesn't even have lights installed on the ceiling.different tv panels have different manufacturing processes and older LCD/LED type panels are mastered years ago. New tech, your mini-leds and all that other cutting edge stuff, still requires attention and supervision because of how tricky it is.My estimate is that a Vizio midsized tv that goes for about $400 retail new would sell for $600 without any of the telemetry.
>>110178153>wiki*wifi
>>110178110> it's just removing apps over ADBthe telemetry and such are trickier than that, because they are not installed like regular tv apps are. Take a look at the .md file used by cleanyourtv or whatever and you'll see that it's giving useful directions. This varies by model - mine for example can't do much to improve it although it also didn't have any extras installed other than what GoogleTV does natively. I've manually 'hacked' my smart tv a few years ago and am pretty familiar with what is going on here. Ultimately the solution is for smart tv manufacturers to release devices whose interface is FAST. It really is that simple. The average user dgaf about or understand the data mining they just want their tv to not be slow as hell. It's amazing how stupid the industry has been about this.
>>110178182>Ultimately the solution is for smart tv manufacturers to release devices whose interface is FAST.It's kinda hard with the bottom of the bin Mediatek chips with Cortex A55's and 1.5GB of RAM and bare minimum of storage. Even if the launcher and base UI are optimized to the max to accommodate that, 3rd party apps will stay bloated as hell.
>>110177731wait a second, so they basically replaced a shell script with an ai slop prompt you need paid plan to execute? jesus.
>>110178224HOLY SHIT WHAT IF THEY USED OTHER CHIPS OR MADE NEW ONES OR TOLD MEDIATEK I WILL BUY 1 MILLION OF YOUR UPGRADED CHIP.This is an eminently solvable problem. What really happened is the marketing department filled up all unused compute on the tv's with no regard for the user experience because no one had a spreadsheet to account for that.
>>110178182>Ultimately the solution is for smart tv manufacturers to release devices whose interface is FAST.then they'd have to improve the TV hardware, oy vey
>>110178284They don't. As people using this shit all week have shown the current hardwire driving it is entirely sufficient if you dump the unnecessary cpu/ram-hog telemetry spyware.
>>110178279Easier said than done when RAM prices are already ridiculous and every fab is overbooked for the next 10 years or so.
>>110177731Funny thing about all those AGENT.md repos, just reading them gives you better, easier to follow, and more retard-proof instructions than those youtube faggots could ever hope to provide. Seriously, you do not need claude code, you can just meat proxy it all step by step instead.>>110178251>you need paid plan to executelocal models can do that too
>>110178251People who can decipher the arcane runes of a graphing calculator will be bonafide wizards in the near future
>>110178309The needs are low. TV's with 4gb of old ram would run amazingly. You can buy that off the scrap pile.And this problem is years old they should have done this five years ago when there was really no excuse to underpower the system hardware.
>>110178437bash can do that too after you think for a while, and you don't have to use 32 GB of VRAM for it, llmigga.
>>110177501>don't fight back please just lie down and take it
>use AII am not Indian.
>>110177561This anon has the right idea. Most normies are fine with telemetry, as long as the product is snappy and easy to use. Companies have forgotten how to make a good software to hide their spyware shit, and even normies are noticing.
>>110177518They do exist, though you are made to jump through hoops for them, even to the point of proving that you are a business.
>>110177501plz don't destroy our surveillance model and advertising profits :( plz sir I won't be able to afford a fourth home. the government needs to know you're exact location every millisecond of the day you have to do what we tell you
I'm using ProjectIVY, it's not AI, is there another launcher that doesn't use AI that's better?
>>110177501I'd like to make it illegal to put adverts in paid products, and illegal to charge people to "buy" a movie and it's technically rented, and also heavily illegal to split a series across numerous streaming platforms (Amazon Prime has season 1, HBO has 2 and 3, Peacock has 4). I want these people to suffer.
>>110177533Remember that Adam guy who started Gizmodo? And also John Dvorak? These are guys who wouldn't suck corp cock.
