The younger version of yourself displayed by the mirror is kissing the older version of yourself in front of the mirror, so I suppose you’re both correct. Unless you’re a photon.

No it’s the faucet across from the toilet he has to flush ten, sometimes fifteen times, which is also where he got this idea.

Probably the best idea I guess as long as you can set the TV up without Internet.

I’m pretty happy with Chromecast currently for its simplicity. I meant to try and replace the TV firmware so it’s more or less a dumb TV that just displays its inputs without having ads and other gimmicks.

The TV I currently have is Android OS but the built in Chromecast is noticeably lower quality. Not sure if it’s an older version or what.

Regardless, IMO the displays themselves outlast their software support, and I prefer to just plug in whatever the latest device.

I’ll also mention Android OS on my TV takes a full minute to “boot” and that itself makes me want to yeet it out the window.

My TV is probably going to kick the bucket in a year or two at most. Filtering “non smart TVs” on a site like BestBuy shows only commercial display options at this point.

Are there any well maintained projects out there that are able to replace the firmware on newer smart TVs to get rid of these features? I really just want a dumb display with an input for a Chromecast with CEC support (or similar device if Google decides to enshittify that platform with screensaver ads too).

This is giving me 1998 MS Publisher vibes and I’m here for it.
