If you auto update your tv, you most likely are SOL for jailbreaking a smart tv. I have tried two different TVs from LG and Samsung ending in the device being bricked. This is slowly becoming a pet project that I am realizing I am way out of my depth with.

If you can replace the mainboard and just use the panel, that would be awesome.

It would be a gold mine for them. People always forget the optional agreements and don't want to find where to turn off the faucet of personal data or even know what that means.

I have brought this up while installing TVs for my job and I either get a "wtf, help me fix" or [blank stare] "why should I care?" reactions. Mostly the latter and they are all over the age of 60.

Does that actually do anything or is it planned obsolescence? I was under the impression turning off your engine and restarting at a stop wears the starter and it not worth the gas savings. Dealer service centers must be making bank if true.

Nearly all tvs are smart tvs that make money with showing ads and selling data. Any loss on the hardware is made up on selling customer data and ad space. The tvs would be amazing if they didn't come with smart features.

Tbh that doesn't sound that old, just growing up poor or in a rural area.

The game Backyard Baseball is probably the closest I have ever got to playing that field. Living near cornfields spoiled me with opportunities to send a ball to space.

Those bricks are a message, we need to use those bricks. Forward them to you local oligarch or congressperson. Build something out of it or else we just have a bunch of bricks weighing us down.
