For goodness sake, please don't do this! Our only point of control in this matter is at the cash register, and every time you validate their consumer-unfriendly choices, we lose.
Here's how it's already playing out:
- The dumb TVs start to disappear or become very expensive.
- The smart TV manufacturers identify those who get around their tracking and advertising as "cheaters", and work to plug up those holes.
Soon enough you really won't have any option. You don't think they won't start making all the monitors, all commercial displays, every available screen mesh-connected advertising stations once they've proven that you'll lie down and accept it?
Cmon, hacker newserites - you're supposedly all champions of the free and unregulated market. Buy a dumb TV while you can. Let them know there's still a market. If you're reading this site there's a good chance you can afford it.
