I changed the WiFi password as never told my Samsung the new one. I expect this will work for a year or two until they figure out how to force their way onto the network.

Amazon sidewalk and related technologies will likely allow devices to bypass needing your network at all in the future. The last TV that doesnt support these features will probably be my last.

They will probably eventually upload stuff through people walking by with Samsung phones or smart tags.

Do you just use a Roku to watch stuff or what?

What is of value to watch on any of the streaming platforms?

Netflix content is atrophying. Disney Plus is dying. To say nothing of Hulu or others.

I watch youtube. The content is way more varied and interesting and less sanitized.

Apple is producing multiple series that each could be in contention for a top spot on best sci Fi TV shows of all time.

therobots927 4 days ago | parent [-]

Which ones?

Larrikin 4 days ago | parent | next [-]

Foundation, For All Mankind, Silo, Pluribus, Monarch. See was pretty good but is over

Invasion isn't as good as the above but still better than a lot of shows before it.

Severance second season made me question the show's quality sadly

Dunno what gp likes, but IMO Foundation is incredible.

There's a wonderful thing that we used to have and still do have, but might be going away soon. It's called "terrestrial television". For decades people streamed programming over the airwaves, straight off the antenna! For free! Ad-supported of course, but... no tracking! (Actually opt-in tracking with a Nielsen People Meter.)

You can also use a DVR to record terrestrial broadcast TV, and there's even tools to automatically skip ads: https://github.com/Protektor-Desura/jellyfin-dvr-comskip
