If LG ever removes or restricts Developer Mode, I am selling my TV the same day.

new locked down spyware TVs are so cheap, who would want to buy and move -your- locked down spyware TV?

Jailbroken LG TVs are the panacea of locked down spyware TVs.

Although like OP, if I ever lose the ability to run root, then that's the day I look for a new TV (lord have mercy).

I don’t think I will ever again connect a tv to the internet

I wonder how long it will be until TVs have some sort of cellular modem built in. Maybe some form of LPWAN - your TV may not be connected to the internet, but odds are there's one in range that is.

Damn... The faraday cage around my TV will worsen the picture quality.

I was playing around with LG TV homebrew a while back. Still have the same TV, and in the age of AI, I'm considering putting a coding agent to work on a dump of the filesystem to see what it'd take to run stock Linux on it.

There's an active Discord server (I know, I know...) for LG's jailbreak community and there are some incredibly talented folk on there who know the ins and outs of webOS to a crazy level. I'd recommend checking it out if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Not sure if you can post the full link but what's the /invitecode for the server? I'd actually be interested in joining since I've been interested in this
