Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?

  • If you literally replaced the firmware, what else could possibly be phoning home?

  • I don't know how remotes work, physically, but they gotta send some sort of code to the TV. If your TV's OS can intercept that message it can choose its own response mapped to whatever you want to happen. Something akin to remapping keys in your keyboard.

    I would assume, anyway. I could be wrong.

  • That sounds, uh, fun.

  • I was thinking that if somebody knows how to do that, they probably also have an opinion on which brands of TV are better or worse for it.

    I don't own a TV right now but plan to in the future.

    • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

  • I like your reasoning. I'm a libertarian myself, so I get it.

    But I held my nose and voted Democrat the last two Presidential elections because I think Trump is a uniquely dangerous person. I hate the "this time is different" argument, but I actually think it applied this time.

  • Maybe people believe that it will save a starving child in the future. Like, some future where politicians finally listen to them?

  • Morality is not subjective. It is not (or at least should not) be based on emotions.

  • Of course. But one can hope for insight and help in answering it, no?

  • But, given that Trump will very likely be as bad or worse, why give him the chance? Just to be able to make the statement?

  • But considering the alternative to Harris, it doesn't seem as clear as day to me.
