They just have that sticker for show. I doubt a single one of them ever read the constitution.

It's almost like they're liars or something.

How do I whitelist password logins? I only disabled password logins in SSHd and set it to only use a key.

I also like to disable root login by setting its default shell to nologin, that way, it's only accessible via sudo or doas. I think there's a better way of doing it, which is how Debian does it by default when not setting a root password, but I'm not sure how to configure that manually, or even what they do.

The Linux equivilent of this is atomic/immutable distros (SteamOS and Android being the most popular examples, but Fedora also has one that's fairly popular).

The new Indiana Jones game has the Nazis as the enemies as well

I always knew their brother had something to do with this ever since 2 minutes ago.

Still is if you're a Nazi

Spying on their citizens and bureaucracy?

I'm guessing you've never played the game, otherwise you wouldn't be saying that.

Shizuku would absolutely work. I can use adb either wirelessly or through a USB A to USB A cable with the 5 volt line cut (which is also how I interact witth fastboot). Activating developer settings is as simple as tapping build number 7 times, like on every Android device.

Rooting can help you replace built in apks. For example, there is a Magisk module that lets you replace the system's WebView with an alternative, like the one from GrapheneOS, for instance. App signing is the problem here, so that's what that specific module helps bypass.

Modules work on top of an OverlayFS, which essentially lets you write to /system without actually writing to /system, similar to rwfus on the Steam Deck.

Also your current TV app is one made by TCL and not a stock Android app. I wonder if it can be substituted with a different one from a different vendor, or maybe an older version of the TCL app. The only issue I forsee is if the app attempts to communicate with hardware in a non-standard way. Alternatively, I wonder if you block internet to the TV app using a firewall if the TV functionality would still work without showing ads. There is AFWall+ if you're rooted and DNS/Android VPN based firewalls if not. There is also DNSNet, which is a DNS based ad blocker that uses Android's DNS service.

Mine doesn't have a custom ROM either because Hisense refuses to release the kernel source for my device. Didn't stop me from rooting anyway. Magisk/KernelSU modules can also do a lot of heavy lifting for replacing things.

I was able to unlock the bootloader and root my Hisense Android TV just fine. I think you can also root TCLs, but I'd check xda first.

I didn't even need to enable OEM unlocking first to unlock the bootloader. Dumping the boot.img was a different story. Someone did it for me for my model, since my model's UBoot firmware is missing a lot of functionality. You may have better luck dumping through UBoot using the UART interface, or maybe there's an alternative. If your TV is a GKI device and you can boot a generic kernel, yhen you can use KernelSU without needing to first dump the stock boot.img (or init_boot.img), then you might be able to upgrade and dump the stock one from the other partition before rebooting

I couldn't figure out how to get into BROM mode on my TV.

Make sure there is a reliable way to reflash the firmware in case of a brick. Hisense provides firmware packages that can be flashed from the bootloader without needing to boot an OS.

Well it was his turn, so...

What a banger

I've been using Tuta for damn near a decade, and it's been great for me.
