   @adiz @gsuberland
   I have a Samsung "smart" TV, but I've never agreed to the terms of service and I can't use the "smart" part of it, meaning I can't install apps — it's built-in DLNA client works just fine and allows me playing movies directly from my seedbox, I can also play media off external drives, it works as Bluetooth and Miracast sinks, picture in picture kinda works too — no ads involved.
   Well, I can't watch YouTube directly from the TV — but I seldomly do that anyway and if I want to, I can use a laptop that is plugged into it anyway.
   Capitalism works just fine :cirno_shrug:

     just checked a major review site and not a single smart TV was released in the past two years without integrated ads that you can't opt out from or disable. that's depressing.
