I have a TCL and it works just fine without internet.
Honestly, if I bought a TV, brought it home and it refused to function without internet I’d march that thing right back to the store for a refund.

I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a “Smart” TV to the internet. Leave it as a “dumb” TV.
Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its “smart” features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.
To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.
Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma’s a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

Skullvalanche@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some of the best purchases of your life?English5·2 年前- A good ergonomic office chair.
- A sit/stand desk.
- Heavy duty wire shelves from Costco.
And because I drink coffee and I’m a total klutz…
- Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
- a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.
yay! 🫶

Skullvalanche@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some of the best purchases of your life?English5·2 年前Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans… never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

- AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.

- PiHole network-wide adblocker
- I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents’ network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
- RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.

Yes, it’s fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the “security theater” of it all, but man… being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.

Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.
That includes many apps that most people don’t think of as “browsers”.
Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.
