A Google TV stick.or box will have maximum wife approval factor if you also install Netflix, Prime etc on it, install a custom launcher, and set the TV to auto start to HDMI.

They’re using AI models to find vulnerabilities. I assume the fixes are human written.

GrapheneOS is using AI models to find vulnerabilities before others do. The Bitcoin Red Team did the same and found an absolute ton.

I hate the AI bubble, but they’re forced to use AI to defend against AIm

You can do that with SmartTube on an Android box.

You should make sure the ACR and voice control features are disabled.

She can still use it if you tell her to disable the Wi-Fi then plug in a laptop.

A modern TV will be fine if you get one that allows set up without Wi-Fi then disable the eco mode and motion smoothing.

You can even plug in a GrapheneOS phone with a USB-C to HDMI cable.

The CIA didn’t work with Samsung; they found a vulnerability in Samsung TVs then didn’t tell anyone about it.

However their budget models (under $400) are very uncompetitive.

They could use a WAF to block AI scrapers, and both Cap and Shieldstral together to block most AI posters but they won’t bother.

I think apps will still be developed however they will reach only the custom ROM audience which I expect will grow massively.

The 2027 models will likely be flagship only however Graphene has tweeted that they plan to support cheaper Motorola phones in the future.

There is a setting in the update manager which deletes the kernels for you. Regular Mint is also the better option because of the Ubuntu base.

Games should work in Steam with “Steam Play for all titles” enabled. What are the apps?

And Sony “solved” the issue by requiring you to use software called Sonicstage to transfer music, and that software re encoded everything as ATRAC with OpenMG DRM.

It’s not just ipad kids. Those who just want to work and not mess with the system are better off with Mint or Zorin. If you have to google how to install VLC then an OS has already lost for productivity.

They want your ID because they’re legally forced to. A VPN will fix it.

Look at MVNOs. They use the big three networks (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) but are much cheaper because you are not paying the uninformed tax.
