minus-squareZozano@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoWho says I let Amazon/Google/Roku/whoeverTfElse collect my data? I have my TV isolated to its own network and allow inputs from LAN, so i can use Steam Link and Jellyfin just fine.
minus-squarenile_istic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoCool. Who owns the OS on the TV or the app store where you downloaded JF and SL?
minus-squareZozano@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoI didnt download Jellyfin or steamlink through an app store. I loaded the .apk onto a USB, plugged it in, and sideloaded it lol. Any other 'gotcha’s?
minus-squarenile_istic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoSounds like an unnecessary amount of extra work to avoid being spied on by the spyware TV that you bought. You do you, though bud.
minus-squareZozano@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months ago an unnecessary amount of extra work As opposed to buying, flashing, then installing a raspberry pi? Lol
minus-squarenile_istic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoHonestly? It’s not that far off, with a much better pay off. But like I said, you do you. You wanna die on the smartTV hill for whatever reason, go for it lmao
minus-squareZozano@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months ago a much better pay off Uh huh, how much does a raspberry pi cost again? die on the smartTV for whatever reason I gave you a reason, but you don’t seem to consider it valid. Stop being a cunt.
minus-squareRooster326@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoSo get a device that can do that. You didn’t need a piece of software that will never see an update to do this.
minus-squareatrielienz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoIt’s funny that you think smart TVs don’t receive updates. It’s got a wifi chip for a reason.
