A software switch is not a switch. I heard fairphones have a removable battery. Android is garbage. If it is not making me $$$ then it ain't making sense. Why do I need to make myself available to the nazi dragnet? Fuck the gipity. Fuck the nonsense. Always forever amen. Turd will be turd... but you can be a turd over there. FAFO

Removing the microphone from a smart TV remote does little to prevent corporations from tracking everything else you do. Why not just get rid of the smart TV?

All the tracking and analytics are what enable them to sell TVs for lower prices. If you want a commercial display you can buy one, but it will cost a lot more than a regular smart TV with the same display. I vote for buying the cheap TV and gutting the tracking features to screw over the corpos who are getting their profit from invading peoples' privacy.

Been exploring outdoor digital signage screens for my next tv. Looks like a viable option but a bit of a markup over consumer models.
