What's the one in the bottom left?
I have adblocked yt and pirated yt music on my phone, but those 1 minute ads between 1:50 songs on my tv are getting to me...bad.
I'm damn near ready to yeet the tv off the balcony.
- I just use my tv as a big monitor, no way i would ever give my tv internet access
  
  Strong agree. I would pay more for a non-smart tv. They're probably all smart these days, aren't they? Ugh.
  
  Thankfully it is easy to not connect them. The newest TV I bought I connected it once via Ethernet during setup to get the latest software, then unplugged it. Has been working fine for a year with no issue.
  
  I don't care, really. I'm going to just use the inputs on the TV with whatever peripheral I plug into it anyway.
  If it has to be updated to be used in the first place then I'll update it, disconnect it from the internet, block it at the router level and then use it as a monitor, which it is.
  We shouldn't have to do this, but, the world sucks, so... shrug
- Pretty sure it's a chevron from stargate?
  
  Two figures on either side, praying beside a pyramid with the sun directly above it.
- A Yeet Cannon is a fine solution to any TV. Personally I recommend a 12ga slug or buckshot for any and all TVs. There is nothing worth the effort to watch and even less worth paying for.
  Books, books are where it's at these days. What is old has become new again!
  
  We're not allowed any firearms here, i could maybe 3d print one lol.
  I like a book every so often, but they don't play music all that well unfortunately.
- Invideous. A Software that provides an alternative YouTube look/frontend. There are also people who host invideous instances as publicaly accessible websites. Sadly all the public instances have been blocked by youtube for about a month now. I hope there will be a fix soon.
