  • Reply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn’t perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it’d have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don’t know why a “legit” TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.

    They probably meant “everything that they use it for”. Like, in my case everything on Linux works for me, but I don’t play multiplayer games or use Photoshop. I have a single old monitor that can’t do HDR. I don’t watch Netflix. To be fair and pedantic, not everything anyone could possibly ever want to do works on Windows 11, either.

    I love Linux, but I never expect it to be mainstream or even extremely accessible to typical users. In fact, if it made it to mainstream, it’d probably get ruined somehow by corporate interference, monetization, etc. How you may ask? Well, corporations have a lot of money and influence and I’m sure they could “find a way” if motivated to do so.










  • Any Android phones that are still decent? Somewhat repairable, sd card support, audio jack, and relatively easy to install a mature, non-Google firmware/os on, in the USA?

    Pixel doesn’t check those boxes. Fairphone does but who knows if they will commit to the US market… Also quite pricey.

    I have a Moto G Stylus 2022, which checks some boxes and is cheap, and has little bloat, but isn’t terribly repairable and cannot easily be fully degoogled, and doesn’t really have a good alternative OS.
