Trying to watch the game and do i really want to stare at this BS?
No google. I don’t want your data mining creep. But of course you’re going to make it difficult to remove your intrusion without breaking. I know it’s bad just by the fact that i am unable to remove the message. And there is a timer for how long you long press as proof that i know what i am doing when i decide to sell my soul.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this trash without actually trashing my tv?
Samsung TVs run Tizen which is their own OS, rather than a skinned Android TV. It’s pretty minimal so you need some other box or stick if you want a good watching experience, but it doesn’t do anything hostile as long as you turn the tracking bs off at setup, and there are no ads in the UI (at least on the 2019 model my parents have).
There’s no truly open source TV OS though :( I miss Firefox OS
Tizen has privacy issues and suggests content on its home screen.
I have my S90D Wi-Fi turned off. Suggested content is still there from when it was previously on the network. Also certain features require an Internet connection, but I don’t miss those features with my Apple TV.
Oh I didn’t know. Assumed it’s just the same shit like their phones and tablets. Crap on top of other crap. But it’s still Samsung and I don’t trust them either 🥴
