Ethernet cable for the win!
You can never convince me that wireless is better than a hardwired connection.
One of most ridiculous wireless things I’ve encounted was Logitecs Trackball. Like, it’s a stationery mouse, specifically designed not need to be moved around.
And they don’t make wired variants at all anymore.
I think it’s a design decision. Some high-level designer probably decided on cutting all the wires, so here we are. Shame they didn’t hear about markrt research or customer surveys.
I mean yeah because its objectively worse if you just care about performance and reliability.
Better for mobile applications, which I realize TVs are typically not but sometimes they can be mounted onto a cart or something.
this is fck’d
On chromecast?
Bad choice in product i guess…
And it only works with stock android and chrome browser. I hate it so much. Why didn’t I buy a miracast dongle?
I have no experience with it, but this might work
Wow, thanks. The only thing left is MicroG android and I will have a slightly less paintful experience.
I just want a dumb TV that I can connect my Linux box to
Buy commercial signage displays they are nice tvs without all the smart garbage
Looked into this recently, where do I get commercial signage that isn’t 6x the price for the same size screen?
Used or refurbished ones tend to be closer in price and I’ve seen some on Amazon and the like for a couple hundred
I’ll keep an eye out on Craigslist and ask some of my small business contacts where they got their.
All TVs sold at Costco are required be fully functioning without being connected to Wi-Fi.
That’s a very interesting tidbit. Good to know, thanks for sharing!
I feel like I’m the one guy in my friend-sphere that hasn’t got a Smart-TV and such, at this point.
I have little use for anything particularly “smart” when it comes to tv’s. Also my paranoia doesn’t allow for anymore potential spyware ridden electronics in my home. So I’m pretty happy about that…
I just bought a Sony BRAVIA 8 and it’s close to this. Never connected to WiFi. It goes directly to my HTPC input and I never see the home screen unless I want to.
TV software is fucking abysmal. Its laggy, full of bloat and as you point out, their wifi capabilities are shit. I even have the connection/speed issue right now with one of my older TVs.
'fucking shit router
🤔
Grammar & punctuation fascist I see
I mean, yes, but I was rather wondering, if that extra space was maybe why it couldn’t find it. Maybe you had to manually enter the SSID and accidentally put in that extra space? Then again, I don’t even know, if you took that photo…
I had a IoT device “lightbulb” that would trim any spaces left after the passkey, problem being I intentionally had a blank space at the end of my passkey. Took a while to realize till I counted the little stars hiding the recorded passkey.
Nothing grinds my gears like password interfaces that modify the password. If empty spaces at the beginning/end are an issue, tell the user. Show a note, or at worst a modal. But don’t modify it.
No something I randomly saw on the internet
Somebody had a bad day.
