professional antagonist and part time narcissist.
All opinions are of my own. I'm your fav cdmaposter and imsmoder.
ex GSM engineer. Feds were after me
@supersat But yeah so apparently cdma totally can use sim cards they're just optional and I think csim straight up wasn't popular until like LTE and then it was popular because you already had a uicc so might as well load an application onto their for cdma customers
@where_shrikes@elitedesks Unironically make for banger digital signage since you have adb. If dumb TVs aren't available and I *have* to pick a smart TV then
1. I'm taking my gun out and shooting myself as Terry Davis would
2. If I fail then it's probably android TV I'm going with
This is why I just use 32in computer monitor and good colors with a sound bar instead. The OS is simpler, picture quality better, latency lower, audio better, and it doesn't *fucking fed me*
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.
@where_shrikes@elitedesks It was pretty simple I just opened android studio, forked some flutter based launcher and added in a custom wallpaper and used adb install and disabled the default launcher
@i2cjak I say this mainly as someone who has been all around the middle east, the indian subcontinent and south east asia btw I'm not just assuming things. This is my lived experience
@i2cjak (post is obvious irony but I do feel that anti racism is generally a privileged west-ism and most of the global south has no real concept of "racism is bad" unless it's well, their own race)
@rmcentush Depending on what size you need, you might just want a computer monitor (32in)
But for above sizes, yeah something like this would be nice. Space is lacking except projectors which are still sane dumb outputs
