A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote.
He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back.
He went to Best Buy to get a replacement.
The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something."
He grabbed a remote and shook his head.
"There are 8 hidden tracking settings throttling your TV's processor right now. Manufacturers turn them all on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix this."
Here's what he showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵
@CraveCanada you people should be put in jail for pushing ads and then having a “connection error” for the actual content, there clearly wasn’t a connection error for the ads. Glad you assholes got paid
@LEGO_Group hi there! Almost finished my Mario kart build and I think I’m missing a piece. My kids said it was missing and I told them there’s no way, I’ve never seen this before. I’ve looked everywhere and I fear my kids are right. What do I do? I can’t complete Mario’s head!
@catturd2 You idiots are exhausting, please get off my timeline. He’s president, he’s afraid of the cold, I get it. Is this all about the fact that lizard people like heat!?
@JoeyMannarinoUS Not sure who this guy is but I’d fire his ass. The fry station is not the place for people that can’t handle high pressure situations.
@elonmusk Is this what you want this whole free speech thing to be about? Seems like you want to be the biggest news source, but anyone can claim anything as news... fuck off Elon
